Why You May Want to Wait to File for PPP Loan Forgiveness and Other Tips
JDSupra
Most Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) borrowers are working toward full forgiveness of their PPP loans and are anxious to get this process started. A borrower generally may submit a loan forgiveness application any time on or before the maturity of the loan—including before the end of the covered period—if the borrower has used all of the loan proceeds. But that does not mean a borrower should submit a loan forgiveness application as soon as possible.

Getting Jobs Into Production by Eliminating Waste
Remodeling
When there is a surge in leads, sales and projects in design, remodeling companies are left with the challenge of getting projects through pre-production (estimating, design, material ordering and project planning) quickly and accurately to get jobs into production. Business owners that are facing this challenge can look to improvement of their pre-production processes.

Customer Leadership
Pro Remodeler
When it comes to newer salespeople, one of the biggest areas of growth that I see revolves around customer leadership. The traditional perception of customer service is to do what the customer asks, and then hand them a bill. That does not work in remodeling. Remodeling is a complex, expensive sale, and homeowners don’t have a lot of experience buying it.

Five Fundamentals
Remodeling
In this industry, companies aren't designed; they evolve. As a result, more is different than the same when it comes to financial standards. Many owners are thrilled to make 5% net profit. Others are in trouble with 10%. The only real health of your business will come from your own formula, based on how you structure your company. The key is to know your numbers and understand them in relationship to your goals.
