Blame it on the Weather

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Anyone else noticed how crazy the weather has been this year?  Believe it or not at one point this winter there was snow in at least some part of 49 of the 50 states, over 60% of the country blanketed in snow at one time.

Owning your own home service business can be unpredictable, too.  At times, there’s too many calls coming in, and there’s no way you can get everything done. Other times, you’re begging for the phone to ring just once. How do you find a balance?

Systems. Plain and simple.

If your business is running on solid systems, like the franchises at Leading the Service Industry, you’ll be better suited to handle variables in the marketplace. Marketing, planning, training and support are just a phone call away.

Expecting the Unexpected

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Snowfall at The Dwyer Group in Waco, Texas.It’s nothing compared to what people in the Northeast received earlier this year, but Waco received a big snowfall today. Roads closed. Schools closed. It disrupted the normal course of business. This kind of thing happens almost every day in places like Minneapolis and Toronto. But for us in Texas, it’s quite unexpected.

Is your business prepared for the unexpected? What if you’re sick for an extended period of time? One of your service trucks goes down. Do you have the systems and support in place to push on in the face of the unexpected?

Don’t let life’s unexpected problems cause big trouble for your business. Get the systems. Get a plan together. Prepare for the sunny days and the snowy days. It will bring you peace of mind and a more successful future.
