@DaveLMMenz Absolutely love my fellow countryman, Dr. Peterson!

We've got our annual planning meeting this weekend.
We'll be revisiting core values and stripping anything that's not core or redundant.

Over the many years you've been in business, Dave, have you revisited core values?

[David Laing | A New Laundromat Owner's Journey @tracking_david]

@DaveLMMenz 👏
I like how you've boiled this down to the most potent 3 things.
We're trying to do the same with our team. I knew we succeeded when we took on a huge (for us) contract, short-staffed too and the rest have still been able to pull it all together!

@WaleedCope Love it 👏

@gregisenberg These are great ideas!
I like the Spotify for work in progress. People could even "fund an album" and potentially get something out of it like free tickets to the release concert, maybe a percentage of proceeds from streaming revenue, maybe free merch.

3 WAYS YOUR LAUNDRY SERVICE COULD BENEFIT FROM AI SO YOU CAN EARN MORE MONEY 🤖

[David Laing | A New Laundromat Owner's Journey @tracking_david]

3/COST
Optimize manpower.

Drivers, routes & production staff. Analyze performance and be alerted when you fall below target. AI analyzesand recommends pay based on speed, quality and other factors.

It's worth paying A-players 30% more if they produce 70% more than average.

Tip #4: Charge More Frequently (CONTINUITY)

How?

Give customers inventive to use your service weekly.
Maybe guarantee pick up and delivery slots + slight discount off retail pricing.

For example, we had a baseball team and guaranteed game-day readiness for their jerseys.
