We help construction companies. Being in a line of work like that puts us into contact with other organizations who do the same all the time. We work with several different trade organizations in a few different capacities, but always to the same end – helping subcontractors and GCs to do their work more efficiently, more safely and with fewer headaches.
Often we meet contractors who ask the question, “What can a trade organization do for me?” We know some good answers, but we thought it was a great opportunity to put you in touch with the expert, so we brought in special guest Wendy Novak from Associated Builders and Contractors of Western Washington (ABC.)
We talk about:
- The History of Trade Organizations
- The 3 kinds of help that trade organizations provide
- Access to Community
- Access to Training
- Access to Resources
- How the internet has changed the landscape for Trade Orgs and what they’re doing to stay on the leading edge
- Understanding what the incoming generation of business owners want
- The value of curation in the age of information overload
- The shift of value from money to time
- The shift of importance from work to family
- The real value of ‘IRL’ connections
