Based on my years of operating, coaching and training in the in-home service industry, if I had to name the top five struggles contractors face, one of them would be failure to grow at the desired speed. 

With every new consulting client, I begin our work by asking the following: “How are you judging your staff’s performance?”

Dave Squires is no stranger to the challenges of running a plumbing contracting business.
