Leaders, owners, and experts in the restoration industry lend their thoughts on where the industry has come in the last decade, and where it is heading.
As part of my job, every year I review hundreds of income statements and analyze operational costs for the purpose of improving profitability. On three separate occasions in just the past year, I discovered that struggling contractors were not realizing their full profit potential because their gross profit targets were too low.
The problem we have in our industry is that even though we have plenty of owners leading the way, demonstrating this highly functional and profitable behavior every single day, too much of the daily operations happen in a way that’s commitment-phobic.
As a woman who owns and operates a full-service restoration business, I'm glad to see that old perceptions are beginning to change. Every woman in our industry can share that same sense of satisfaction. We know we're making a difference as both leaders and women in our field.
Here’s some good news for the greater workforce at-large. The America Dream is alive and well. And guess what’s even better? You don’t have to do it all by yourself.
