Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Here's a story I heard the other day from a contractor I know.

Construction Company A, which was working on a major project, was a third-tier subcontractor.

Once the job is done, the sales team approaches the first-tier subcontractor and asks them to give the next job directly to us, bypassing the second-tier subcontractor.

The primary contractor was on guard and apparently asked one of my acquaintances, “Who is that contractor?”

There are quite a few people who go out to pitch to subcontractors and general contractors by mentioning the names of companies they know only a little about.

Similarly, there are salespeople who go out on calls saying things like, “I know so-and-so at such-and-such company.”

 

A sales approach that involves using someone else's name.

I wouldn't recommend it, lol.

I'm not saying it's bad. But as someone who comes here, I view it very skeptically.

This is a tactic often used by people whose companies or who themselves lack any particular strengths.

It’s just like the proverb, “to ride on someone else’s coattails.”

To put it another way, this behavior basically means, “As long as I’m okay, that’s all that matters!” but,

As contractors, we all want to do a good job for the general contractor, right?

 

The general contractor makes a profit, and so do we.

That's why we work quickly and efficiently.

The same is true from the opposite perspective.

However, the types of businesses mentioned above are the kind that don’t care about anything as long as they come out ahead.

So if things get tough, they'll just bail and run away.

And yet, they seem to go all out bashing other companies, which, in a way, is incredibly destructive.

 

Apparently, people say things like that on entertainment shows too, so I hear all kinds of stories lol

When strangers start complaining to you in places you don't even know... I can't help but think, "Are they really fans?!" lol

 

Well, the name “Enta” has taken on a life of its own to some extent, but let me make this clear.

I have very few friends!!

There are even fewer connections among slope construction contractors!

I do know a few people who work at branch offices.

There are some people who used to be my juniors or seniors. However, I’m hardly in touch with any of them, and we don’t really keep in touch.

I do reach out when I have questions about design or cost estimation—things like construction methods and pricing.

People who know me probably think of me mainly as a supplier of materials.

 

Please be very careful of people who try to get close to you by using someone else's name lol

 

See you later.

P.S. We’ve been getting calls every day about the schedule (the ones asking, “When will there be an opening?”)
It looks like there might be a little room in November and December. (A little)
However, please understand that we give priority to our regular general contractors.
