We recently completed a custom home project, I verbally told the customer there will be “extras” for all the changes, and they agreed “verbally “ I sent them a bill for 8k and they are crying about it and questioning everything we have done. Great Point- DONT BE AFRAID- write it out and BILL RIGHT AWAY!
I have been adding more videos and resources to the "Electrical Contractor Basics" course. Here is one of the videos I posted just recently. What are your thoughts on this topic. Many of you will probably have better insight on actually making the jump into your own business than I will (since my dad started it and I am taking it over 20 years later). What are your thoughts? Here is the video and pdf from the course to reference - https://www.skool.com/wiredforprofit/classroom/d8aace83?md=90fc36d4f08341cf842b4f940aedb85d
Hey everyone! I hope you are are doing well. I want to put a question out there to get a feel for what is driving work/sales in your business. I'm interested what everyone finds success doing. What are you doing to get work? Answer for these 3 categories if you wouldn't mind. 1. Residential New Construction/Remodel 2. Residential/Commercial Service 3. Commercial New Construction/Remodel Thanks!
@Igor Zhogan Thanks for commenting! My tips on Commercial (if you want to expand more) would be this: 1. Call any commercial GC you know about that you'd like to work with and ask what you need to do to get on their bid list. 2. Look up your local Associated General Contractor group. If you're in the US, then it would likely be "Your State" AGC. (Mine is Idaho AGC). This costs be about $2k/yr or so, but they get 80% of public bids that come to Idaho. I don't believe I pay for any service other than AGC. I use building connected because GC's we have connected with in person use it to invite us to things. Calling GC's directly and just asking for the estimating department has been the #1 thing to get bid opportunities headed our way. I have never been told no. They want more subs to send bids to typically.
