business and overcome these tough labor shortage challenges.

Topics covered:

So what is on today’s agenda? Uh, gonna be going over the current state of the
labor market, basically, what’s going on today’s world, how, uh, that affects us
and contractors like yourself. Um, advice from experts on how to your business
can stay protected and then gonna be going over some questions, some real
examples, uh, from specialty contractors like yourself. So there will be some
participation involved. Uh, so don’t hesitate to ask questions and, uh, yeah,
let us know how you’re feeling. So what is going on? Uh, according to the ABC
are associated builders and contractors, uh, construction industry faces a
workforce shortage of 650,000 people in 2022. How did we get to that number? So
one of the reasons being that the currently signed, uh, bipartisan
infrastructure law, uh, is supposed to be adding anywhere from 300,000 to
600,000 new workers entering the industry yearly based on that law alone, but
that barely covers the deficit and it doesn’t account for the surplus, for the
potential recession. Things should be looking up. So average hour earnings for
construction, labor rose to a little bit over $32 in may. So large increase of
6.3 just from last year. Can somebody tell me, I guess this is the biggest
increase in how many years, if you guys can, can gimme a guess there, whether
that’s on the Q and a or in chat, what’s up, we got our chat working, so let’s
take a guess. How many years? All right. Several decades, like it
Care. You wanna put the answer up there. Welcome for Richmond, Indiana. Several
decades is correct. This is the highest year over year industry wage gain in 40
years, 40 decades. So there we go. So, uh, the workforce shortage is still the
most acute challenge facing the construction industry. What does that mean for
you guys again, posting the chat wherever you can. How is the workforce shortage
affecting you specifically Jennifer? Yep.
And that’s actually a lot of what, uh, the conversations we have with people is
what does this mean for you? Are there enough people to hire in today’s
industry? We’re supposed to be getting an influx of positions, but are they, are
you get, are you getting the right people, uh, for the job? A lot of the times
in today’s labor shortage, there’s people willing to work, but people who don’t
know exactly what they’re doing within that job, especially around the
contractors and the construction industry. So next step is if they are a skilled
worker, uh, and they are good enough to do the job. What does that look like
from them from a payment perspective, from a labor perspective, we just
mentioned salaries have increased substantially and that’s from an introductory
standpoint. So are you able to keep a good actual, uh, labor force with what’s
going on?
And also what’s the turnover there. People come into the industry, we have
people who are willing to work, but again, not skilled enough for the job or you
have people who are skilled enough for the job, but is it competitive enough,
competitive enough from where they’re at, where they’re being hired with you, or
are they having to look somewhere elsewhere? So the construction, labor shortage
and escalating inflation are causing stress, uh, and working capital
difficulties for contractors. Many factors contribute to this labor deficit,
including the lack of training programs that we just mentioned with unskilled
workers, um, for specialized trades. And ultimately we’re just having an aging
workforce.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, I, that, that reminds me of a conversation that we had with, uh, one of
our customers last week, where they were talking about, um, specifically, uh,
not being able to hire people who can do the job as well as he can. And, uh,
that it was so hard to find the right skilled workers right now. So it’s not
just that, you know, uh, the wages are rising or the, uh, there’s not people out
there, or the people that they are finding are not, not trained in the way that
he needs them to be trained, to do the job the right way. So, uh, so it’s
stretching him pretty thin and he’s looking for anything, any help anywhere to
just like help get him to the next stage and help make sure he can take care of
the projects then he needs to take care of. So, so yeah, you, you’re definitely
speaking to all of that and it, it ranges true for many people, uh, in some of
our own customers as well. So

