From Demo Kits to Downtown Districts: Our Blueprint for Landing Monster Lighting Contracts | 26
In today’s episode, we break down how we secured a multi–six-figure municipal bistro/festival lighting project, 15,000 feet of cross-street lines over Main Street, and why passion, preparation, and your crew beat “just raise your prices” every single time.
Inside you’ll hear:
The 100-hour prep that made city officials say yes (presentation strategy, pre-qual questions, binders, and what we’d streamline next time).
Passion vs. laziness: why two hours for a night demo is non-negotiable if you want $20K–$40K jobs.
Building a brain trust: how we leaned on each other (and the Illuminati Lounge) to pressure-test the plan and sharpen the pitch.
Crossing over Christmas clients into landscape lighting the right way (low-hanging fruit → high-margin installs).
Value > price: creating separation so competitors justify your higher number for you.
Advanced Training (February 2026): who it’s for, who it’s not for, and why there’s an application. If you’re not willing to learn, demo, and implement sit this one out.
This is a winners-only conversation: demos after dark, proposals that actually sell, designs that make homeowners and city councils lean forward, and a mindset that takes you from “installer” to lighting assassin. If you want us to go deeper on landing large municipal/downtown projects, drop a comment and we’ll carve out a full episode.
