Every rookie mistake costs you — in time, in materials, and in customer trust.
But there’s a simple, field‑tested way to slash those errors almost in half: structured ride‑alongs.

Step 1: Shadowing
New tech rides with a seasoned pro, watching every move. No pressure, just learning the ropes.

Step 2: Guided Practice
They start doing parts of the job with the pro right there to coach — not just “figure it out” solo.

Step 3: Feedback Loop
After each job, take 5 minutes to review what went well and what to tweak. The learning sticks because it’s immediate.

Feel free to implement these steps in your service business and expect to reduce costs associated with common rookie mistakes. This one is a shorty, but hopefully you found it useful.
