Key Points Covered:
1. Barometer for Company Performance:
- Design and Estimate Queues: Keeping a close eye on the number of design and estimate requests helps anticipate workload and manage resources. Aaron advises maintaining a "bell-shaped curve" to avoid overwhelming the team and ensure timely client service.
- Volume Report: Monitoring monthly sales activity, including the number of projects chased, quoted, and sold, helps predict future workload and sales trends.
2. Critical Reports for Monitoring:
- Open Orders Report: This report forecasts project closures and compares them with actual completions to track sales and production performance.
- Department Hours Report: Comparing estimated and actual hours spent on projects identifies potential inefficiencies or capacity issues within different departments.
3. Incentivizing Sales and Managing Accounts Receivable:
- Sales commissions are paid only after the company receives payment, encouraging timely collections and maintaining cash flow.
- Regular monitoring of accounts receivable ensures liquidity, preventing financial bottlenecks and maintaining operational stability.
Aaron emphasizes the importance of responsiveness and client satisfaction, noting that delays in providing quotes or completing projects can lead to lost business. By maintaining a clear understanding of incoming work, ongoing projects, and financial health, business owners can effectively navigate the challenges of running a company.
