Have you ever wondered whether getting your field staff to track their time is worthwhile?
Sure, it’d be great to hold them accountable. But you can already hear their grumbles and groans about having to add another thing to their to-do list.
The thing is, in other businesses (think accounting, law, marketing agencies), time tracking is standard practice. The whole goal in those industries is to make as much time billable to the client as possible. So why is it different in the trades?
Our guest on the show today is Isaac Barlow. He’s the Founder of busybusy. The industry-leading time-tracking app for construction and trades.
Today’s conversation is about leveraging time-tracking technology to increase productivity and profitability without hurting your company culture.
Episode highlights:
Learn how time tracking can be used to create a performance culture built on business intelligence.
Understand why field staff often resist adopting modern tech and how to change their attitudes and get them on board with time tracking.
Find out how to create a modern data-obsessed organization in an old school industry.