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Absolutely. So Ray, I’ll let you take over from here for a moment.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah. And, you know, um, specifically this, it’s kind of like this, uh, weird
vicious cycle that, uh, you end up in as well. And we, we hear this all the
time. So, uh, there there’s stress and tension. It kind of starts there and it
ends there as well in all honesty. And it’s just a continuous cycle over and
over and over again, you, you end up with this financial stress, you end up with
this financial risk. You end up with this just like overwhelming tension on a
day to day basis. That, uh, from the lack of, you know, finding the right
employees and finding the right, uh, labor to help you on a day to day basis.
And, uh, even when you do find that labor, uh, sometimes they’re not the most
efficient and sometimes they’re not, uh, taking care of the jobs. So be speaking
specifically to that last customer that, uh, I was talking about, like having,
uh, people come into help, but them not actually making the job more efficient
for ’em.
So it was kind of a waste of wages at that point and making sure that he’s not,
uh, being able to like take care of what he needs to. So it was easier for him
to just show, do it himself, even though it stretched him so thin and not having
that efficiency on a regular basis to, to make sure whether it be from managing
the amount of projects he wants to manage, or just from the Asheville workers
that he is trying to hire and bring in not having the ability to do that leads
to more stress. It leads to more increased financial risk as well, whether
you’re paying people who can’t do the job for you, that’s increased financial
risk. If you’re not paying people and you’re having to turn down jobs, that’s
the financial risk. It’s kind just this weird lack of a better term vicious
cycle that you just find yourself stuck in and can’t seem to get out of, because
it’s just an over and over again, rinse and repeat if like you’re trying to
fight your way out of it. You’re trying to do what you can, but, um, as you’re
going through, you just, you keep getting stuck along the way. Um, do you have
anything you wanna throw into that or

Speaker 1 (07:59):
No, that that’s one of the major conversations I have with people daily is
having to, I mean, if, if you look at our chat as well, getting these bids for
these jobs, and then trying to find a way to complete those while you have
another two, three more jobs that you’re already on. So just keeping the wheel
turning while facing all these challenges. It’s, it’s stressful to say the
least,

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, it’s just a continuous kind of cash flow. It, it leads to a continuous
cashflow issue, really because you’re, you’re trying to combat these labor
shortages. You’re throwing people at it. Uh, and then if you’re not throwing
people at it, you’re stretching yourself too thin. And you’re just either way
you looking at it, you’re looking at a cash flow of shortage on your day to day
basis of what you’re trying to achieve or what you’re trying to take care of in
your business. And I, I know like you wanna offer competitive salaries and you
wanna maintain your payroll. And you’re, you’re just looking for ways to do that
on a regular basis. And this, this, this one just speaks to me. I, I, I even
asked Ivan yesterday. I was like, I wanna cover this one, cuz like, I just
really identify with this one. So, uh, so I appreciate him obliging to let me do
that because this, I feel very passionate about this one and uh, just, you know,
there’s so much overhead costs. There’s so many like things that you have to
take care of, like what can be the solution? What can you find that can actually
help that?

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah. And to Jennifer’s point, she says in the chat, I wish others weren’t
experiencing these things, but it’s interesting to see that it’s not just our
company from what we’ve heard and what we’ve seen working in this industry on,
on our side, this is one of those things that is, um, well, it’s how it’s always
been. And, and oftentimes people don’t question it. It’s just, well, it says how
it’s always been. So it’s how it’s gotta be. But we know that that is not the
case. Yes. That’s how it’s always been. No, it is not how it has to be. And I
think that that conversation can really, um, disrupt this vicious cycle that we
see and you know, in the chat like, yes, absolutely. Jennifer, Heather, like you
are in the thick of it. And, and Paul from earlier, like you were also in the
thick of it. And I think that, um, sorry guys, I got excited. And I think that
when we, when we decide that we’re not going to be part of that vicious cycle
continually, um, it, it can really change the entire industry. And I know I’m
dreaming big here, but that’s where my heart goes and I get passionate about it
too. So it’s had to, had to insert that.
All right, we ready? We ready to move on?

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Absolutely. Let’s

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Do it. Yup.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
All right. So we’ve tackled the problem. I’ve been, where are you taking this
next?

