Keeping your home services business going strong year after year shows how hard you work and how much you care about your business, your team, and your community. When it’s time to expand in the future, do you know the best ways to stay ahead and achieve your business goals?
At Nexstar Network, we help plumbing, heating, cooling and electrical (PHCE) business leaders improve operations, plan for the future, and keep businesses thriving for years to come. Here are our tips for getting started.
Think about your business to build your strategy
You may find that name recognition and good service are not enough to take your business to the next level. It’s time to figure out where to put your energy into growth and create a business designed to serve the next generation of customers. This might mean adding more services, expanding into new areas, or improving the parts of your business that are struggling. As you consider your choices, stay focused on what you want to achieve. The clearer you are when thinking about your strategy, the better your plan will be.
At this important time, business training is key. Business coaches with experience in the skilled trades can provide straightforward advice, share valuable tips and scenario planning, and help you develop the steps you need to grow your business.
Plan your money for growth
Before finalizing your business growth strategy, check your finances. Growing periods can be expensive at first, so a little preparation goes a long way. A professional business coach or accounting coach can guide your budgeting process as you scale and forecast your required cash flow to ensure your business is set up for success during the development phase.
Building influential relationships
As a home service business owner, you may see other contractors as your competition. But there is another way to look at it. Keep in mind the idea that your colleagues are your greatest and most reliable resource for improving your work. Joining a group like the Nexstar Network enables you to connect with like-minded business owners and meet preferred suppliers.
When you talk and share ideas with others in the industry, you gain knowledge and insights while identifying partners you wouldn’t have met otherwise. In a friendly and open network where people want to help each other, sharing what you’ve learned over the years can help everyone grow their business together, strengthening our entire industry.
