Is Flatwork Kings for me?
Modern consulting for the concrete tradesman,
From the concrete businessman.
Do you struggle with bringing your business to the next level? Do you struggle with finding a way to grow? Do you often think “I am doing this all myself"? Do you want to retire from your business one day? Do you find yourself working for the business and the business NOT working FOR YOU?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, Flatwork Kings was created just for you. We are a consulting group aimed at providing ground-breaking mentorship and lessons to management and ownership level individuals that want to take their careers and businesses to the next level.
The era of information and technology sharing is upon us and the trades are severely lacking. With plenty of “how-to” guides and classes available for technical training, most of us are lost when it comes to running a business the way it should be run. Most of us have the drive but lack the tools to streamline and turn a small business into an empire. Seem like a pipe dream? It’s certainly not.
If we work as hard ON our businesses as we do IN our business, the sky is the limit. Your biggest competition dwells in your own mind. Check us out and let’s get your business working FOR YOU.
We will tailor our consulting services to fit your needs. From helping you develop profitable and streamlined processes in the field, with the crew(s) to diving into better book keeping techniques and hiring tips for the sole proprietor. We consult with businesses from 1-1,000 employees. No business is too small or too large to sharpen its operations.
“I have never failed at anything. Only tried 10,000 things that didn’t work.”
Areas of Practice
Marketing, Tactical Growth
Our trusted connections in the industry can help guide you as you learn to navigate and explore different marketing techniques that can propel your business into “Household name” status. What is my motivation to grow my business? How big is too big and can I get there too fast? Sensitive subjects like these that sometimes poke at our pride are a breeze with the right coaching!
Purchasing, borrowing, saving
Have you ever wondered what your business would look like with new equipment? How would you pay for it? Is it worth doing? How do I take on larger projects and afford to make payroll and steady supplier payments? We tackle these tough subjects on a case by case plan fit especially for you and your goals.
Employees
Our network has the experience and the passion for creating and implementing good hiring and firing techniques for the small business owner. We also specialize in retention techniques that can enable your business to benefit from lower-than-ever turnover.
Spirituality and Morals
Every day you wake up you need a reason and a motivation to fight the good fight. After-all, nothing worth having is going to come easy. We take the time to bring balance to the “ruthless business leader” mentality with an emphasis on what it means to be a business owner. What do you mean to your employees? What do you mean to your customer? What does your business mean to the community?
Contracts, Estimating, Collecting
Struggling with a way to be stern and fair and polite with customers all at the same time? Is the customer always right? Is your estimate for the work going to be accurate when it comes time to complete the work? We help prepare you and your business for tough situations that can be extremely costly. Ever ounce of energy poured into this category pays back 10 fold.
Networking and Relationship Building
New and smaller business that are seeking growth and success rely heavily on building new and meaningful relationships almost daily. What is the best way to approach a potential client? What is the best way to introduce my business to the community in a new light? We set you up with the tools to achieve this in even the most subtle way. You do not need to be an extrovert to succeed in business, but you do need to be willing to learn!
“We must all obey the great law of change. It is the most powerful law of nature.”
