  Your JobTread Needs an Owner with Phillip Sessions of Refined VA

  Aug 7, 202656 min

  The deck builders who are growing right now have two things running: a front-end sales system that automates follow-up and keeps the pipeline full, and JobTread managing every job on the back end. Most builders have one or neither — and the gap between those two things is costing them more than they realize.April sits down with Philip Sessions of Refined VA, the company that implements JobTread for deck builders, trains the team by role, and places construction-trained coordinators to run the system daily so the builder stops being the bottleneck.In this episode:• Why most builders fail at JobTread and what an ownership problem actually costs• What a proper implementation covers, from cost catalog to change orders to job costing to client portal• How JobTread and your front-end sales system work together to give you real visibility from first lead to final paymentNew to JobTread?
