    Nexstar, White Bear Lake, MN, now offers a free and confidential Business Assessment, available at www.nexstarnetwork.com/findoutNOW.
    Using the service, electrical, HVAC and plumbing service business owners can pbtain an anonymous and objective business assessment that provides instant evaluation on areas for business improvement and growth.
    “After I took this assessment I knew exactly what I was going to do different Monday morning – and that was to get my pricing right!” reports an anonymous business owner.
    The Business Assessment, as developed by Nexstar, measures business’ strengths and weaknesses according to six of the most important aspects of a successful business: personal development, business development, people development, economic security, customer satisfaction and visibility. After taking the assessment, results are immediately available for on-screen viewing or in printable format. Owners gain valuable insights to how well their business is positioned to succeed.
    Upon attaining a Business Assessment, contractors are then allowed to sample business lessons from “The Vault,” Nexstar’s vast library of proven best practices of running a service business, available to members on the organization’s website. These lessons were developed and refined by member contractors who have validated them in real business situations.
    “The Business Assessment is an example of how we help our members succeed to become the best in the services industry,” says Nexstar president and CEO Greg Niemi. “Other such assessments may cost hundreds of dollars but our assessment is free, confidential and offers immediate feedback. We decided it is important for every contractor in our industry to have this business management tool so we made it available to all service businesses, not just our members.”
    Nexstar is a member-owned professional training and development organization focusing its world-class programs on business growth and development of residential service providers in the electrical, HVAC and plumbing trades.