Speaker 1 (10:38):
So we’re gonna discuss, what can you do about this vicious cycle that we’ve been
talking about? So increase your financial flexibility. How do you do that? Going
through the list, lowering out of pocket expenses, offset costs like your
materials, increase your margins, protect your lie rights. And I’m gonna start
on the lean rights section. So if you’re not getting paid, you can’t pay your
people. You can’t take on additional jobs. That’s where protecting your lean
rights. Come in, making sure that you are, have the correct lean rights on that
job, because everybody knows, even though you may have had a great relationship
or whoever you’re working with, things have been smooth. It just takes one job
to throw everything out of alignment and just give you that headache, that
tension that we’ve been discussing, all it takes is one. So after that lowering
out of pocket expenses, how many people proactively track their materials?
Give some feedback there, whether it’s checking in with big box stores, checking
in with your local suppliers, trying to do the entire bounce back of, okay,
well, I’ve been working with our local vendor for 10 plus years, but this big
box store has the lumber for half of the price. How often are you going back and
forth and having to mitigate that, not to mention, are you checking in to see
what kind of, you know, discounts you can get with your suppliers? So there’s
only so much you can do there and not to mention the amount of time that you’re
spending there. So after that, are you financing your materials? Are you helping
not well, are you basically helping yourself not play bank? Cause at the end of
the day, that’s what you’re doing. You’re having to, she up money for all these
materials costs, which could be tied up in a project, hopefully for what that
project timeframe is for. But again, it just takes that one little hiccup to now
be out 10 50, however, you know, thousands of dollars you have in materials. So
materials financing is one of the answers that we provide to make sure that your
cash flow stays open. So you can continue to run your business as smoothly as
possible.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
And in fact,

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Go ahead. Sorry.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
I know you had mentioned, uh, you know, discounts and things like that, uh,
specifically supplier discounts and, um, I, I, you brought up finance materials
right after that. I, uh, I’m just trying to draw attention to that. Like by
being, by becoming detached buyer, essentially fi finance materials paying on
day one, a lot of times that can help, um, get you a discount. It can also bump
you up in priority. We haven’t discussed it yet, but lead times, uh, lead times
are a real thing and they’ve created major cash crunch, uh, and become a part of
that vicious cycle in a lot of ways as well. I know it’s an indirect part of the
vicious cycle, but it’s, it’s a part of it. And so becoming a cash buyer and
becoming somebody who pays on day one open shift to those discounts and lowers
those outof pocket expenses. So just wanted to draw that connection. Sorry.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Absolutely. And to Heather’s example, yeah. Materials costs have increased
significantly. Um, they’re supposed to be slowing down, but we haven’t seen it.
Um, there’s always a longer and longer lead time to just trying to get a simple
project done. So that’s right. Lead times affect the cost increasing it monthly.
So it’s, it sounds like, uh, the people involved here, you guys are, are boots
on the ground. You guys are facing this upfront day to day. So, um, again, going
back to materials, financing real quick, um, some of our Savi users basically
uses to offset their cost, um, by passing their cost, if possible, to whoever
they’re working with. So whatever that pricing is going to be, it’s passed off.
And it’s one less thing you have to worry about ultimately increasing your
margins. So you’re able to make, you’re able to take on more jobs, grow your
business, and really just be a more reliable contractor business, both for
whoever you’re working with. So, um, three hour conversation in the client’s
kitchen. Yeah. <laugh> so, um, but yeah, this is, this is kind of how we address
some of these situations, these headaches that, uh, again, both yourselves and a
lot of people here in the us are, are facing. So

