// LESSONS FROM Tier Too Properties
Process is the bridge from a small company to a mid-sized one — most employees need process to deliver consistently, regardless of who the client deals with.
Installing an operating system (EOS/Traction) — including firing key staff not in the right seats — took RCS from roughly $60M to $100M in sales in two years.
Profit papers over partner conflict; the real test of a partnership only arrives when the money stops — RCS's partner breakups came in the 2009 downturn.
Apply the 20/60/20 rule: don't try to move people two notches — give the average 60% process and tools instead of trying to rescue underachievers.
Pay sub-trades within 48 hours of receiving the owner's check, as written policy — it built 25 years of trade loyalty with only one lawsuit, settled out of court.
Treat sub-trades like your own employees: on negotiated CM work, shortlist three capable trades rather than sole-sourcing, and pay up front when a sub is short on cash.
