00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:12.313
Hello, hello, hello and welcome to the Million Dollar Electrician podcast where we help home service pros like you supercharge your business and spark up those sales.

00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:20.606
I'm Joseph Lucani and, together with my co-host, Clay Neumeier, we're here to share the secrets that have helped electricians sell over a million dollars from a single service van.

00:00:20.786 --> 00:00:30.882
Now it's time for sales, it's time for scale, it's time to become a million dollar electrician.

00:00:30.882 --> 00:00:37.030
Hey Joseph, how was your vacation, brother?

00:00:37.872 --> 00:00:38.213
Man.

00:00:38.213 --> 00:00:41.043
It was probably one of the best experiences I've had in a long time.

00:00:41.043 --> 00:00:44.692
It was the longest vacation I've taken since actually going on my honeymoon.

00:00:44.692 --> 00:00:53.811
But unlike me being a younger individual that I was back then, getting up early and going and watching the sunrise, I did the exact opposite.

00:00:53.811 --> 00:00:58.146
I slept more on this vacation than I have slept on any others.

00:00:58.146 --> 00:01:07.683
So I'm coming back to this with a full sleep tank and no bags under the eyes, Like I'm feeling great, there you go, man Rested, ready to go.

00:01:08.325 --> 00:01:17.272
I did see a couple of photos of you laying on the beach, kids in tow, sleeping on your chest, in fact, uh, probably enough of those photos to fill a full photo album.

00:01:18.662 --> 00:01:29.072
Yeah, it looked like you were getting it was great, honestly, um, the reason I like taking vacation isn't really for myself, it's I recognize and I say this a lot the only people who know you work late are your kids.

00:01:29.072 --> 00:01:36.811
So I wanted to give them the extra time so that we can build those memories of them saying dad was present.

00:01:36.811 --> 00:01:39.000
Dad was here and these are the things we did, and anything they wanted to do we did.

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:40.703
They want to go somewhere, you want to do something?

00:01:40.703 --> 00:01:41.424
You want to buy something?

00:01:41.424 --> 00:01:43.289
No problem, we got you, we can do it.

00:01:43.289 --> 00:01:45.453
But what they wanted was closeness.

00:01:45.453 --> 00:01:51.391
They just wanted me nearby and they felt comfortable with me.

00:01:51.391 --> 00:01:52.980
So just saying, hey, when it's nap time, I'm going to nap on dad.

00:01:52.980 --> 00:01:54.745
And I was fine with it.

00:01:54.745 --> 00:01:55.260
It was really.

00:01:55.260 --> 00:02:02.748
I know there's going to come a time when the kids aren't going to want to do that and I have to appreciate these moments because one day the pitter-patter feet won't be there.

00:02:02.748 --> 00:02:05.210
I'll be looking at a bunch of teenagers.

00:02:06.311 --> 00:02:06.852
Take notes.

00:02:06.852 --> 00:02:09.794
Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you're very right, sir.

00:02:09.794 --> 00:02:10.776
Thank you for sharing that.

00:02:10.776 --> 00:02:29.092
Today we are here because this one simple change in your business that you likely have thought about, mr Electrician Mrs Electrician, you've likely thought about this and this one simple change could get you more clients, more from current clients, identify your best clients, get you more sales and get you more profit.

00:02:29.092 --> 00:02:34.110
This is why electricians need to have a membership and how to not mess it up.

00:02:34.110 --> 00:02:37.806
You're going to want to hear all of this, so stick with us here, joe.

00:02:37.806 --> 00:02:42.031
I basically have summed this up into a bit of a simple membership formula.

00:02:42.031 --> 00:02:44.647
We've got four components, one price.

00:02:44.647 --> 00:02:46.425
What are these four components, brother?

00:02:47.007 --> 00:02:47.227
Awesome.

00:02:47.227 --> 00:02:51.447
So the first component is something known as a front of the line pass or priority service.

00:02:51.447 --> 00:02:58.747
What that means is that these customers are electing to be chosen to be ahead of every other non-member.

00:02:58.747 --> 00:03:02.550
So as a benefit is it's equivalent of a first class flight?

00:03:02.550 --> 00:03:11.326
I know that I'm boarding number 1A, I'm going to get called first, I'm going to get up first and they're going to hand me a drink as soon as I sit down.

00:03:11.326 --> 00:03:13.727
That's the benefit of that priority service.

00:03:13.727 --> 00:03:17.789
The second thing is the after-hour service.

00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:25.919
Now, a lot of times when people say that they have an emergency, it's very rare that it's 9 to 5, right, it's.

00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:32.812
Either I lost power when I was trying to get the kids to sleep, or I woke up and there's no power in the home, or the fridge is beeping or the sub pump alarm is going off.

00:03:32.812 --> 00:03:33.676
Something's happening.

00:03:33.676 --> 00:03:35.143
It's never during those times.

00:03:35.143 --> 00:03:46.954
So we're giving them the availability of saying for you, our first class members, we are going to get up earlier and we are going to stay later when you call us, and that's a service that's only applicable for you.

