Toolbox for the Trades Episode 63: In a League of Their Own: Recruiting Women to the Trades
Play ball!
It’s a beautiful day for a podcast, folks. Today’s is shaping up to be a barnburner.
In this crackerjack episode, we break out the baseball wordplay as I chat with Margie Baker, Operations Manager at 1-Hour Heating, Ben Franklin Plumbing, and Mr. Sparky Electric, about how to attract more women and Gen Z/millennials to the trades.
The bases are loaded with topics such as:
- The advantages of a Gen Z/millennial lineup
- Scouting talent and training technicians in-house
- Tips for handling communication curveballs and pitching a perfect dispatch game
- Hitting triples in customer experience - a win for the customer, a win for the technician, and a win for the company
- Why sales will have a better batting average if they learn to embrace the silences
Extra innings (resources mentioned during the episode):
