      <image:title>Business Manuals</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you need to get high-quality work from your trade contractors, you will need to create some "standard operating procedures." And in this tight labor market, with good employees so scarce, you need to make sure they are accountable and performing at peak efficiency and competency. The Trade Contractor Guide Lines manual contains guidelines that you can use to manage each of your contractors' on-site performance.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>To run a profitable remodeling company, your production team has to be better than “good.” They’ve got to be great. Your image and your reputation is a direct reflection on your production team’s success or failure. This manual, Production Guidelines – Managing Profitable Jobs, will prove when things run smoothly, you get rewarded with referrals.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Business Manuals</image:title>
      <image:caption>Every successful remodeling company needs a clear paper trail. With The Book of Forms manual, you can use my already tested and proven internal documents for administration, sales, and production to enhance whatever forms you’re currently using in your office.

      <image:caption>Are you doing the selling for your firm? Would you like to delegate the sales to a salesperson and have your salesperson produce the same volume you do or better? Perhaps you’ve thought of bringing on a salesperson but you’ve been unable to do so because nobody’s been able to sell the jobs as well as you can.</image:caption>
