Communication Is The Key
This week’s blog post is a very brief one about communication as the key to success for Specialist Contractors.
As you know, we are officially in the Information Age.
Like it or lump it, we are all members of a society who connect through the internet, not just to it. Text, Whats App,Twitter, Facebook, Face Time etc. etc. love it or loathe it we can’t turn back the clock.
The Communication Age is here to stay…
So, what has this got to do with Specialist Contractors?
Well, I reckon that you have an amazing opportunity to use the explosion of easy communication to massive benefit in your business, and here is one simple example of how.
Back in the day if you wanted to know which Main Contractors paid on time, or what they were like to deal with, there wasn’t really anywhere to find out. Yes, you could check their credit rating but that won’t tell you much, and unless you personally knew someone who had worked for them then you were stumped.
And if you had a question about variations, or set off, or suspending work your chances of getting a quick and easy answer were limited.
So what’s changed?
Now there is a fantastic resource exclusively for Specialist Contractors in the form of StreetwiseSubbie.com and our LinkedIn Group of over 2,100 owners directors and senior staff, of Specialist Contracting businesses sharing information and knowledge for the benefit of all.
So if you aren’t part of it yet – you should be!
And if you are part of it you should be using it to it’s full capabilities, and encouraging every UK Specialist Contractor to join, because this is a powerful source of serious debate and knowledge sharing.
This group is the catalyst for massive change in the industry, and we will be announcing more about that soon.
