lately, considering all the changes because of platforms, etc. I recently have been dealing with one of those "home warranty cos." & how they operate. Their chosen "contractors" are inferior grade cos. willing to take the low fees they're willing to pay. IMO too much of American business is going to this kind of operation. Our business is no exception. It's becoming about automatic & electronic emails & texts, offering lower & lower fees with higher & higher demands. After building my business for many years, it's harder for me to maintain good cos. to work with. The whole situation is very sad. I get that it helps the cos. with scheduling issues, and eliminates the need for phone schedulers (which I still prefer). If they're saving money by doing that, why are they also trying to undermine our role in the process. Just venting here, and concerned with what's happening to business in America. |
