————————————

Most electricians price their work like they're inheriting a family recipe…

Copy the last guy.

Charge what your old boss charged.

Add ten bucks and hope for the best.

Call it "market rate."

Repeat annually until your bank account starts making sad trombone noises.

Meanwhile…

We've helped hundreds of electricians rethink pricing.

And most of them follow almost the exact same structure.

Like Scooby-Doo.
Same mystery.
Different monster.

Because great service businesses don't feel like gambling…

They feel like control.

But behind the scenes?

The best pricing systems are built more like spreadsheets than gut feelings.

In this video, I break down the exact system I use to build service rates that:

- eliminate pricing guesswork
- create enough margin to hire great people
- support better warranties and customer experiences
- give you confidence to charge what you're worth
- turn future growth into something you can actually plan

Inside, I'll show you:

- The 5-stage pricing framework (copying → adjusting → awakening → calculating → controlling)
- How a sales coach telling Joe to charge $300/hour felt like swallowing a brick
- Why most electricians charge based on insecurity instead of math
- How to calculate a service rate that actually supports your future goals
- The simple spreadsheet model that makes pricing decisions stick
- Why charging "what the market will bear" is mostly rubbish
- How to stop losing money while pretending you're busy
- The secret to turning price shock into pricing confidence
- Why your service rate should work like power steering for your business
- How a Ring doorbell call can turn into a homeowner saying "shut up and take my money"

Also…

There's a pitchfork-and-torches prediction that never came true.

A debate about whether customers would burn the shop down over higher prices.

A rural electrician driving an hour just to get parts.

A future podcast guest buying a van with cash instead of financing it.

And one surprisingly honest story about realizing most adults are just making it up as they go.

If you're new here, binge the channel.
If you own an electrical service business, steal the framework.
If you want to scale to $1M+ with less chaos…

————————————

Most electricians price their work with a calculator...

Not a business.

They copy the company across town.

Guess what "sounds fair."

Discount the moment a homeowner hesitates.

Hope there's money left over at the end of the month.

Repeat every year until your profit quietly disappears into the back of a service van.

Meanwhile…

We've helped thousands of electricians build profitable service businesses.

And most profitability problems follow almost the exact same structure.

Like Scooby-Doo.

Same framework.

Different monster.

Because great service businesses don't feel like gambling…

They feel like engineering.

But behind the scenes?

The best electrical businesses are built more like a calculator than a crystal ball.

In this video, I break down the exact system I use to build service businesses that:

- increase profit without working more hours
- charge confidently using real business numbers
- improve gross profit and net profit margins
- create larger sales through better customer options
- eliminate hidden costs that quietly destroy profitability

Inside, I'll show you:

- The 3-part profitability framework behind every healthy electrical business (Increase Price → Increase Sales → Reduce Cost of Goods Sold)
- Why most electricians are dramatically undercharging without even realizing it
- How the 2026 Simple Service Rate Calculator determines what you actually need to charge
- Why internal price shock—not customer objections—is usually the real problem
- The billable-hours formula that completely changes how you think about hourly pricing
- How offering more options increases profit without simply raising prices
- Why relying on your accountant to build your business is broken
- How a simple gutter cleaning flyer accidentally became a masterclass in premium marketing
- The ride-along strategy that uncovers wasted inventory, unnecessary trips, and hidden profit leaks
- Why becoming the neighborhood electrician can create astonishing profit margins

Also…

There's a door hanger that instantly earns Joseph's business before a sales conversation even starts.

A whiteboard comes out for one of the deepest profitability lessons we've taught on the podcast.

A surprising story about UPS eliminating left turns to save millions in operating costs.

A technician quietly stockpiling surge protectors inside a service van.

And one conversation about accountants that gets just uncomfortable enough to make every business owner nod their head.

If you're new here, binge the channel.

If you own an electrical service business, use the framework.

Most electricians chase bigger paychecks...

Work longer hours.

Wait for another raise.

Hope another certification fixes everything.

Assume more years automatically means more money.

Repeat until you're exhausted...still wondering why someone else is making twice as much.

Meanwhile...

We've coached hundreds of electrical contractors...

And the highest earners almost always follow the same pattern.

Like Mario Kart.

Same race.

Different driver.

Because great careers aren't built by collecting years...

They're built by creating value.

But behind the scenes?

The highest-paid electricians build their careers more like an investment portfolio than a time clock.

In this video, we break down the exact approach that helps electricians:

- increase their earning potential without waiting years
- create more value for employers and customers
- unlock six-figure opportunities through service and communication
- understand where the biggest income opportunities actually exist
- build a long-term career instead of simply chasing hourly wages

Inside, we'll show you:

- The Value + Time formula that determines what an electrician is really worth
- Why Clay's first raise came from asking for one dollar...and what happened next
- How Joseph accidentally learned one of his biggest career lessons at just fourteen years old
- Why most electricians focus on raises when they should be focused on revenue
- The simple notebook habit that accelerated both of our careers
- Why service electricians often out-earn electricians who only stay on construction projects
- The secret behind becoming the person companies trust with bigger opportunities
- Why "just work harder" is mostly rubbish if you want to build a premium career
- How creating value compounds like interest throughout your entire career

Also...

There's a story about Clay asking for a raise just to buy a multimeter.

Joseph shares the reason he originally believed learning more skills would finally make him "worth something."

Clay tells the story of spending mornings solving impossible electrical problems on a pig farm with a master electrician.

And there's a hilarious debate about boxing, jiu-jitsu, teenagers...and why a punching bag might save a family.

If you're new here, binge the channel.

If you're an electrician or electrical contractor, steal the framework.

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.

- The Six Option Secrets Guide
• Real-world option-building examples
• Live training with electricians across North America

• The frameworks behind million-dollar service vans

————————————

Most electricians run marketing like they're playing darts blindfolded...

Boost random Facebook posts.

Throw money at PPC.

Blame the leads.

Fire the agency.

Repeat every quarter until your marketing budget disappears wearing a fake mustache.

Meanwhile…

We've generated hundreds of electrical leads through multiple channels.

And most successful campaigns follow almost the exact same structure.

Like Scooby-Doo.

Same framework.

Different monster.

Because great marketing doesn't feel like gambling…

It feels like engineering.

But behind the scenes?

The best lead generation systems are built more like an assembly line than a lottery ticket.

In this video, I break down the exact system I use to build marketing campaigns that:

- generate lower-cost electrical leads consistently
- build trust before a homeowner ever calls
- create demand without competing on price
- increase booking rates through better follow-up
- identify exactly where your marketing process is broken

Inside, I'll show you:

- The 3-stage Meta Ads framework behind every campaign (Problem Awareness → Solution Awareness → Product Awareness)
- How Kyle Electric generated 175 leads for roughly $22 per lead
- Why most electricians start their ads with the wrong message
- How to separate intent leads from interrupt leads (and why it matters)
- The simple retargeting system that follows interested homeowners through the buying journey
- Why PPC isn't always the right first marketing channel
- How a Zinsco panel became the perfect education-based marketing example
- The real reason most electricians think their leads are "crap"
- Why marketing isn't broken when the booking process is broken
- How to diagnose Cost Per Lead, Booking Rate, and Conversion Rate like a bottleneck detective

Also…

There's a debate about whether sales guys are ready to learn marketing.

A mailman who recognized an electrician from Facebook ads.

A discussion about homeowners still calling electrical panels "fuse boxes."

An unexpected detour into baby boomers, home equity, and the silver tsunami.

And one plumbing company that absolutely refused to stop texting after getting fired.
