Making panel labelling as one of your offers is a HUGE must when it comes to providing electrical services to your customers. 

As you should, you need to keep your customers in mind. Not everyone may know what panels are, where these electrical shut offs are placed or even how to operate these things and what to do when they're behaving hazardously. Therefore, it's your responsibility as an electrician to help them easily recognize electrical panels and learn about them. 

If you don't make the effort of labeling these circuits, you might also face severe consequences that can badly impact your own business. A customer might face an electrical fire and not know where their panel is, leading to potential property damage and harm, which could have been avoided if you took the time to offer a panel labelling option. 

But how do you offer such options? What's the truth behind this importance? And more importantly, how does this impact your customers and your business? 

This is an episode you certainly don't want to miss. Tuning in today's podcast will not only ensure the safety of your customers, but also increase customer satisfaction and loyalty, bringing your business to the NEXT level.

Have you ever heard the saying "the fortune is in the follow up?" Well, there are actually some facts behind that. When it comes to selling your services, follow ups on how you did your job is one of the most important things you can do to ensure customer satisfaction and retention.

 Whether you're in the electrical industry or a different field, building a solid foundation for your business is essential to ensure you stay afloat among the competition. 

But what does a "solid foundation" look like? What makes this so important and how can this bring your business to the top? 

There are root problems that can bring hindrance to your success, and a lot of them often comes from ourselves.

In this episode of Electricprenuer Secrets, we've discussed how building a solid foundation can help your business succeed, as well as the things you need to climb up the value ladder and bring your business to the top! 

An Electricprenuer is an electrician who is physically handling and running their own business, on the other hand, an extraprenuer is someone who goes above and beyond to take their business to the highest level possible and may even venture out in other fields. However, what's an Intraprenuer?   

We all have an idea on what this title is, but to get more into details, this is a person who's already working for someone. They could be an employee or a subcontractor, but they themselves run their own department. 

They are people who think hard on how they can do better in their role at a company so that they're able to strive and come out on top. Furthermore, they're able to attain so many benefits due to their dedication, without having their own company. 

Electricians who aspire to have their own company are labelled in this category. You have the skills, you can close sales, but you're still lacking those important aspects to start a business. Intrapreneurs are similar to entrepreneurs in the sense that they are driven and ambitious individuals who seek to innovate and create value in their respective fields. 

However, the key difference is that an intrapreneur works within the framework of an existing organization or company.

In this episode of Electricprenuer Secrets, we dive into everything you need to know about how to start your journey. We've expanded on these types of people and discussed how to become a success in the electrical industry. 

When it comes to making sales, as electricians, we always tend to focus on the big stuff. How do we look? Are our equipments looking up-to-date? And all those other things in between.

While the big things do matter, the small ones do too. During the sale, little actions can add up and determine how everything will go.

When going to specifics, we're talking about your presentation, how you present your options, the noises in the background and the overall atmosphere during the sale. These small details may seem insignificant, but they can make a huge difference in the overall success of the sale.

For example, if you're meeting a potential client at their home, arriving on time and dressed professionally is important. It shows that you respect their time, and you take your job seriously. Additionally, ensuring that your equipment is in good working condition and clean can help to build trust and credibility with the client.

During the sales pitch, how you present your options is crucial. You should aim to be informative, clear and concise while highlighting the benefits of your services.

Background noises such as traffic or barking dogs can be distracting and take away from the overall professionalism of the meeting. Ensuring that you have a quiet and appropriate environment to conduct the sale is important to maintain the client's attention and focus.

These are just some of the things we've discussed in this episode of Electricprenuer Secrets. Tune in to learn more on how you can control the small things to come out successful, leading to more sales, happier customers and, overall, a thriving business.
