This show is brought to you by Connecteam Using digital platforms in our industry - especially among the young folks - is becoming more common - because it improves efficiency, prevents mistakes and overall makes our lives as contractors easier.This is why we’ve partnered with Connecteam, a platform built to manage, train and communicate with your team! Connecteam’s desktop version gives managers a live overview of the business - to track work hours, create schedules, and make sure the business meets compliance - just to name a few. Employees - they just download the app to their mobile - to clock in and out, share safety reports, get updates - and so much more, all in one place, ensuring they’ve got what they need to perform at their best. Connecteam got a free plan and a 14-day free trial - check out the link in the show notes https://connecteam.cc/3DvnSVh Bryant Isaacs of Target Combined Services joins us to share advice for tradespeople looking to go on their own.
