What is Working For You?

This month’s roundtable discussion centered on what strategies and tools have been making a measurable difference in their businesses, both recently and over the past year. Host Rob Claus facilitated an inspector-driven conversation that highlighted the power of community knowledge-sharing.

  • Expanding Revenue Streams: One member shared how diversifying service offerings has opened a new path for business growth. By adding Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) to their service options, they have been able to attract new client types and capture opportunities that would have otherwise gone elsewhere.
  • Streamlining the Reporting Process: Centralizing report creation into a single, controlled workflow has dramatically reduced turnaround times for one member, cutting the reporting window from 10 to 15 days down to 5 to 7 days. The improvement has not only increased internal efficiency but has also boosted client satisfaction and generated more referral opportunities.
  • Leveraging CoStar More Effectively: A deeper dive into CoStar and its full range of offerings has been a game changer for one member. The platform has proven valuable across multiple areas of the business, including proposal creation, job research, marketing efforts, and identifying on-site contacts.
