How to Recession Proof your
Electrical Contracting
Company
Read this
letter to learn why this is the only seminar in the
industry with a 10 times your money back
guarantee!!!
Dear Frustrated Electrical
Contractor,
Now that the elections are finally over with we can wait
and see how many of the promises will actually come true.
One of the biggest issues that was present in the political
campaigns and also is all to present in everyone's day to
day lives is Energy. This topic is one that
has been plaguing companies bottom lines for many years.
I'm sure how ever you have never thought that this is a
perfect opportunity to not only help the environment but
also add money to your bottom line, endear your self and
your company to your client while also adding money to
their bottom line.
I know
what you are
thinking...
"This all
sounds to good to be true, how can they offer a 10 time
money back guarantee, and still have the ability to offer
all of these services?"
We will get to that in
just one minute first I would like to tackle the issues
being presented to your industry of electrical contracting
in today's uncertain market.
Let me ask you
a few questions...
Have you knoweticed
any of the following?
-
A decline in
the number of calls you are getting on a daily,
weekly or monthly basis?
-
Have you had
problems with slow payments because of your clients
market place being hit by the
recession?
-
Are you
scrambling to meet and greet as many new clients as
possible to try and drum up
work?
-
Have you been in a
situation were you have had to drop your prices to
keep busy? Even if this is something that hurts
your company?
-
Have you
felt the
need to decrease your advertising budget, because
of budget cuts
-
Do you have
a niche market that you can dominate and call your
own?
So many in the Electrical Contracting industry
have had problems getting new clients to keep the company
moving in the right direction. Perhaps you have resorted
to cold calling, which in most cases is a waist of time,
perhaps you have tried some ineffective mailing campaigns
that cost you as much or more then they bring in. Have
you spent money on extremely expensive four color glossy
brochures? Running adds in newspapers or magazines that
you clients never see much less read, or "lowballing",
bids because business is slow. Stop doing all of that.
You need to adapt a system that involves highly focused
marketing that works. How would like to check your email
right now and have a message from 3 "ready to go" clients
who are eager to talk to you about working for them on
your terms and your price? It can
happen
Do you know this
story
I knew some one
in our industry who owned an electrical contracting
company and couldn't' understand why he consistently
felt like he was just scraping by and always
compeating primarily on price. The reason was pretty
simple. He had bills to pay at the end of each month.
Payroll, repairs, material stock, utilities, rent,
equipment loans, house mortgage, grocery bills,
etc...
These things were not cheep at all. He knew if he
didn't have enough work then he would be spending the end of
the month trying to figure out who wouldn't mind waiting to
be paid He hated doing that, actually he almost made him
self sick because of the guilt he had.
So in order to
avoid all of the unpleasantries that accompany those
little irregular cash flow issues, he got eager about
working . Actually, he got very eager about working.
Sometimes a little too eager. In fact, he just might
as well have put a sign around his neck that said
"Call us" We'll do anything and we'll do it cheep!
But because of how he communicated with his existing
and future clients, thus approach and negotiated
accordingly. So he and his little electrical
contracting company scraped to get
by.
He started to get tired. He remembered a time when
all he wanted to do was work, because it was so much fun. He
really enjoyed it when he was challenged by a project or
problem. This only felt fulfilling when he was being paid
fairly for his time and work. And unfortunately that was not
happening all that much. The excitement of owning his own
company in a exciting field like ours soon started to ware
off. Working 70 hours a week and getting paid for 20 was all
to common (if he was lucky) and was now something that hew
was embarrassed about.
He was getting tired of trying to keep up with "the
latest energy efficient products" So that he could compete
with other contractors who had the man power to keep up with
new products in the industry. When using older non energy
efficient products he would be able to get the project done
but would be out bid consistently on projects that contained
energy saving equipment. this is because the client knew
that in the long run the other products would save many
thousands of dollars. He started to get this consistent
nagging feeling that there had to be a better way. this
feeling just would not go away. He woke up with it every
day.
That person was
me a few years back. But I'm sure you have felt the
same feelings many times over the years. I've talked
to many people in our industry and have found that
others were having the same fustigation's. I've found
that it doesn't have to be that way..for
anyone
If you want
better results stop doing the things that don't
work!!!!
After years of pounding my head against the wall
something dawned on me. Competing on price in our industry
is a losing game. It just doesn't work....ever. Being a
generalist, or someone who will do anything for anyone who
walks through the door leads to mediocrity and internal
discontentment. I knew that there had to be a way for me to
focus on what I was really good at and what I really
enjoyed. While at the same time make a lot more money. Other
people that I knew were doing it. So I knew it was
possible.
I started on a
quest to find a way to make myself stand out from the
competition. I interviewed other successfully
electrical contractors and realized that they never
would compete on price...ever. They had somehow
learned how to attract customers who not only
understood what quality electrical work was worth but
also were willing to pay a premium for it. The other
interesting thing I learned was that these truly
successful electrical contractors said no to allot of
jobs. It makes since though. If your consistently
doing jobs that you don't want then you never have
the time to find the jobs you do want and those jobs
are willing to pay a premium for your service. Saying
no is a very important skill in our
industry.
I also have always had a passion for being earth
friendly. I knew there had to be a way to not only provide
an opportunity for my clients to be a bit more "green" but
also I wanted to produce a bit more "green". I finally found
the field of energy management. I flew from one corner of
the US to the other in order to learn the field of energy
management. I knew this would set me apart from any other
contractor in the industry. I took this new found knowledge
and condensed it down into an easy to follow system that
would apply to any commercial building. In using this system
for my clients I not only was able to create work were there
wasn't any work before, but also I was able to increase the
bottom line of my client by many thousands of dollars. This
endeared them to me so that they wouldn't ever think of
calling another contractor in to work on projects in the
building.
