How to master Buildertrend from your sofa

BT from your sofa

You can do a lot right from the comfort of your own couch: Binge-watch an entire season on Netflix, binge-eat an entire pantry of sugary snacks or binge-better your business.

Yep, you read that last one right. Just because you’re stuck at home, doesn’t mean your business should be stuck on pause. You can still capture leads and lots more profits when you’ve got the No. 1 construction project management software right at your fingertips.

In fact, there’s no better time than now to maximize your usage of our powerful platform. Our tools can help keep you in touch with your team, market to potential clients, schedule future jobs, finesse finances and more (lots more) – all from the comfort of your home, all in one super smart system.

The better you know how to use Buildertrend, the better success you’re going to see now – and for many days, months and years to come. It’s simple. Training is a guaranteed way to keep your business growing and going.

We know, too, that options are a construction pro’s best friend. That’s why we’ve provided plenty of training choices, so you can pick the support that works with the way you work. Even better, mix and match or tackle ’em all. When we say “unlimited training and support,” we mean it.

Sit back, relax and get comfy on that couch as we tell you all about the many ways you can master Buildertrend without ever having to step out of your slippers.

1) Train with your customer success team

In your corner every step of the way is your customer success team. They’re the problem solvers. An award-winning crew of superheroes ready to save the day for you and your business.

Whether you’re new to our program or have been a user for years, reach out to your team today for further training. Call 1-888-415-7149, email support@buildertrend.com or log in to your Buildertrend account. We’re here for you Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. CST, or 4 p.m.-2 a.m. CST if you’re a client in New Zealand or Australia.

The Buildertrend community starts with customers like you – builders and remodelers who may now have to rely on these customer success teams now more than ever. Our commitment to going above and beyond in every way possible remains.

2) Watch pre-recorded webinars

Want to take the guesswork out of Buildertrend but you don’t have time to speak with an actual person? No problem! Webinars are the answer.

Our huge library of webinars gives you the rundown on specific features, can’t-miss workflows and all the ways Buildertrend makes your business the best, bar none. You can access these simply by logging into your Buildertrend account.

3) Attend a Buildertrend Online Conference

To help you get started with more in-depth training, we are hosting Buildertrend Online Conferences at no-cost for customers. Through three days of educational classes, attendees will get the knowledge they need to jumpstart their Buildertrend usage.

Once the conference is over, the training doesn’t stop. You’ll get one-on-one time with your support team to implement the new ideas you learned. More information on the next session coming soon!

4) Take advantage of Virtual Consulting

If you’d rather learn one-on-one from the start instead of with a class, Virtual Consulting is the choice for you. Your team will be working with our onsite consultants in four-hour blocks, instead of the standard 45-minute trainings, on a success plan made custom for your company.

5) Read blog posts

We like talking construction tech so much we made an entire blog dedicated to it. Sure, there are plenty of articles that give you helpful tips and tricks to boost your business with our program, but there’s also content focused on industry trends, marketing quick-wins and insights into life at Buildertrend.

Getting your business right with free insights – that’s the purpose behind our blog. Read now!

6) Check out case studies

What worked for one builder may just work for you, right? Explore our case studies to learn how others have used our platform to transform their companies.

Each one takes an in-depth look at one business’ challenges, goals and the successes that followed after implementing Buildertrend.

7) Listen to podcast episodes

The Building Code” is a podcast made by us for construction pros like you. Every week, we talk with guests who know tech and construction best, including industry experts, customers and members of our own team.

Auditory learners, this one is for you!

8) Stay informed with Buildertrend’s COVID-19 Resource Hub

Unprecedented times call for extra guidance. Enter our COVID-19 Resource Hub.

Here is where you’ll find updates, inspiration and tips specific to navigating this crisis. It’s one small way we can help you stay informed, motivated and engaged. Find content created by our team as well as a weekly resource roundup that contains articles and news from around the construction industry.

Or, start with a demo if you aren’t a customer but want to become one

For many around the globe – builders, contractors and remodelers included – the front line of the fight against COVID-19 is taking place on the couch. From the safety of your own home, you’re protecting your team, clients and the community at large simply by staying put.

Technology has the power to keep us connected and moving forward. That goes for our current customers and future ones. If you haven’t given us a try yet, schedule a demo today.

We’ll show you how a project platform like ours makes all the difference – especially in times like today when your sofa is so much more than a place to binge-watch and binge-eat.
