Conflict Management and Mediation
In the construction industry, misunderstandings and disagreements with both internal and external parties are common. Building trusted and valued relationships with clients or owners can often resolve many issues through simple discussion and compromise. However, some situations may significantly impact your company, requiring you to establish and defend your position firmly. Contractors might feel intimidated by the prospect of proving their case or dealing with larger, more sophisticated clients. With extensive experience in conflict management for electrical contractors, we assist you in addressing your problems and creating strategies to maximize your position effectively. Examples include change orders, scope interpretation, delay claims, inclusions/exclusions, and compression.

Unlike most computer consultants, we have hands-on experience in both accounting details and computer system installations. Whether you need a system built around QuickBooks and third-party applications or one centered on larger legacy systems, we can establish the right solution for your business.

Marketing
We can help you set up an effective marketing program to develop your market focus, determining which clients to pursue or drop to enhance your sales and profitability. With extensive experience in developing and managing marketing plans, we ensure your resources are allocated to the best opportunities. Our services include cold call training and assistance, annual marketing plans, client assessments, tracking and reporting of opportunities, marketing training on client development, co-marketing services, and proposals and templates. Many companies lack a coordinated marketing plan and a clear vision of their market. Cold calling can be stressful, but we can help you develop this skill and even make calls together. Some clients rely on us exclusively for their marketing efforts.
