Boone's company also faces the same challenges many other contractors face - a shortage of qualified help and an inadequate business plan. He recently contacted The News requesting information from a previously published article, and in the process he revealed a little bit about his background and outlined some of the goals he would like his business to achieve. What he didn't know was he would soon have the help of some of the trade's best-known business consultants to help coach him.
This article can be considered the "before" segment of a "before and after" scenario. Boone has agreed to trust some qualified industry experts to chart a course for his business and, in the process, he will take himself out of the field and move into the office, where he can begin implementing a plan to achieve solid growth. Boone hopes that his business can serve as a model that can be copied by other businesses in the same situation.
