I found these this morning on Larry Jeneski’s site think daily. Good to think about.

Before this change, business was Great. So great, that just weeks before the shut down we were visiting two other towns for opening new locations. We would always fuss about we had so much business we couldn’t take care of our equipment and trucks the way we use to when first started. I always wanted my equipment to look as if it just came out of the crate on every job. Chips and dings in outer housing of equipment and trucks/vans were to be touched up immediately. Matching uniforms for each crew for specific days. Many things that helped our business grow and collect 100’s of 5-Star reviews. I have decided to use this time to turn back the clock to our “start out” mind set. All equipment refurbished to new. Shams and cleaning tools for our vans/trucks in every truck. Car washes are offering discounts from the virus that we’re purchasing. New uniforms. Purchasing shirts on sale at sporting goods store and monogramming at a discount prices. Even though this is a crisis and terrible, there has never been a better time to get a new business started or a seasoned business as a new business, saving money all the way. We’re getting ready for our Grand Re-Opening after 18 years of local success.

We’re reviewing our Fleet Costs – what trucks still have high value with high operating costs that might be traded on a new vehicle with lower overall costs?

“Blocking and Tackling”
I love and embrace slow periods(usually seasonally). It allows us to work on our fundamentals. Market correctly, answer the phones professionally, sell well, install properly and efficiently, collect the money promptly. Get the basics right and everything else will fall into place. It’s all about proper blocking and tackling.
