Episode 60 - Buy or Build Your Electrical Business?

If you're planning to start an electrical business, you might be wondering whether you should build your business from scratch, or take on the easier route and buy an existing one.Building your electrical business from scratch means you'll have to find the employees yourself, establish your own process, find a suitable name for your company and create your own brand. It can be a challenging and time-consuming process, but it also provides the opportunity for complete creative control over your business.On the other hand, buying an existing electrical business can save you time and effort by giving you a head start. The previous owner has already established the brand, hired employees, and created processes that work. Additionally, the business may already have an established customer base, which can make it easier to generate revenue from the start.However, purchasing an existing business also comes with its own set of challenges. For example, you may have to pay a higher upfront cost to acquire the business, and there may be hidden issues that you aren't aware of. It's important to conduct thorough due diligence before making any purchase to ensure that you're making a sound investment.Ultimately, the decision to build your own electrical business or buy an existing one depends on your personal circumstances and preferences.  However, this podcast today will review some of the key steps you should consider when starting your own electrical business from scratch. We provide valuable insights and guidance between the two options to help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of starting a successful electrical business.

Episode 52 - Service Electrician Success - Why You Need to Relabel the Electrical Panels

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.
