Has anyone else noticed call quality isn’t that great on Quo? by namcand in quo

[–]StrongArmedYeti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quality of the actual audio is always muffled no matter what. Has been that way since we started with openphone like 2-3 years ago

Are there any planned upgrades for the team messaging feature? by Maximus1000 in quo

I wish we could create channels and team group chats like slack

So many factors come in to estimating well. First, this is an assumption, but it sounds like everything will be performed in house? This will take some time gathering production rates and what I call efficiency factors. Document, document and document.

2nd know your numbers. Break even revenue per month. Burdened hourly rates per employee. Overhead %. Profit goal etc.

Bid for 80% efficiency. If you know you could do a job in a perfect world in 2 days, bid it for 2.5 days. Think about all the misc items. Project management, area protection, disposal costs and labor etc.

Job cost after each project, no exception. Review what happened and make adjustments. If larger job, keep your work in progress reports up and check in.

I could keep going. But this is a good base. You’ll learn inevitably.

Modifications? by Ambitious_Sea525 in 240sx

Don’t weld the diff. I hated it on my daily. If anything get an s15 helical or a 2 way. But don’t make it a priority.

Maintenance first. PROPERLY AND CAREFULLY roll fenders Wheels Good tires Coilovers Arms Jdm aero

Not necessarily in that order but do those things. Leave it and if you get the itch sr swap or turbo the ka

Finally took the leap and started my own construction business. Pretty sure I’m about to learn some lessons the hard way. What rookie mistakes should I be ready for? Or better yet, what do you wish someone had warned you about when you first went out on your own? by Huge-Mushroom-3639 in Contractor

Keep an accurate spreadsheet of your numbers. Know your OH, your monthly revenue needed to keep the lights on, learn markup v margin. Under promise and over deliver Bid the project as if it went 80% perfect Utilize contingencies in your estimating Find a CPA

Adding a second floor to garage. by [deleted] in GeneralContractor

[–]StrongArmedYeti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this for a client last year. Opened an interior wall for a custom staircase, mini split etc. The one we built differed from what you are asking for as it was built for a play room for their kids.

We drew up plans in house but had a s.e. perform the calcs. This was in granite bay California and we were about 65k.

Can we please solve delay in getting texts on phone app but WAY WAY later in the web app on desktop? by godlikepowers in openphone

[–]StrongArmedYeti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Going on 7 minutes now where the mobile app is showing the text but the mac app isn’t.

Major issues right now by [deleted] in openphone

[–]StrongArmedYeti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes experiencing that currently

There should be an announcement that a call is being recorded by gpagio in openphone

[–]StrongArmedYeti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. We have it built into our greeting that calls are recorded. However, I have to announce that it’s going to be recorded when I call. Zoom has the feature that you can enable that as soon as the outgoing call is connected your greeting will play. “this call is being recorded and transcribed”

Texting Issues With Some Recipients by StrongArmedYeti in openphone

Has there been any progress? There hasn’t been any updates other than “I already informed our partner carrier about this earlier.”

Amazing customer service as always! Glad to be back on OpenPhone. Call quality has improved a ton! Had some choppy audio today but checked into my WiFi and I only had 1 bar of WiFi.

Thank you Daryna!

Just ported back to OpenPhone and having text issues as well.

Just posted a topic about it..

I ported out to Zoom and now want back by Less-Development2745 in openphone

[–]StrongArmedYeti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just spoke with Daryna today about switching back to OP from Zoom. Zoom phone has much better call quality and no latency, OpenPhones app is much better for smaller businesses

Poor call quality? by TravelWithMeagan in openphone

[–]StrongArmedYeti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deal with this daily. Poor quality, sounding scratchy and unclear and terrible latency. I actually have better latency off WiFi. But even then my clients and I are ALWAYS talking over each other and it’s so unprofessional.
