And don’t forget to login to the Chapter Brand Center to download our Social Media Best Practices and content for your Chapter Facebook pages!
Weekly Tip: Be as Transparent as Possible. Share photos from events you host/attend, both during the event, but some behind the scenes content, too. Openness goes a long way in social media. It’s a big part of building trust with your community. Give your customers behind the scenes access to your business by creating videos, livestreaming meetings, and internal company events, and introducing your team through Google Hangouts or creative employee profiles with links to connect. In turn, prospects will take more of an interest in your brand, and stay in touch when it comes to updates.

Reviews can make or break the first impression you give to potential customers. Depending on where they look—Google, Facebook, Yelp—they might get different sides of the story. Much like homes, not all review platforms or review websites are created equal. While Facebook and Google allow reviews to occur organically, Yelp has shifted away from its original purpose and morphed into a prime example of review bias.
If you have a negative review come in on any of these popular platforms, there are a few things you can do to mitigate the damage and make the most of the situation, including remaining objective and refusing to argue. Want to learn more?

Five years ago, Jennifer Johnson, founder and CEO of the Construction Trade School in Dallas, started to talk to home building and remodeling organizations about a looming labor shortage in the residential construction trades.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is reportedly inquiring about the operations of San Diego-based Renovate America, which is the largest lender of PACE loans, a type of financing that funds energy-efficient home improvements.
The company and other PACE lenders have come under increased scrutiny after complaints that too many borrowers are taking out unaffordable loans for solar panels and other energy-efficiency projects after contractors misrepresented how the financing is to be paid back.

At the urging of a contractor networking group he joined a year ago, the owner of a Maryland roofing and gutter company hired his first office manager at the beginning of this year. Now, between running leads and visiting jobsites, he occasionally has something he’s had only rarely in the course of a day since starting his operation a few years back: time to think about where to take the business and how to get it there.
