Day One
Production Mastery
- The 8-stage production workflow — map yours, name the two stages that are silently losing money
- Standardized offerings sheet — kill custom quotes; pick the 4-5 service tiers you will offer all year
- Design approval checklist — the revision-count rule that ends scope creep at proof round three
- Pre-press, print, and install QC checklists — the same operating discipline IGX and Vinyl Images run on the floor today
- Material tracking + waste reduction system — go in not knowing your waste percentage, walk out with it on paper