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah, and it looks like, um, from one Jennifer to another, we have a question
saying, how does that affect your customer relationship when asking for material
costs upfront? Um, what I’m reading a lot in the chat here is that this idea
that upfront material costs are strapping people for cash flow. And if we’re
talking about, you know, passing those off to the consumer or, um, you know,
having that money tied up and not being able to pay for labor is obviously
adding to this labor shortage. And, um, Jennifer Jess was able to respond. She
says, leave it up to the client, but some of them are happy to pay now so that
they aren’t subject to potential increases. I think that’s a fantastic way to
look at it. And Jennifer, it seems like you have a lot of knowledge and I’m so
grateful that you’re bringing it to our chat.
Thank you so much. This is one of the best parts of these webinars and doing
these things is, like I said to Paul, we are all in this together and we’re in
such good company to be able to share these experiences with each other, um, and
be able to build each other up and, and, you know, help and, and help each
other. This chat is blowing up. It’s a little distracting, um, Ivan rain. I’m
gonna hand it back over to you so I can monitor this chat, but thank you to
everyone. Who’s, who’s um, bringing questions in this is such an incredible
conversation.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Yeah. And, you know, just specifically referencing the chat, like, uh, what
you’re speaking of and what, what I’m seeing in here a lot is, uh, something
that really does relate to our materials financing product in general. Uh, not,
not that, that was my intention to come in here and really talk about it in
depth like that. But, uh, but it does like, uh, you know, we, we can work with
contractors to make sure that we are, um, you know, being able to buy materials
upfront, lock in the price, make sure that everything’s good, become a cash
buyer, secure those discounts, make sure that everything’s locked in, ready to
go. Uh, you know, you speak to your, your client and asking them to, to pay, uh,
upfront so that you can walk in, uh, those costs as well. Like that that’s
something that we can enable you to do upfront, and you can still work with your
client to do that.
And it just increases your cash flow in your day to day, which in turn, uh,
enables you to be able to pay, uh, better labor costs or higher, higher wages to
secure the types of people that you want to come into your business and be
there, or to give raises to the people that you want to keep and protect from
leaving. We haven’t really discussed the great recession or anything like that
here, but people are leaving businesses all the time and, uh, just for whatever
they see as a better opportunity for themselves. And so, uh, as much as it is
like finding the right people from a labor shorter standpoint, it’s also
protecting the people that you care for and love, and that you have in your
business every single day and making sure you’re paying them and taking care of
them properly as well. So, uh, just, I, I love all this chat like this, uh, one
of the most active, like best chats that like we’ve seen, uh, on one of these,
and so, or least that I’ve been a part of. So I’m, I’m loving this chat. This is
great. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Yeah. So I wanted to give, um, an opportunity for anyone to ask questions about,
you know, any of the line items here. Um, before we move on, it looks like Joe
is saying locking in the cost is less important in today’s market than locking
in a delivery date. Yep. Products and equipment, Joe, we completely agree. I
think that these things run parallel, but in the current state of how things are
with, um, shipping delays and lead times, it is really like the wild west out
there.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
And we have found that whenever you are able to pay up front and secure those
materials, uh, right off the bat, that, uh, for, for lack of a better term, you
move up the list in terms of the delivery. If you’ve already been paid, like
you’ve already paid for your materials and, uh, secure them, you end up being
higher up on that delivery, uh, list, uh, to make sure that you’re getting the
earliest delivery date as well. Um, and that, that’s something that we’ve been
seeing, uh, internally here as we’re working with suppliers and making sure
they’re getting paid and, uh, uh, for customers that we’re working with. And,
uh, it, it is. So they kind of do go hand in hand in some ways, but, uh, and
securing those materials, locking them in and then making sure that you’re
