Time Is the Constraint | Tim Williams, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives

Want an operations manager running this in your business? Visit edgeoperationsmanagers.com https://edgeoperationsmanagers.com Tim Williams runs two Outdoor Lighting Perspectives territories in the greater Albany area of upstate New York, designing, installing and maintaining outdoor lighting for homes and businesses. After ten years in consulting he bought a franchise built to be passed on or sold, and he tells Juan Pablo Gaxiola (JP) why being in business for yourself but not by yourself let him launch fast. They cover his core constraint (time), the ServiceMinder workflows that move a lead to install and invoice, a second set of eyes on every install, why change fails without explaining the why, and how he uses AI agents for speed to lead after hours.
