We have all seen the jack of all trades guys, or the guy that offer carpet, hardwood, tile, sheet goods, etc. How about the guys and gals that are doing residential one week and commercial the next. Sure it can all be done but each thing is technically a different model and they all require knowing the ins and outs of each so that you can properly run your business as efficiently as possible. If they are being run as one in the same, it can lead to cash flow problems, scheduling issues, and more.

Mark Bischoff is the CEO of Starnet, a commercial flooring networking group for contractors and vendors. Through their program over 4 billion dollars in sales is done per year in labor and materials. Through his position, Mark has seen any number of business models in the flooring industry from union labor versus non union, subcontractor versus employee, and how commercial projects get run. He knows there are many ways to skin a cat but if you don’t know the rules of engagement, then the results will be sloppy.

Listen in to this week’s episodes of the Floor Academy podcast as Mark and I discuss what steps you need to take to define your business model, how you need to learn and manage your numbers and why going outside of your box isn’t always the best idea.
