Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Operating cranes with a capacity of 5 metric tons or more is fun.
It's actually pretty easy, but moving things in a straight line is tricky.
It really is all about the feel of the control stick, isn't it? lol
I'll be riding for 8 hours this week, so I have to master it by then.
Since it's a national certification, there's a written exam next year, but the written exam is easy enough to pass on the first try, just like getting a driver's license.
It's a regular driver's license, so it's actually pretty easy, isn't it?
It should be relatively easy to get one if you're in the construction industry.

But that's beside the point.
Where do you think work comes from?
Do you think you'd suddenly get a job offer from a company you've never heard of?
You don't really think an angel is going to bring it to you, do you? lol
At major companies, the salespeople's skills are also a key factor.
The same goes for the site supervisor's abilities.
But what is the root cause of this?
This is it.
Invisible TrustThat's it. This is what brings in the work.
It's a combination of my credibility as a salesperson and my credibility as a site supervisor.
But there's one more thing.
You could even say that without this, an individual’s credibility is completely useless.
That is,Company ReputationThat's it.
It's only because of this that we get work.
There's no doubt that major projects go to large, reputable companies.
Even if you make a mistake, you can recover from it. (This part is super important.)
Since he's a sales rep from XX Company, let's have him handle that job site this time.
I find myself thinking, “It would be awesome if Director XX could come.”
That will definitely happen.
(Internally, the site supervisor says, “That person’s sales portfolio doesn’t have any decent properties, does it?” (I used to think that too, lol.))
I end up managing the construction while grumbling under my breath, but I’ll go into more detail about that next time (lol).
Skilled salespeople, construction managers, and veteran craftsmen are well aware of these details, but,
That's not the case with half-hearted employees.
They say things like, “It’s only because of me that we’re getting this work,” or “The company is only staying afloat because of me,” or “If I quit, the company will go under,” lol.
We used to have one at our house, too.
What a half-assed craftsman, lol (he’s already retired, lol)
It's the same at every company, but,The company's reputation is at stake.That's right.
Individuals come second.
I started my own business 10 years ago. When I first started out, not even hardware stores would give me a monthly lease, lol.
The leasing company is thatWakita Co., Ltd.That was it, wasn't it? That was the only thing they did on a monthly basis.
Only Mr. Wakita (formerly at the Shizuoka, then Chiba, and now Nagoya sales offices), whom I’ve known since my time at Yamato Kogyo, agreed to it.
We’re still on good terms with them to this day. (I buy almost all my machinery through Wakita!)
I'm still grateful to this day!
People who are confident in the quality of their work and take pride in it rarely say things like, “It’s all about me.”
People like that usually say, “Thanks to everyone,"That's what they say!"
The top performers I know—veteran salespeople, supervisors, and craftsmen—all say the same thing!!
He's surprisingly humble, isn't he?
This is especially true for us—small and medium-sized independent contractors—when it comes to the credibility needed to carry out construction work.
It's important to have creditworthiness that you can manage, isn't it?
If I can't do that, I won't get any more work.
For a construction company, questions might include, “Can you assign Team X?” or “Can you handle the XX construction project?”
Do you have the necessary qualifications? Can you manage the construction? Can you purchase the materials? Can you handle maintenance?
For us as a construction company, having a solid reputation and comprehensive capabilities is essential.That's right.
Work comes from trust.That's what it was all about, lol
See you later
P.S.
Currently, 60 percent of our skilled workers are former managerial employees.
If anything, construction quality has become more important than construction productivity and efficiency.
(I don't know yet if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but work is moving forward from the director's perspective lol)
(Since I can make decisions to a certain extent even without the general contractor's supervisor, things move along quickly lol)
Since we're developing the project through the construction process, in a way, it might actually be a good thing.
