Recently, an interview entitled – Reclaiming an Industry Boston Basement Technologies, with James Pratt was featured in the US Developer’s Journal. The article goes over how Basement Technologies was started, how it has grown and how it will continue to grow in the future. Some of the key ideas that James Pratt employs when working with customers and developing Basement Technologies dealerships are detailed including, ethics, loyalty and hard work. It is definitely a good read if you are interested in basement waterproofing, or general business growth. Here is an excerpt from the article:
In 1997, BBT decided to go international after Pratt created literature that would educate companies all over the world on the intricacies of running a successful waterproofing company. Pratt’s detailed manuals cover every aspect of his business — from the installations, marketing and sales all the way down to the book- keeping. This comprehensive literature, offered in conjunction with the unique patented products designed by Pratt, has made BT an international powerhouse in the basement waterproofing industry. Dealers come to Boston for two-week training sessions upon initiation and are given access to BBT’s patented basement waterproofing and dehumidifying products.
“The concept of having a turn-key business start-up package, with all of the methodology and functionality, made complete sense to me because when you start in any business, there’s a learning curve. That learning curve can be devastating,” Pratt explains. “Offering support during that learning curve … is very important. Otherwise, there’s a high crash-and-burn factor.”
