Listen to Bob’s other episodes https://remarkableresults.biz/?s=%22bob+cooper%22 (HERE) Key Talking Points “No one works for me, they work with me” Shortage of technicians is a blessing, scarcity creates opportunity. Attract superstars and keep them.  Retention, recruiting (24/7), apprenticeship programs Looking at other successful industries and how to you mimic it? Money is not the best motivator- you’ll never give your employees enough, think beyond dollars and cents Behavior that’s rewarded will continue, random rewards bring consistent behavior Hiring the right people- hire for what they know (skill), fire for who they are as a person #1 Competitive Base Pay (base income, uniforms, training, vacations, paid holidays, etc.) #2 Opportunistic income (Productivity pay) #3 Exemplary Performance Rewards (Going above and beyond their job responsibilities both at work and in their personal life) #4 Security- when you hire Larry, you are also hiring Mary (Health Insurance,401K, business cards, etc.) #5 Reward for Tenure (not loyalty, loyalty is your spirituality, nationality etc. Calling your employees and customers loyal is being assumptive)- (Anniversary rewards, Retirement programs, vacation packages, becoming involved with the integration decision making of business  etc.) #6 Leadership (provided by the owner)- are you just default providing (I’m the boss)? Do you have a vision for the future and are focused on goals with growth opportunities? Growing on a lattice, not a ladder.
