  • 011 | Pickup & Delivery Service In Your Small Engine Repair Business
    Should you be offering Pickup & Delivery Service In Your Small Engine Repair Business? In this Episode of Small Engine Nation Podcast, we will discuss if you should be offering pickup & delivery service in your small engine repair business. I have heard mixed feelings about this service, as some shops are so buys, they can't seem to find the time to go and pickup machines from potential clients. So what do those potential clients do? They call someone else. PROFIT & CLIENT LOSS! This is the exact reason I ALWAYS highly encourage young entrepreneurs, that start small engine repair businesses, to offer a small engine repair pickup service, as well as a small engine repair delivery service. This will not only increase closing sales, but also build stronger customer relationships. Watch the rest of the video on why I believe you SHOULD offer pickup & delivery services in your small engine repair business.

  • 009 | 3 Ways To Market Your Small Engine Repair Business In 2020
    In today's Episode of Small Engine Nation Podcast, we will discuss the top 3 ways to market your small engine repair business in 2020. These 3 things are how my small engine repair business blew up. My top 3 lead drivers are Nextdoor, Craigslist, and Word of Mouth. Implementing these 3 marketing platforms in my business have tremendously increased my lead generation, thus making my phone ring off the hook!! Understanding how my small engine repair business blew up so fast is exactly what I want to share with you today. The simplest and most efficient form of marketing is #3, word of mouth. Having your friends and family hand out your business cards, and inform all of their friends and co-workers about your business will make you known as the go-to small engine mechanic when the time comes for that person to need a small engine repair service. Now do be in mind that doing these 3 things will not instantly blow up your small engine repair business and make your phone ring, but over time they can make your small engine repair business blow.
    Nextdoor is a great platform that can drive new leads with a single post. Nextdoor connects all of your neighbors, that live around you, in one big social circle. There, you can post about your business or the "side work" that you do, which in return will definitely make some curious neighbors want to reach you if they need your service.
    Craigslist ads... THEY WORK. Trust me. Pay the $5 per post and you are guaranteed a lead or 2 withing a few days. At least that is what I have been averaging.
