Today on our special Christmas episode of the Blue Collar Proud Show, we talk about the true meaning of leadership–the most important gift leaders can give their team is teaching them how to lead.

People Skills for Technicians | BCP-154
Tech Focused People Skills Today on the BCP Show we talk to Brandi Biswell about training your technicians to develop better people skills. Having your techs learn from day one is a must. If you let your new hires work along side the employees with the best people skills, it can help them adapt to a more personal style suitable for a service business. Another training technique includes roleplaying, so that your technicians can simulate real life person-to-person situations.

Customer Reviews
Love It!
Awesome job! Just found you guys and it is exactly what I was looking for. Ive been turning you on every morning on the way to work for a few weeks now. You guys help give me the confidence and motivation to keep me going while I try and get my mobile welding business up and running. I love the fact that I’m constantly reminded from you and the people you interview that I don’t have to be “perfect” to start and that it just takes discipline, consistency and action. Thank you guys!
Starting, failing, or going good this covers it all!
You own a service business you must listen. I’ve spent the last couple of years tearing into every business book I can get my hands on, which has helped me grow in amazing ways. A few weeks ago I started listening to this Podcast and in those weeks these guys and their guest have summed up the last year or two of what I read in those books! Keep up the great work guys, you’ve definitely changed the way I run my business!
Sage Advice from guys who have been there & Done That
If you own and operate a blue collar business and are looking for ways to grow your organization, you've looking in the right place! I've been a long time listener of this podcast and can say it is one of the best ones I've found that caters to us, the guys in the trucks and trenches sweating to make it happen. The biggest takeaway is that you, the owner, must be willing to pay the price to grow and develop yourself before you can expect your business to grown in any sustainable manner. The Blue Collar Proud Podcast is "Class in session on-the-go for me". Keep up the great work Carter Taylor!
