Business Quick Tip:

We found out that we were having a lot of customer callbacks on our work, at one point in our business. Most of the time it was a leak that was causing problems. We ended up developing The Perfect 10 Checklist and sent an inspector to the job site at the end of every job to assess how well the crew did the top 10 things that caused leaks. If they scored a Perfect 10, then the crew got a bonus. We were able to cut our callbacks by 90% with this simple checklist. It also cut our costs and improved customer satisfaction. It's a win-win. Go to the website to get the checklist and start implementing it!