moving up that list. So.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Awesome. Okay. Well, um, I think we’re going to find some resources. Jen is
asking Jennifer. I apologize. One of my dear friends is Jen, Jennifer. Um, you
haven’t seen any opportunity to control delivery times, any ideas we’re gonna
send a resource your way, um, in the chat here in a little bit, we’ll also
attach it to the email that’s going out. I forgot to mention this at the
beginning, but we will send this recording as well as other resources and assets
for you to use. Um, when we’re talking about delivery times and lead times, as
well as materials, financing, protecting your lean rights, it can feel like a
lot. Um, but we’ve got some really great easily digestible resources for you
that you can put into action as early as tomorrow. Um, and so if they’re, you’re
so welcome, if there are any questions about what is currently on the screen,
um, definitely throw them into the chat right now. We’re gonna have a questions
portion in just a minute. I know that sometimes webinars like this can feel
ambiguous. It’s like, okay, well, you’re talking about these big things, but you
know, how, how do you actually put it into action? And I believe our next slide
is going to show us that.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yeah. Uh, so we actually, uh, have partnered with IPO about some of our
customers earlier. Uh, this one, I will put their name on record as well. So,
uh, speaking of Poto business solutions, uh, PBS millwork down in south Florida
in the Miami Fort Lauderdale area, um, I’ll read the quote first. I’ll tell you
a little bit about, uh, the story. So, uh, our employees are very happy because
they see, I put every penny I gain backed into growing this business. It’s
wonderful because now that I have levels set to finance my materials I’m secure.
Uh, so Albert said that, uh, we have a full case study, uh, that we did on the
business so that we looked at, uh, and one, one it’s, uh, one thing I wanna draw
attention to is we, we actually, uh, started working with them, uh, in 2021,
early 20, 21.
And since working with ’em, uh, I think the stat is the first quarter of this
year. We did, they did 3 million, um, in, uh, business and the, just the first
quarter of this year. And that was like a 300% increase over what they did in
2019. Uh, I am quoting those numbers off the top of my head, but I do think that
those are the correct numbers from the case study as well. Uh, but, uh,
Alberta’s been, uh, uh, an amazing, uh, partner with us. And one thing that he’s
always preached is being able to use materials, financing to give back to his
employees and his team that he hires and he works with. And, uh, he, he pays
them, um, the most competitive wages in south Florida. Uh, and he’s very, very
proud of that. Very excited for that. And as he should be, he not only does
great business, but he also takes care of his employees in the process.
He even, um, I always think, always find this very cool. Uh, but he, in, in the
warehouse even built like a full like entertainment area and bar for all the
employees to kind of hang out together at. So, uh, they’re a family, he treats
them like they’re a family, they work together. Uh, but he’s bringing in the
best people that he can, he takes care of the people, uh, that he already has
hired. And he really does that by utilizing the materials, financ financing, the
option to keep his day to day cashflow moving and secure in the way that he
wants. And, uh, he he’s able to direct the funds directly to his labor directly
to his people and make sure I provide him for them in care of them as well. So I
didn’t miss there. I, I think, uh, I think I covered that, but, uh, but yeah,
he’s, he’s, they’re, they’re really amazing. Um, and yeah, just taking care of
your people is, is really the key for sure.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yeah, absolutely. And, um, just to answer one more question in the chat, Kay
asked, um, how to obtain a recording of this session after the, after this
session is over, um, we will send this video into our wonderful editing team and
they will package it together so beautifully. We will send an email out with
this recording, as well as all of the promised assets and resources, um, for you
directly to your inbox, it is completely free. You can share it, you can watch
as many times as you want. Um, there are no rules, it is yours for the keeping.
Um, and we’re just so I’m just so grateful that we had such a good conversation.
You guys, this was really, um, an impactful moment. Yes, you are so welcome. Um,
okay, great. Well, does anyone have any questions up to this point?

