Minimal Viable Coordination: How Small Improvements Unlock Big Results for Trades Businesses

Most contractors think they need a 10-person office to run a smooth operation. They don't.

The truth is you can run a highly organized field service business by focusing on minimal viable coordination. These are the smallest actions that create the biggest results.

• Answer Every Call Fast. Even if it’s just a live greeting and a callback later. Speed builds trust.

• Pre-Assign Service Areas. Assign techs to zones. Cuts down confusion and windshield time.

• Weekly Scheduling Huddle. 15 minutes every Monday to map the week with your team.
