EP371: I’ve Always Done It That Way! Fire side Chat with Tyson Matayas and Slayer

Regularly audit your business processes for outdated practices; methods that once worked may now be inefficient due to technological advancements.

Invest in new software and technology, such as inspection apps or digital drawing tools, to significantly reduce time spent on administrative tasks and improve professional output.

Encourage an open-minded culture within your team; listen to suggestions for innovation, even from new employees, as they might spot inefficiencies others overlook.

Understand that 'how we've always done it' can lead to missing opportunities for increased profitability and efficiency, like the example of wireless switches versus wired installations.

While embracing new methods, ensure your team retains foundational skills for analog alternatives, as technology can fail, and knowing the old ways can keep operations running.

Leverage technology for client interactions; digital proposals and instant reports can impress clients and shorten sales cycles, demonstrating modern professionalism.

Be aware of how customers vet contractors today; social proof online is crucial, so focus on managing your digital presence rather than relying solely on traditional self-promotion.
