How to Use Outside Contractors in Management

"I am Ivan Madar and I am here on behalf of Expert Village. Contractors are an excellent way of obviously (outside contractors)... sometimes you have to have them for special services, such as telephone, computer services if you don't have one on staff. What I find extremely effective running the clubs is within the community, find a trade. Not only because it is cost effective (when you are trading services or memberships with outside contractors); they also respond a lot faster. I have had trades with electricians and plumbers. When something broke and that person could fix it, they would leave the job and come in because the health club is important, they are members and they will use it. They want to protect their trade. It is a valid asset to them. I would look for trades in those circumstances because they are beneficial from almost any angle you look at it."
