PROFITABLE SAWMILL is an unusual book. It is very easy to read, eye friendly and immediately available for use. If a beginner in a wood sawing business does not know exactly where to start and how to set up all the processes in his “new” company, he can use it as a school manual. Inside, you’ll find all the basic steps from recruitment and interview techniques, through sales and marketing, financial topics and machine maintenance topics.
In general, I divided the processes for to achieve higher profit within 5 steps:
