SaaS is such a racket sometimes. Of course Hubspot will add a new user in 20 seconds but when you want to remove a user, you have to wait until your subscription renewal once a year.

“Go into the cloud” they say. “It’s the way of the future. Virtual desktops are great.” I have had more down time since going into the cloud and using a virtual desktop than I ever had with physical servers.

Can someone in marketing smarter than me explain this new trend of “the guy” in every home service logo I see? You all know him, he’s the cartoony looking guy you see on the side of every new truck on the road. It’s not that I don’t like it, it just seems like a huge trend now

I love watching this guy run. It’s our roll label finishing machine. It takes printed material, laminates with hard film or adds a liquid lam, die cuts with a flexible die plate on a magnetic drum, strips the waste, splits into smaller rolls and rewinds the finished product.

ISO machine shop for a part like this, looking for a quote on qty’s of 500 and 1000. Who’s out there that can help? DM and I’ll send files.

I feel like AR stress varies from industry to industry. I see some folks on here stressed about AR that I assumed were much larger (revenue wise) than me. Now, that assumption might be where I am wrong but I am pretty sure it's not. We are a lower ticket sale, AOV around $750.

Having a machine that runs unattended is pretty cool. 27,000 labels-proof approved at 3pm this afternoon-job will to the customer by tomorrow afternoon. Not always able to make turns like this happen but it sure is awesome when it works out. Makes for a very happy customer.

This morning one of my employees broke the center brake light reflector off the top of a vendors rented transit van. We were unloading another customers product to get to ours which was below it. The branch manager called, treating my employees like shit after he couldn't get a

Just signed up for our first real marketing spend in the 40 year history of our company. Lead gen has always fallen on our sales team. I’m really hoping this gets them good leads so they can spend less time prospecting and more time selling.

"You don't know what you don't know" I am fanatical about working with people I at least have some level of relationship with for this reason. Hiring service providers you have zero relationship with is a great way to get taken advantage of. Met a guy on the golf course a

Took my 12 and 13 year old out to do an install with me this morning. I try not to do a lot of field work these days bc it’s not the best use of my time but I have to show these kids that #1 I can do the work and #2 I am willing to do the work. No better feeling in the world than

Well, not a great start to the week when your power goes out and you have to send your whole team home at 1:30pm and you are scheduled to be at a conference for 3 days starting tomorrow.

Spent the week at a conference with high level operators in my industry. What a cool experience to be able to pick the brains of folks in my industry who are crushing it. Super motivating. It was fully paid for event put on by industry sponsors, had to submit an application and

My wife and I are both in our early 40’s. Tonight she finally convinced me to watch The Titanic for the first time. She saw it 7 times in the theaters. How much am I going to hate it?

Where is the best place to find general labor help these days? We need to hire an entry level shop worker to help in multiple departments. Used to be Craigs List back in day. We use Indeed for office/sales.
