This Week At Contracting Business
Interactive September 24, 2008 |
This is the third in a series of four articles written by Matt
Michel that discuss what we can learn from the accomplishments of one of
the greatest Olympic athletes of our time, Michael Phelps.
11. Support Your Team. Team comes first with Phelps. When he was
giving his last interview at the 2007 FINA World Championships, he
appeared slightly distracted. He kept looking at a television set
hanging from the wall. Finally, he interrupted the interview so he
could watch teammate Katie Hoff in the 400-meter medley. He cheered her
on and fist pumped when she won, earning her first world record. Phelps
apologized to the assembled media saying, “Sorry. Didn’t want to
miss that.”

That’s what we all want. And that's why I was especially pleased
recently to hear of one contractor’s success based on a few ideas that
I had been assembling into a manual about home show marketing.

A contractor called our office with a question about oval duct
airflow performance. It’s a typical concern that we hear from time to
time, usually because when oval duct is installed in homes, it moves
less air than what the designer expects.

Attending industry conferences is a fantastic way to learn things
about the industry you work in you may not have known before.
The 2008 Commercial Contracting Roundtable & Design/Build Seminar is no
exception...Come to the conference and you'll most likely learn at least
one thing you can apply to your business right away. Chances are you
will learn several things, but if one new technique is all it takes to
make your business more profitable, isn't that worth the investment?
Join us this November 12-13, 2008 in Atlanta, Georgia for two days of
workshops and networking opportunities. The great ideas will flow
throughout, so don’t miss it. Your competition won’t.
This is what you will learn.
This is how you get there.
Make the commitment and come to Atlanta. See you there.
The 2008 Commercial Contracting Roundtable & Design/Build Seminar is
brought to you by Contracting Business and ACCA.
