The construction industry is complex: full of behemoth-sized projects, unique processes, workflows, and other monumental tasks that always seem to be due yesterday. Without a good construction accounting software, businesses will likely collapse. Determine what your construction company needs in its accounting software.

Standing still is never an option, and nowhere is this truer than in marketing. A message that cuts to the core of the zeitgeist one day can be passé by the next news cycle. A social channel that is the toast of the Silicon Valley elite at SXSW can be a total ghost town by the time you’ve built a strategy for it. Times change, and we need to move with them. This does not mean leaping onto every trend going.

Rather than respond with knee-jerk reactions or lash out in frustration or anger when the status quo is unacceptable and change is needed use constructive impatience. Constructive impatience builds a case for carefully crafted actions that elicit collaboration and cooperation rather than anger. Constructive Patience Elicits Collaboration.

So, last night I had the idea to coach my son using the same three-step method I tell my clients to use when they have to help an employee through a problem or to give someone constructive feedback. Most managers don’t give employees the constructive feedback they need to develop and grow. We never want to admit it, but some managers want to be “friends” with their employees, and this “friendship” keeps them from the giving the constructive feedback their employees need.

For new construction this entails a properly designed and installed system. The mission of HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) providers is to keep people comfortable in their homes and at work. This means air-conditioning when it’s hot outside, heat when it’s cold, and proper ventilation throughout the year. For existing buildings, it also includes regular preventive maintenance.

The general idea is that positive feedback builds momentum toward positive performance. If positive feedback is all an agent or team hears, though, you can expect diminishing returns.

But, what is the methodology used to construct the RFP recipient list? There are dozens of reasons why companies issue an RFP for call center services. Which vendors are on the list and why? Has the client narrowed the list by pre-screening vendors? Or, is the RFP issuer simply casting a wide net to a multitude of suppliers?

However, most call center managers only provide feedback from their own point of view, meaning that the constructive criticism that their staff receives is purely from the standpoint of improving within the ranks of the business itself. When it comes to giving your call center agents room to grow and improve in their position, one of the best ways to do so is to offer opportunities for feedback.
