Trust Isn’t Built Just by Carrying On | Building Trust in the Construction Industry

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Today, I'm back at the job site in Tokyo, just like last week.

Everything is pretty expensive in Tokyo, isn't it?

When I tried to rent a new 2-metric-ton dump truck from a rental company, the rate was 9,500 yen per day plus a 1,000 yen security deposit.

So they want 6 days' worth (to be returned when the vehicle is returned).

I guess you just don't have any credibility in a new area, huh? (lol)

Build Trust

It's the same for everyone, isn't it?

The first thing I didn't have when I started my company was money.

I was totally broke, lol

Next was trust. If you work, the money will come in.

However, trust isn't something that comes just from time alone.

Trust is the one thing that takes work to build—it grows only little by little.

You just keep building it up.

However, just because a company has been in business for a long time doesn't necessarily mean it's trustworthy.

Plus, if you mess up, it’ll be gone in an instant.

Of course, since we’re just like any other slope construction company, we make mistakes from time to time.

Even if you make a mistake, as long as you follow up properly, your credibility won't suffer that much.

Even so, I can't help but feel that trust is gradually eroding.

Maybe it’s just right to be a little mindful of it on a daily basis, lol.

Major leasing company

And this dump might be a bit of a dirty trick, but—

Call a major leasing company and say, “I’d like to rent a dump truck from XX Leasing in Tokyo, so please make the arrangements!”

As you'd expect from a major company, they made it really easy to get connected lol

And I was able to rent it at a pretty good price through a major leasing company.

It sure makes things easier when you're working with a major company at times like this.

Thank you very much!!

 

Whenever I come out on a business trip to handle on-site management and other tasks, it really drives home just how little trust our company has.

The two things you can’t have even if you want them are trust and money (lol).

I'll keep working hard!

 

See you later.

 

Here's a quick introduction.

There's a guy who's a junior of mine who butchers Nagoya Cochin chickens in Iwakura.

That guy recently started a blog, but he’s such a geek that he’s actually posting instructions on how to fillet fish (lol).

I think this is a must-see for bird lovers. Plus, they’ll ship the butchered birds (Nagoya Cochin) directly to you.

Please feel free to stop by whenever you have time.
