It’s time to review your budget and bidding for 2010. Time to set up a 2010 “scoreboard,” evaluate what’s working and what isn’t and make the appropriate adjustments for the upcoming season.
To help companies prepare for what could be another challenging year, green industry consultant Jim Huston, president of J. R. Huston Consulting, is making plans to visit clients on the East Coast May 3 – 21.
And because the economy has been so challenging, Huston will offer discounts on his consulting services. A minimum 25 percent discount applies to normal consulting rates. GreenBack Club members will only be charged for 50 of the time they receive.
Agendas for consulting visits vary from company to company, but they usually entail:
- ?Reviewing 2009
- Benchmarking your business and its functions.
- Setting sales and management goals for 2010 and reviewing specific bids, your bidding processes, field-labor hour budgets and G&A overhead recovery
- Establishing budgets for 2010 to include G&A overhead recovery, labor burden, labor hours, sales, etc.
- Computer estimating training and/or upgrading to our new Bid Suite Software that includes estimating, job costing and a link to QuickBooks.
- Act! Contact management software training.
- Working on exit strategies.
- Reviewing staffing and company structure.
- Company evaluation, buying and selling companies.
