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.—---------------Join our community and get access to strategies that’ll help bring your electrical business to the top 🚀  Connect with fellow electricians and tap into a network of support and expertise! https://www.facebook.com/share/g/wvcMRNiyvyWoiSx3/—---------------Subscribe to our newsletter to receive FREE weekly value pieces packed with strategies, and guides to improve your sales, service, and pricing 👆https://www.servicebyelectricians.com/subscribe-to-our-newsletter—---------------See us and our wins at https://www.servicebyelectricians.com/
