Business merging

Ah Mary-Anne! Separate from CompanyCam, my No. 1 day-to-day priority, I've thought about doing the same with some of my other side businesses that I do for fun (Session Solos, JTal Guitars, etc.). The content creation stuff has been the most rewarding and takes up more time than the others, so I've thought about rolling it all up under that. I've got some experience with it in terms of being in S-Corps, multiple LLC setups in the past but not enough to guide anyone but myself yet.

This is me saying, I'm considering the same, on a much smaller level than you (way smaller lol) and I'm willing to trade notes while not having a ton of answers yet. ;)

I would love that! I’m super torn as my accountant wants to wait until we see the numbers for 2025 but I’m drowning in paperwork and just want to pull the trigger for beginning of January.

🎶 What are you listening to during the day on or off the job site? 🎙️

I heard the brain is a muscle, it needs some recovery time lol. But i agree sometimes you need to run on Beast Mode and progress gets addicting especially when you learn something new and apply it and see the fruits of your hard work.

Absolutely! I actually don’t listen to anything in the morning. 4am-8am (minus an hour gym time) I wallow in my own thoughts which I’m not sure is any better 😂

Inventory Tracking System

Just got a QRC gun, working on a little project before we sprint it. Ill keep you guys updated when I figure it out. Have you guys checked out Kaizenify?
Click to expand...
We looked at that and a couple other ones. We aren't selling to consumer a ton, so we aren't necessarily moving pieces like it appears they benefit the most. The parts we ship out to buyers are the same parts we also use on jobsites. We mainly just need a tracking software that can easily transfer and ship products but also keep recordings of movement.

🚀 Kicking off Inside CompanyCam: How do YOU use it day-to-day?

Software_Stacks_Alot
Our photo capture process varies greatly from client to client and then again by market segment. Its alot for new hires to try and learn. I hate to jump on the band wagon here, however #tags is my revolutionary shortcut. I set up tags that every program/job/vendor/market must have in order to fund. Once a new hire is in the field, he can simply exhaust every tag and know he got the photos needed in order to get paid!!

Takes away a lot of anxiety, and helps internally with our contracts in transit and incentive department.

I found as I got older, it was getting easier to get fluffy. I did CrossFit 4-6 days a week, ate healthy but still found my body composition wasn’t what I was thinking it should be for how hard I worked.

I hired a trainer, and it got worse, then another and another, then the more I learned, the more I realized not all of them were as educated as I thought they were. But like doctors, dentists and trades people, they’re not all the same and finally found one that knew their stuff and the changes in just a few short weeks was insane. I actually found her on Instagram once my algorithm changed to a lot of fitness oriented posts. I started an 8 week challenge that was pretty reasonable in cost and started from there. Realized my eating healthy wasn’t exactly as balanced as I thought, cut down on CrossFit and focused more on weight lifting. Bam, 8 weeks I was damn near shredded.

I do often fall off the wagon when I’m busy, but a quick 8 week challenge is a great way to reset the program. There’s a bunch of dudes I follow to that I have seen people make huge transformations if you ever wanted to give one a try I can send you their profile.

I think beyond that all, which is great advice, I've got something else I need to figure out. At least I'm happy :):):)

Anyone using Trial Reels to success? I always forget to use it and mean to use it for every Reel on IG for the first 24 hours
Click to expand...
I have been starting to use it recently. I actually re-edited reels that have previously gone viral and posted them strictly to trials. 4 so far and 3 have all done pretty well (90k, 700k and 6 mil). One doing really bad at 60. Like, 6-0 lol.

Following bumped by a few thousand this month on IG from my average so I’d say it’s going good. As for new reels, I haven’t done any as I think I’m not patient enough for that yet. I should try though.

🔥 Hot topic: Prices for your work 🔥

KAyersETC
I spent 15 years in food distribution, and we always preached keeping a low stale percentage: product that went out of date. However, if that number was effectively zero, we were missing sales. If you are not pushing the envelope on price, you are missing profit. If you have 100% retention rate, you're not charging what you're worth. A good rule of thumb is to climb in increments. The first number of a cost is always the one that matters. There has to be a balance in what you charge, and how many people walk away. Most people don't think outside of $100 increments and the ones that do, think in $50 increments. $125 might as well be $145, for example. If you have a 15% increase in cost, you can afford to lose 10% of your customers. 100x125= 12500, 90x13050 in this example. Maybe you keep everyone, and then you're at even more money (and consider a higher number again), but you never know where that line is until you find some rejection.

Email History - What do you do?

the_ladyplumber
I always save email threads because it’s happened where I’ve had to go back and remind a client of what we communicated about. Right now I’m just copy and pasting them to my Jobber notes in each job.

I don’t like the disorganized nature of it. There isn’t a keyword search in the notes in Jobber, so you do have to read through the whole thread to find it.

Is there a better way? Is there a CompanyCam spot that would log it into Jobber?
