Dean Logan

Controlling your labor costs should be one of the top goals of running a profitable business. For most of us, Labor is our #1 job cost and the one variable that can take a profitable job and turn it into a loser. In today’s interview with Dean Logan, you will learn how, by using electronic timekeeping, you can be sure that you’re paying for the “true” time worked on the job. Dean formerly ran his family roofing business and developed a time keeping an app that saved his company over $100,000 in labor cost the first year. His app was so successful that he formed Labor Sync and has taken his program to the public. Listen in and find out what it’s all about and if it is right for you.
