Are you an intentional property restoration team leader and you want to shorten your DANG learning curve for developing your team as intentional restorers?

We are sharing THE CHART of The DYOJO Way​ for developing intentional restorers within your own team and organization. 

Career development in property restoration, as in most of the skilled trades, will require you to develop the right mindset and habits in customer service. We will address two key components of customer service in this article, communication and cleanliness. 
 
  • If you want to develop your career, you have to be intentional in your personal development. 
  • If you want to attract, develop, and retain good talent for your organization, you have to be intentional in your team’s professional development. 
  • If you want to be an intentional restorer, you must make a constant commitment to develop your mindset and your habits.

Training is key to personal and professional development

THE CHART of The DYOJO Way will help you achieve your personal and team goals:
​
  • Whatever you do, do it intentionally. 
  • Life is about opportunity, not convenience. Keep your eyes open and volunteer for the assignments that nobody wants so that you can accelerate you access to learning. 
  • As you give, don't be afraid to ask. If you follow the advice above, at some point your willingness to help should be noted as a commitment to growth and be reciprocated by your employer. 
  • Be F-A-T: Faithful, Available, and Teachable. We talk about this principle in my book Be Intentional: Culture.
  • Documentation is key. In property restoration we don't get paid for what we do but for what we document. We discuss this in my book, Be Intentional: Estimating.
  • For many companies in the property restoration industry, Xactimate is a key resource for how estimates are composed and can be utilized to generate workflows for the production team. Learn to use this tool.
