Many owners do not face a work problem; they face a flow problem. Work gets sold, but something slips between the contract, office, scheduling, production, and invoicing stages. This workshop demonstrates how to map the journey from sale to invoice, ensuring work moves smoothly, handoffs improve, and profit leaks are identified. It focuses on the typical contract-to-work-order-to-invoicing workflow you already use in your system.Presented by SCORE and Dominic A. Chiarella, entrepreneur, systems expert, author, and business mentor who has built, managed, and sold four multimillion-dollar companies over forty years.Registration required.
