Most electricians think success comes from quick fixes, speed, and staying cheap. But real growth? It starts with trust.

In this episode, Clay and Joe pull back the curtain on why customers ghost, how to avoid sales "gutter balls," and the real reason why technical skills alone won’t scale your business.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• Build rapport without being salesy
• Turn one-time customers into lifetime clients
• Avoid the “get in, get out” trap that’s costing you 5-star reviews and future work
• Speak in plain language that earns trust, not skepticism
• Use body language and tonality to gain permission and credibility at the door

The difference between getting paid once and becoming their "go-to electrician" has nothing to do with your tools… and everything to do with how you show up.

Most electricians write off cheap leads. Dorian Hayes turned one into $66,000.

In this episode, we break down exactly how Hayes Electrical used trust, process, and a six-option service strategy to transform a $24 Angi lead into a $66K whole-home upgrade all in under 30 days!

But it didn’t stop there. You’ll hear how Dorian:
- Trained his installers to upsell without selling
- Got 115 leads from his first Facebook ad
- Built a high-performing team from one organic Facebook post
- Replaced pressure with process, and burnout with mission

If you’ve ever said “lead aggregators suck,” or “my team won’t upsell,” this episode will shift everything! This is leadership in action.

This is what happens when process meets purpose!
