Timothy did a great job of bringing the training we specifically needed to the field guys in ways they understood. Multiple "Oh" and "Ahaaa" moments during the day. The light bulbs really started working and just in the short time since his training we have Foreman, Lead Technicians, and Project Managers looking at their jobs from a completely new view point. Timothy's PROFIT FROM PRODUCTION is perfect.
I have seen Tim speak at many events in the past like JLC with great insight to how the production process works. It was time that the rest of our staff shared in his experience and knowledge.
Lead Source - from remodelers advantage
Tim Faller is a wealth of information, delivered from a perspective of someone who lives what they teach. Our field managers were excited to make changes after his visit, and all of them commented on the fact that this wasn't just "some consultant talking". To them, these were real-world suggestions that could be implemented without a lot of work. To the leadership team, it was great to have the opportunity to talk about field issues in a positive format that elevated the discussion in our company. Really a great 2 days!
