@RosserJobs For us it’s worth it. We posted a Director of PM position and got 500+ applications. With assessment, we weed out 95% of people that aren’t serious about the position. Then Claude reviews the assessments and provide a ranked list of qualified candidates.

@ClintFiore Check out the SPAN smart panel for #1 on your wish list.

@ChrisRamsey60 The real differentiator near us (SF Bay Area) is the ratio of garage to office space. We really prefer a 50/50 split of space (our leased space in configured this way), but most available spaces are 90% garage.

@ChandlerReedSMB Congrats! We’re at the 2 year mark as well. Hopefully we still receive it. Would be nice injection for our business before year end.

@collin_ruth89 And if something comes up, and you can’t do it ( for whatever reason) be honest and communicate right away and propose an alternate solution.

@investing_law Just got the XC90 recharge. Love it. All electric around town and gas for road trips. Super safe and comfortable. We picked it up for $15K off MSRP.

[MATT HAYNES @electricianSMB]

@collin_ruth89 Nice post. It’s nice to take a step back and remember why it is that we work hard.

[MATT HAYNES @electricianSMB]

@lawyer4SMBs Absolutely no regrets. Tech is awesome and the ability to charge at home is a game changer. Wife doesn’t have to get out of the car at the gas station is another big plus (safety reasons).

@collin_ruth89 I would order pizza delivery to our high school at lunch time and sell slices for $2 a piece 😂 would make about $20 a day and eat for free. My teacher would let me out of class 5 minutes early if I brought her a few slices 😎

@theownerop We pay 100% for family med/dental/vision PPO. Silver plan. Employees have buy up option for platinum plan. I never want my employees to leave 😀

@meetmikehiggins Why stop there? Want the work done for REALLY cheap? Go to the Home Depot parking lot! Tons of guys that want your work for a 1/3 the price. 😂

[MATT HAYNES @electricianSMB]

@STLChrisH Electrician here. We install EV chargers and pull permits for all of them. Almost every competitor we have does not. Since it’s a relatively inexpensive project, adding the permit costs often puts our price well above competition.

It’s always about doing the right thing.

[MATT HAYNES @electricianSMB]

@ChandlerReedSMB We do quarterly bonuses and find it works well. Also, I notify the employee about 10 days before the bonus is issued so they can adjust their 401k contribution if they want to capture Extra $ and pay less in taxes on the bonus.

[MATT HAYNES @electricianSMB]

@BuilderMonk As a contractor myself, I understand and believe this. That’s why we go out of our way to communicate and provide a quality service. It’s one we differentiate ourselves from the competition. Gotta play the long game.
