Weekly RCAW Connect - December 1, 2021
 
Join Heidi J. Ellsworth for a Coffee Conversations that hits the heart of the roofing industry: giving back through roofing foundations. Sponsored by ABC Supply, Trent Cotney and foundation representatives including Dave Lawlor, President of the Roofing Alliance; Chuck Chapman, Chairman of Davis Memorial Foundation; Les Sims with the FRSA Educational & Research Foundation and George Patterson of the Chicago CRCA Foundation will be our guests. In this installment of Coffee Conversations, Heidi and the panelists talk about the importance of giving back through foundation gifts that help with scholarships, research and education and how it is one of the best ways to help attract the next generation to roofing. On December 2, 2021 for the whole day of the Coffee Conversations, Cotney Attorneys & Consultants will be matching donations made to these four roofing foundations up to $2,500 per foundation. Trent and guests will share how important it is to give back to our industry in order to recruit the next generation of roofing while helping current roofing professionals and companies grow professionally. Learn more about each of the charitable programs during this unique and exciting Coffee Conversations! Be sure to attend and donate on December 2, 2021.

The New Year Is Right Around the Corner
Make It Your Resolution to Do These 5 Things
 
1 – You Can’t Monitor What You Can’t Measure
Make it your year to review all the business services you use and do a deep dive to see if you are leaving money on the table which would impact your overall margins.

2 – Step Out of Your Comfort Zone… Change Is a Good Thing
Little changes can add up to big changes in your bank account or your time savings annually. Just think about how much you are spending on credit card processing, payroll processing, or even office supplies and ask yourself if you could be doing better.

3 – Build A Happier and Healthier Workforce
Staff who feel informed, connected, and valued are more productive, are retained longer. Many of our programs are geared to help you manage your business more effectively so you can spend more time focusing on the wellbeing of your most valuable assets, your people.
 
4 – Small Improvements Can Make Profound Differences
A great first step is contacting your Savings Consultant and make a no obligation appointment to learn more about how we can help save you thousands on everything from fuel expenses to office supplies.

5 – Work on Your Business and Not in Your Business
Make the commitment to turn to a trusted partner. Our team has the sole purpose of saving your business money by leveraging the tools you use every day to run your business.
