June 13

The Price Is Right…..Or Is It? With Tom Grandy
Improper labor pricing is the #1 killer of small businesses today! This session will cover all the basics of profitable labor pricing using a Sample Company and ten (10) filled in worksheets. Most companies are aware of the basic overhead costs; however, the two HIGHEST costs of doing business (cost of non-billable time and equipment replacement costs) are often left out. Remember - If you are not priced right nothing else matters. Be sure to take time to attend this basic foundational program.
Specific Learning Objectives: Attendees will learn a simple and effective method of pricing labor for service and/or installation jobs based on their real cost of doing business (from a cash flow perspective instead of accounting)
Session Outline: A Sample Company will be used and information on all ten (10) worksheets will be filled in. The attendee will then be able to return to the office and use the worksheets to determine their required, and profitable, hourly rate.

How to Be Wildly Successful in Any Economy! With Tom Grandy
Who says things have to be slow in today’s economy? Many companies are not only making it, they are growing and prospering….and your company needs to be one of them! The key is really quite simple “Be the best at what you do!” This session will help the contractor do just that by covering topics like:
What to do when times are slow (evaluate the company, create systems, etc.)
Three (3) things every customer wants from their contractor
Eight (8) things to learn from a VERY successful contractor
Seven (7) things you need to brainstorm with all your employees
Understanding the basic costs of doing business
Overcoming the fear factor of raising your rates

If you want your company to experience profitable growth in any economy, including this one, don’t miss this session!
Specific Learning Objectives: Attendees will gain a new perspective on working in today’s economy. The bottom line is simple. Stop looking at the problems and start looking for opportunities. Session Outline: Attendees will take home dozens of ideas concerning how to best utilize their time, talents and resources during a slow economy.

Hands-on Masonry Skills Workshop with Gary Hart: Learn how to lay brick and build a chimney! Learn masonry skills with master mason Gary Hart.
