Unlocking the Power of Data: Transforming and Elevating Your Business with JobTread

At the 2024 JobTread Connect user conference, Customer Success Manager, Stephanie Blair, took to the stage to share her passion for data and how it can revolutionize the way businesses operate. As someone who transitioned from running a successful professional organizing company to the tech world, Stephanie knows firsthand the challenges of managing a business—and the untapped potential that lies in effectively using data.

The Power of Data in Driving Business Decisions

Stephanie’s session focused on three key areas within JobTread that can help businesses track data: customers, vendors, and jobs. She stressed the importance of not just collecting data, but understanding its relevance, and using it to drive decisions.

  1. What to Track: The first step is identifying what you want or need to track. This might seem basic, but it’s a critical question.
  2. How to Track It: Once you know what to track, the next step is determining how you’re going to track it. This includes deciding when to pull reports and which factors are most important to review.
  3. Putting Data in Motion: The final, and perhaps most important, step is putting the data into motion. Whether it’s to mold marketing campaigns, shift business models, or improve efficiency, having a clear plan ensures that the data you collect isn’t just sitting idle but is actively driving growth.
