PULSE CHECK! It's time to announce more exciting new features being implemented in our Decision-Ready Analytics Platform, The Pulse?. This week, we're announcing a major enhancement to our Cash Flow Projection Dashboard for our active subscribers. Anticipating your cash inflows as a homebuilder can be relatively straightforward – cash coming in from draws plus cash coming in from closings, right? But many builders find it is far more difficult to predict cash outflows with high confidence – both the amounts and the timing can prove difficult to know with certainty, and that’s precisely what this new enhancement to the Cash Flow Projection Dashboard is meant to handle. In addition to quantifying all AP and future AP using costs on committed purchase orders and work orders, this Dashboard now also includes enhanced forecasting for homes in WIP so that even when a house release remains incomplete the forecast will still generate anticipated cash outflows based on budget expectations, schedule timelines, and vendor payment terms. These changes impact both the accuracy of the forecast, as well as the window of time it can predict – in most cases increasing visibility from 3-4 months to more than 6 months!

Radical Listening, let's talk about it. Have you ever had a salesperson come to a meeting and they knew more about an issue affecting your team than you did? It doesn't happen that often, but when it does that salesperson always stands out. How do they do it? Radical Listening: They care as much about your business as you do, and they're prepared to show you how they can help you accomplish your goals. Now flip the script - what if we knew as much about our suppliers and trades businesses as these exceptional salespeople know about our business? Remember, in negotiations best prep wins, and the person with the best information will have the best prep. We teach Radical Listening on day 2 of our Transformative Negotiations for Homebuilding Seminar coming up next on 3/26-27. Learn more and register here: https://lnkd.in/e_Nh5XUv