The fact of that I had to get over however was that
I had to turn work away at times. For me this was a scary
thing to have to do. I believed that if I started saying no
to clients that I would start having cash flow issues again.
I kept doing more research and found another interesting
piece to the puzzle.
The "Truly
Successful People" are no more talented then everyone
else
What really makes the truly successful
people stand out is this. The truly successful people in
our industry have an ability to convince clients that
they are the best at what they do. Even if they
arn't.
The successful people understand the
magic of good marketing. And because they understand the
magic of good marketing they have allot of clients. They
attract the types of clients we all want. the ones that
not only have interesting projects but also have the
money and are willing to pay more for your expert
service. If you've got the types of clients you want and
they are willing to pay you what you are worth, then
there's no need to beg for more work or "lowball"
bids.
The truly successful people I met were
rarely creative geniuses. They were certainly talented yes.
They gave good service, yes. But so did I and I'm sure you
do too. Right? I did learn a few things about the truly
successful. They knew how to present themselves as the
experts in the field. Because of this they were able to
charge more for their services. (It's very hard to compete
with the expert in the field). They always got paid for the
work they did and they knew how to get the client excited
about paying a premium for their knowledge. They gravitate
more toward the work that they wanted and away from the work
that they "needed". They had a very clear sense of what was
unique about uniqueness to their customers. But most
importantly.....
"truly successful" people understand the
difference between features and
benefits.
The real
difference between me and these "truly successful"
people was simple. You see I would constantly talk
about what I have done. I just finished working on
that big job over there, I just bought a new piece of
equipment, my employees are the best at customer
service in the area. You see I consistently spoke
about my self. Successful people talk to the client
so that they can see the benefits. Your clients don't
give a sh_t about you or what you have. If they did
you wouldn't be in the mess your in right? So truly
successful people instead will not focus on the
features of their business, they will focus on the
benefit of what they did. This will reframe the idea
in the clients mind to picture him benefiting from
the service instead. This one concept changed my
business life for ever.
Learn to attract customers by focusing on
benefits and watch 94% of your problems
vanish
5 years ago I noticed a disturbing trend
in my local market place. The problem is one that many are
now facing perhaps for the first time in their career. As
you can imagine this can be a very opening experience for a
young business owner to have to face. The projects available
for bid had started to dry up. The ability for my clients to
pay after a project was completed had stated to become all
to noticeable. In fact I needed to change what I was doing
and how I was doing it and fast. If you look at your local
market have you noticed the same things
happening?
I know what you are
thinking.
No it doesn't have to be like that
because of the economy. That would be an easy excuse for
a business owner to make wouldn't it. What is needed
right now is a reform in the way that you operate. You
need to establish yourself as an expert in the
field.
Sounds Great...But how do you do
that?
I started on a path to sell more
products to my existing clients. Do you have the ability
to show such a value to your clients that they are crazy
to not use you and your services? When you present your
suggestion will it be immediately received as the best
option for them to implement? I would bet your answer is
probably not. This is what the combination of proper
marketing and energy management will do for your
business.
What would happen if you were able to save
your client just over $81,000.00
dollars?
Think for a minute. What kind of a
relationship would you have with a client if you were able
to save them this type of money? Do you think they would
price shop around any long to try and "pimp" your pricing
out to get Joe from down the road who doesn't understand
proper marketing to slash his price to the point were he
doesn't make any money and you lose the job. That to me
sounds like no one wins. In using a combination of tools and
positing yourself in the marketplace using proper marketing
techniques you will find that the competition will seam to
fade away. So what happens when you are able to save your
clients money. Simple.....You make a sale and you have a
client for life
The client that I saved just over
$81,000.00 for is now paying me a grand total of
$37,980.00 over the next 3 years. This is just one
example of how you can establish your business to have
passive income pouring in on a monthly basis and your
clients are sending you a check with a smile on their
face.
Because of this you will no longer need to
worry about cash flow problems. I would be willing to bet
that you could substantially improve your monthly income
with doing less work. Less work means less stress and more
time to do the things that you want to do in life. I no
longer take the jobs that I don't want. One of the big
problems with contracting is that fact that the money that
you are being paid may be very sporadic. How many times have
you found that you had money one week but then the next had
no money, or the money that was supposed to come in didn't,
or perhaps the check bounced. All of these things can be
detrimental to a small contracting business. Following my
model you will have multiple streams of income coming in on
a monthly basis. Trust me know about struggling. I feel
fortunate to have benefited from this system and want to
share this system with you.....
The Key To Success Is Getting Qualified
Customers To Come To You....
Getting the clients you want is allot easier then
you may think. The secret is to transform your image in the
market place from just another contractor, into a highly
qualified expert that is looked to answer complicated
questions. No....you don't need to spend allot of money to
do this either.
What if you
learned a system that would make your contracting
company virtually immune to competition? Wouldn't it
be nice to know that your schedule was booked 90% of
the time and knew it was going to stay that way? Even
though "Joe the Plumber" may be struggling this
doesn't have to be you. Fred Gleeck ( Known As ) and
Matthew Shields author of monergy are holding a
seminar to teach you how you can achieve the above
and so much more....
Look The fact of the mater is that I have spent 10's
of thousands of dollars and many months traveling to
different seminars and schools to learn this business model.
Fred and I are going to give you this information for a mear
fraction of that.