Speaker 2 (23:53):
And, and as you’re thinking of your questions, know that like, uh, we are kind
of approaching at this from like a high level standpoint. We are happy to get
more granular. We’re happy to dive in deeper, uh, with you as well. And, uh,
reaching out to myself or Ivan, uh, especially after this, uh, webinar post,
after we send out that nice email with all the resources that are attached to
that, and that, uh, definitely reach out to us and we will, we’ll get more into
the details, go into that together. Uh, I always feel like we did at the end of
these 30 minutes and I’m like, oh, I wish I had an hour, but, uh, cuz it would
be amazing to dive even deeper, but uh, very happy to do that in visually with
every single one of you and go into, you know, what we can find to help you and
your business succeed. So

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Yeah, it looks like we do have make sure I’m not on mute. Looks like we do have
one, um, question in the chat, Ivan or rain, I’ll read it aloud and then I’ll
let you guys, um, give some answers and, or we can link out to some resources as
well. Uh, Jennifer asks in today’s labor shortage. How does a company overcome
issues with employees who may be costing you more money than they seem to be
worth? That’s a tricky one.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
It’s a very good question. Um, well that kind of goes back to, I guess, how
skilled of a laborer are they that you’re having to use with them again, I know
terrain’s point earlier was, Hey, you’re kind of throwing people at a job and
how useful are they on that job? Are you able to open up cash flow different
ways? Are they absolutely necessary from what you’re describing? It sounds like
they may not be the most essential employee, but that doesn’t mean you don’t
need them. So I mean, at that point it’s, it’s figuring out ways to really open
up your cash flow and kind of moving forward from that aspect of it. But again,
that, that is a very tricky question because it’s kind of seems like you may be
stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to that portion of it.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Yeah. And it’s really just trying to find out whether you can, the, the best
place for them to increase their value for you. And if they can be trained, if
they can be taught the things that they need to know, uh, to be useful for you
and not be trusting you more money than they seem to be worth. I think that
that’s kind of a, that’s obviously a delicate situation, uh, to come across and
to deal with. It also seems like you may have a resource in the chat that would
love to share, uh, in Paul, uh, to talk about that. Uh I’m I think that that’s
what his, uh, connect and chat was referencing. So he may have some good ideas
as well, but, uh, but I, I think as long as, you know, like, and you can find
out whether, um, find out if they’re worth and see what it means to you and your
business. And, uh, sometimes that involves hard decisions, hopefully it doesn’t,
and hopefully it’s that you can coach them and get them to this point where they
can be useful for your business. But, uh, I know that there can be hard
decisions that, uh, come into play with that as well. So

Speaker 3 (27:03):
Yeah, absolutely. This is amazing. Um, and I’m also going to add another
resource here. Uh, oops. Ice it in the chat a little too quick. Here’s the link.
I’ll just explain it. Basically. We also have a community, this is a completely
free service. There are zero strings attached. This is, um, from one of our core
values, which is help first. And we wanted to create a community where any
contractor, any front of house, any back of house, any laborer, anyone could
come on and ask a question and receive advice from, um, a credit professional
legal help, um, a payment professional. Anyone could come on and answer your
question. Um, and you have access to hundreds of thousands of questions already
asked. Definitely check that out as well as I love that we just watched
networking happen right before our eyes. This is so incredible. This is why
we’re here.
Um, thank you everyone so much for coming. I just can’t say it enough, but I
digress. Um, the last thing that we wanted to share was, um, I know that we
talked a little bit about materials financing. We talked a little bit about lean
rights, talked a little bit about our community profile, where you can go on and
see the resources. Um, here is a QR code. If you’ve never seen one of these, you
just take out your phone and scan it. Although now post, um, pandemic world,
we’ve probably all done it at one restaurant or another. Um, this basically just
takes you to a page to, to learn a little bit more about materials financing. If
you are interested, we’re running a promotion where there’s a 0% origination fee
attached to your first project. Um, again, we all know that the labor shortage
also boils down to a cash flow issue.
There may not necessarily be a lack of labor, but there is a lack of ability to
pay for the right labor at the right time and retain them. That is one piece
that we can help you with while we can’t help you have boots on the ground and
go to find the right people. Um, we can certainly help you boost your cash flow
so that you can pay those right people and retain them. I cannot say thank you
enough. Thank you everyone for joining us. Any lingering questions, everybody.
Okay. Awesome. Well, we made it in time. We one minute over. I hope everyone
enjoys the rest of their afternoon. I will kick it over to Ivan and rain for
final goodbyes. Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yep. Yeah. I just wanna say thank you all again. Uh, this is amazing. Uh, I love
seeing the chat, uh, be so connecting again. Uh, yeah, I know Kara, I brought it
up at the networking happening to Ivan in person. Absolutely love that this is
what these are for. This is what we’re trying to do, build a community where we
can help each other. And yeah. Uh, if you need me for anything you wanna talk,
uh, you wanna chat? I know Tara’s gonna send out that email. Uh, I think our
information will be attached to that as well. So, uh, Ivan to myself. So, but
it, it was wonderful talking to y’all thank y’all for being here and, uh, happy
to help with anything else that you may have questions about. So

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Absolutely I will echo rain, uh, everything you said and then some, but again,
we’re here to be as a resource questions. Coms concerns send it our way. We’re
more than happy to help in any way available. So thank you guys again.
