Has everyone in your office hopped in a van with a tech?

If not, they should.

Without seeing first hand what they go through, everyone’s work suffers.

Since implementing ride-alongs, Vanessa Gonzales, Chief Administrative Officer at Albuquerque Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, has seen everyone — in the office and field — get better at their jobs.

I caught up with her in today’s show to pick her brain about what she’s learned in her many years of experience owning a business in the trades.

We covered a lot of ground, including:

-The trick to running a business with your spouse (and his old roommate)

-Why ride-alongs are so effective

-How to be a coworker to your employees (until they force you to be the boss)
