Independent electricians in Australia are paying $4,000 to $5,000 a month to generate roughly half the leads Jim's Electrical delivers for $620.

Cam Scott has run Jim's Electrical for 18 years and sits down with Joel to lay out the real numbers behind the division.

He covers the fee structure, how lead fees work, why franchisees regularly get blown away by the volume of work in their first week, and what a 70 to 90 percent conversion rate looks like in practice.

One franchisee in the group is turning over close to $700,000 a year with four staff, paying around $25,000 in total annual fees.

Another had 15 five-star reviews inside his first two weeks.

Cam also talks about current territory availability across Brisbane, Perth, Newcastle, Wollongong and regional Victoria, and how to get started for $25,000 with a $12,000 interest-free payment plan.

If you are a sparky running your own business and you have never seriously looked at Jim's Electrical, this episode will change how you think about your marketing spend.
