Edgevanta Weekly ๐Ÿš€ ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ 2.9.24 - Bad ๐Ÿ›‘ Bids | Banks Social ๐Ÿคณ๐Ÿผ | So Sensitive | NAPA 24

Your essential guide to dominating the construction bidding and building world with the latest tech, market trends, and wisdom.

Preventing a bad bid

DIR (Doing It Right): Banks Social Media

Snapshot:

  • Banks Construction has some of the best social media posts in the road construction industry. Their videos are often funny, mostly focus on people, and have tunes ๐ŸŽต.

  • Ask yourself: If I were working on a paving job at night and saw this video, wouldnโ€™t it make me feel a bit more proud to go the work?

  • Think about it: If I were considering working in construction and saw a cool video and compared to a contractor with no social media presence, where would I be more likely to apply?

  • Kudos, team Banks!

What if you could see every low bid in the company and how much money you could have added and still won? ๐Ÿคฉ

Snapshot:

  • Our team built a tool that enables customers to analyze past low bid spreads, missed opportunities and trends.

  • TONS of customer feedback already, check it out below!

NAPA Annual Recap

Snapshot:

  • We enjoyed seeing many of you readers at the NAPA Annual Meeting in Orlando!

My co-founder Matt and our Chief Sales Officer Alfredo attended their first annual and see firsthand why great people make the asphalt industry so special.

Incoming Chairman Brady Meldrem stole the show with his inspiring story about his humble beginnings. From bartender to truck driver to company Presidentโ€ฆ the American ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Dream!

Stoic Wisdom Quote

โ€œEvery second you have on this planet is very precious, and itโ€™s your responsibility to make sure youโ€™re happy and interpreting everything in the best possible wayโ€ - Naval Ravikant

Reflect on this as we embark on another week of bidding and building!
