Back story and hopes.
Hey guys. Little bit about me. Teeny tiny electrical contractor in Delaware. Literally just me, part time right now. I work full time at the utility as a relay tech. Got my masters license last year in April. So I’ve been doing it on the side. Business wise everything is legit, and all the costs are real. Looking to get guys working for me and run the van during the day while I’m here. Right now the hang up is finding a journey (someone I don’t have to hand hold) and finding enough work for a guy 40 hrs a week long term. Not sure how to make the jump.

I worked on the side until I was doing annual profit equal to what I need to live on. Then I made the jump and worked by myself for a year. Then hired one apprentice. 6 months later hired a guy at my skill level who executes the day to day jobs.
I'm Back!
Sorry for going AWOL - I should be back full swing going forward though!

This is good. Requiring people to pay will select for more business owners which is what I'm most interested in learning about.

Commercial Work
Software
Every time I try to look at reviews of software, I'm just being marketed to. Difficult to get good data about which CRMs and apps work well. What apps or CRMs do you use for your business? Especially free apps that work well for communication with the crew, sharing docs and drawings, daily logs, etc.

@Tod Craig we do commercial and industrial and it's both new construction and service. I have built my own tools using Monday.com for project management, field coordination and information sharing, scheduling, cost tracking and projection, timekeeping, rate calculation, and I'm about to create another for sales. It works well but it takes time to build the product to suit your needs.
