Orlando
On March 19, Biz
Builder Services will be
in Orlando, Florida to give cleaners “The ABC’s of
Managing.”
The program will be presented at the
Holiday Inn Select from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. It is designed to
help owners who want to make more money in the drycleaning
industry by working smarter, not harder.
Those who attend will learn the answers
to questions such as: should you manage people with your head
or your heart and how can you lower labor costs?
In addition to gaining a better
understanding on how to establish production standards,
cleaners will learn how to improve quality and implement
incentive programs.
Pricing for profit will be taught, as
well, with an emphasis on calculating the right cost per piece.
Personnel issues will also be on the
agenda, so managers/owners can gain tips on how to manage their
employees better, making sure they keep their good employees
and improve their overall communications.
The cost to attend is $349 for a single
applicant; however, the price goes down to $299 for each
additional applicant from the same plant. That cost includes
