However, understanding what a software service does vs implementing it are two COMPLETELY different things. In fact, if you’ve tried getting your team to adopt new tech at some point already, it can easily lead to you wanting to fire everyone, quit the trades, and start a simpler business like building space stations. All joking aside, it’s not easy to embrace change, especially when it comes to tech. My guest on the show today is Brett Jones, a Key Account Executive of Data Solutions at BuilderTrend. Over the last 3 years, Brett has done over 150 On Site Consultations helping builders, GC, and Remodelers implement BuilderTrend so that it functions at its fullest and delivers the highest possible ROI for the Entrepreneur and their team. To learn what Brett has observed about the builders that succeed in this area, vs those that don’t, watch this episode.
