OVERVIEW

In industries where clients are wanting to receive more value for lower costs, a lot of project requirements are being bid with little margin or contingency, let alone profit. This is compounded when clients make requests for changes after the work is awarded. The good news is that simple attitude changes can allow companies to manage these expectations in a productive, and sometimes even profitable way.

This webinar will help participants examine issues on the project from multiple viewpoints. While a General Contractor certainly has one perspective on the project, so too do the Owner, Architect/Engineer, Subcontractors, and other Stakeholders. By learning to present issues in the right framework we decrease adversarial behaviors on the project and increase the likelihood that our proposals for additional work will be accepted.

Participants will also learn to negotiate better terms and conditions before contracts are awarded. The clients have a belief that everything is free on bid day, but there are ways that Contractors can push back and still get the work.

Just like change orders can be issued after work is awarded to add project requirements, change orders can be used to lessen onerous project requirements as well. Many times this can be done without having to give back money.

If your clients are causing you to spend a lot of time on efforts that are not implemented, and worse not paid for, then you need this webinar to learn how to minimize those occurrences.

This webinar is about managing relationships in a positive way to get what you need. It is also about learning the right ways to add value that will have a positive impact on your client, and a positive impact on your cash flow. Many of these changes cost you nothing to provide, and some might even cost you less than what you currently do.

Satisfied clients are more likely to hire you again through negotiated contracts that allow you to command a higher fee and lower risk. Satisfied clients are also more likely to refer you to other owners where you can still negotiate contracts rather than risk it all in low bid shoot-outs.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND

Are you bidding jobs with no margin just to keep staff employed? Are changes after award causing you to lose even more money? If your clients are fighting you at every turn, then you need to take this webinar.

Our clients can be our biggest adversary, or our greatest ally. Much of that depends on how well your Project Manager manages that relationship. It is not enough to simply be a Project Manager. We must become Project Leaders. Much of this transformation comes from the use of our attitude.

  1. attitudes are the most important tool in our toolbox. It costs us nothing to purchase, if we use it well it can gain us everything, and if we use it poorly it can cost us everything. How we use it is up to us. Participants will learn how to get the most from their project planning by focusing on key attitude changes.

These soft skills translate to hard dollars lost. Projects are not profitable when the Project Managers do battle daily with your clients. Projects are also not profitable when Project Mangers simply give away a lot of small changes for no consideration. There is a way to manage the relationship and the client so that everyone wins.
