What if your rock bottom became the foundation for something unstoppable?
In this episode of the Million Dollar Electrician Podcast, Billy Harper, Founder of Empowered Electric, lays bare the gritty truth behind his transformation from addiction to inspiring business owner, community leader, and faith-fueled servant.

Billy doesn’t preach. He proves. With six employees, three vans, and a rapidly growing business barely a year old, he’s not just running service calls, he is running a mission. From wiring homes to rewiring lives, Billy shares how he leveraged faith, recovery, community, and systems (like the Loop Method) to turn his darkest moments into daily breakthroughs.

You’ll hear how faith, real brotherhood, and a drive to serve changed Billy’s trajectory, and how his team’s ability to care more deeply about the people in the homes, not just the wiring, sets them apart.

If you're still stuck under your pricing fears, or hiding behind the "right timing," this might be the mindset shift you've needed.

Electricians think their customers are price shopping.

But what if the truth is... they’re actually ready to buy and you’re making it hard?

In this episode, Joe breaks down his real-world frustration trying to hire tree work, and how FOUR different contractors ghosted what could’ve been a $10K job.

We uncover the 3 biggest sins contractors are committing that kill sales, destroy trust, and leave cash on the table.

WIN OF THE WEEK:

John, a new client, was facing a competitive quote situation. The customer said, “We’re going to get more quotes.” But instead of folding, John calmly dropped a 24-month, 0% financing option and walked away with a $9,500 close.

Proof that when you serve their way, they pay your way.

Stop making your customers work to buy

Use emotional drivers, not logic

Close with structured service options

Ever feel like the weight of business, family, and your health is all pressing down at once? You’re not alone and it doesn’t have to be that way!

In this episode of The Million Dollar Electrician Podcast, Clay and Joseph unpack the five bottlenecks most electricians face that lead to stress, low sales, and a business that runs you instead of you running it.

We’ll show you how to coach yourself out of overwhelm, manage your emotions like a pro, and take practical steps to break through to your next level.

From wearing every hat to building ladders that go nowhere, Joe and Joseph dive deep into how to untangle the mess and rebuild with intention.
⚡ Whether you’re in year 1 or pushing 7-figures, this one hits home!

Here's what you'll learn:
•Electrician burnout & chaos addiction.
•Time management traps in the trades.
•Fixing your bottlenecks: Leads, sales, admin, team, YOU.
•Why emotional intelligence might be your unfair advantage.

Win of the Week:
Will gave a quote at $4,800 for a panel upgrade.
Others were $2,000 cheaper but Will didn’t drop a dime.
Instead, he used our value articulation process, leaned into his lifetime craftsmanship guarantee, and told the customer to go shop around.
They did. Nobody matched his service.
Result? Deal closed.
That’s how electricians win without playing the price game!

Are you still pushing for the close on the first visit? In this episode, we challenge one of the most common sales beliefs electricians hold and reveal why the Two-Call Close might be the highest-leverage shift you can make in your sales process.

Discover why the traditional same-day close often fails and how splitting your sales process into two focused calls can increase your conversion rates, build stronger customer connections, and lead to bigger jobs.

Here's what you'll learn:
• The psychology behind why same-day closes fails more often than you think and how to tap into better customer decision-making.
• The Two-Call Advantage: Learn exactly how splitting the call enhances clarity, builds trust, and ultimately leads to more electrical service sales.
• Objection Handling Mastery: Watch a roleplay demonstrating the best way to handle the common "Can't you just email it?" objection like a seasoned pro!

This one isn’t about sales tactics. It’s about building trust, buying time, and serving at the highest level.

Big Win of the Week:
Charlie closed a $35,000 job even though the competitor was $10K cheaper. Why?
Because he built trust over two calls and served at a higher level. That’s what the Loop Method is all about!

In this episode, Nathan Miles shares how he leveraged the Loop Method to generate $75K in just 30 days! If you're looking for a proven strategy to scale your business, you won’t want to miss this!

After years working for others and putting in grueling 70-75 hour weeks to overcome financial challenges and after recognizing he had maxed out growth potential with his employer, Nathan finally took the leap to entrepreneurship. Nathan shared his extraordinary journey, generating $75,005 in his first month as an Electrician Entrepreneur after implementing a proven business system.
 

What makes Nathan's story particularly compelling isn't just the impressive sales figure, his approach to success? Putting customers’ safety above sales.

A simple two-outlet and doorbell call turned into a $10,000 panel replacement, after he discovered a hazardous panel covered in flammable lint. In that moment, he realized: "I didn't care about the money more than I cared about keeping them safe."

Instead of using fear to push a sale, Nathan educated the clients, gave them the options, and let them decide. The result? A win-win situation where trust led to business growth!

—---------------

Loop Method - a wiring technique used to create an efficient, streamlined system by connecting points in a continuous flow. Nathan applied a similar principle in his business strategy—building a seamless system of customer relationships, referrals, and service delivery. 

Instead of relying on cold calls or ads, he looped his network together by leveraging past interactions, social media engagement, and customer education, creating an organic lead-generation cycle.

We explore the critical importance of establishing control during service calls and how it can dramatically improve your sales process and customer relationships.

• Going to the electrical panel first is a non-negotiable step that establishes professional control
• This approach creates a pattern interrupt that shifts customer expectations and establishes you as the guide
• Standing firm on your process helps quickly identify difficult customers who won't follow your recommendations
• Safety provides a truthful and effective reason for insisting on seeing the panel first
• Customers who resist your process early are likely the same ones who would resist your recommendations later
• One technician generated $80,000 in sales over just two days by following this structured approach
• Process adherence across your entire team creates a consistent customer experience
• Saving time by disqualifying the wrong customers early protects your family time and emotional wellbeing
• Your process should be team-adopted, thoughtfully planned, and consistently executed

Master electricians Clay and Joseph are transforming the electrical contracting industry with their podcast and coaching program, Electricpreneur Secrets. Through personal stories of overcoming adversity, they reveal why many electricians struggle to grow despite technical expertise.

Clay rebuilt his life after a failed concrete business, while Joseph went from "the worst salesperson" to generating $1.3M in annual service from a single van. Their insights expose how traditional business coaching overlooks electricians in favor of HVAC and plumbing.

They tackle “self-objection,” where electricians undervalue their services, and teach how to communicate technical details in customer-friendly language. Their unique service call approach—starting at the panel, not just the reported issue—maximizes both safety and business growth.

More than sales, their focus is true service. Fixing one problem when a home needs more isn’t just a missed opportunity—it’s a disservice.