00:03:46.954 --> 00:03:50.550
Every other non-member is going to have to sit in that nine to five window.

00:03:50.550 --> 00:03:56.171
The next thing is waiving all diagnostics and service charges.

00:03:56.171 --> 00:04:04.465
Now, that doesn't mean you're doing free work, but what it does mean is that if there's ever a problem, you are the first pick to call.

00:04:04.465 --> 00:04:17.435
Because if there is an issue, in most circumstances Clay, isn't it something where they're gonna say, well, okay, I can pay this company $95 to come out, or I could pay Service Electrical $0 to come out because I'm a member?

00:04:18.355 --> 00:04:18.776
Absolutely.

00:04:18.817 --> 00:04:22.963
At the very least, you're gonna be the first person right, yeah, yeah, lock them in.

00:04:23.584 --> 00:04:25.569
Yeah, so the call is yours to lose at that point.

00:04:25.569 --> 00:04:37.713
And the last but most important thing and I would say like this is really the foundation of where all the value comes from is the annual electrical service inspection.

00:04:37.713 --> 00:04:55.529
What this means is that once a year, I'm going to go into your home with a fine tooth comb and I'm going to look at anything that I feel could go wrong within the next 10 years and I'm going to create a range of options and awarenesses based on my observations and I'm going to prevent those problems before they happen.

00:04:55.529 --> 00:05:03.148
Now, the reason why this is so beneficial for so many people is because most people don't suspect something's going to go wrong.

00:05:03.148 --> 00:05:06.201
Everything works perfectly in the day it suddenly doesn't.

00:05:06.201 --> 00:05:10.733
But when you wait until it suddenly doesn't, it's a costly repair.

00:05:10.733 --> 00:05:12.802
Let's say you have an argument.

00:05:12.802 --> 00:05:14.488
Right now, you lost power in your home.

00:05:14.488 --> 00:05:16.463
Right now, the podcast goes off.

00:05:16.463 --> 00:05:18.488
You have no power right, that's happened.

00:05:18.608 --> 00:05:19.151
That's happened.

00:05:19.151 --> 00:05:20.500
Yeah, it has right.

00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:23.483
And I know you've ripped out the portable generator and gotten it to work.

00:05:23.483 --> 00:05:26.187
You got it, but let's say you didn't have that generator, yep.

00:05:26.187 --> 00:05:27.767
So what do you do Right now?

00:05:27.767 --> 00:05:29.930
There's a day of work that you're not really able to do.

00:05:29.930 --> 00:05:40.923
You have to call a service provider to come out and hope that not only can they come out but that they're going to be able to serve you same day.

00:05:40.923 --> 00:05:45.173
We haven't even mentioned price, because if you have same day prompt professional service, you are paying for it.

00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.649
Additionally, what if this was a preventable thing?

00:05:48.649 --> 00:05:50.343
Let's say that it was.

00:05:50.343 --> 00:06:00.449
You had a loose neutral in your main panel and over time it's been fraying because you recognize there's too much ampacity going through it and eventually it starts to get worn down and burnt.

00:06:00.449 --> 00:06:11.661
You could have easily fixed that months, if not years, prior by simply doing an annual inspection and tightening the connections, applying the no locks, cleaning off all the corrosion that builds.

00:06:11.661 --> 00:06:26.545
So a simple 150 diagnostic call or maybe even a $500 panel reconditioning would have been way more impactful to this long-term, preventing their time delay and their loss of service experience.

00:06:26.545 --> 00:06:31.237
Now, I don't mean to monologue here, but there's more that goes into it.

00:06:31.237 --> 00:06:32.300
Do you mind if I just keep ripping it?

00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:33.463
Yeah, keep ripping, man.

00:06:33.463 --> 00:06:35.043
I got a few questions for you when you're done.

00:06:35.588 --> 00:06:35.769
All right.

00:06:35.769 --> 00:06:49.636
The thing about that annual inspection that I feel is really, really helpful is because what it's doing for your customer, it's establishing that you know their home better than anyone else, which impacts all those other features.

00:06:49.636 --> 00:07:02.680
Because if they did have a diagnostic and it was a free diagnostic wouldn't they rather have the person who already knows their home and can be mentally envisioning it as they're driving to the call 100% man?

00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:23.911
So, as a result, by doing each of these individual things in tandem, the end result is you're someone they like, trust and respect, but it also means that you're the first person in and the last person out, because you have the ability of working with them on a different and more emotional level, because you've took the time to build that credibility.

00:07:24.973 --> 00:07:26.036
Awesome man, great share.

00:07:26.036 --> 00:07:38.444
So it's like if you have rapport with the person and you've got the report on the entire electrical system and you know the repairs and the installations that have been done by you and your company, that's a huge edge.

00:07:38.444 --> 00:07:41.701
So let me ask it to you in this way, let's give this perspective.

00:07:41.701 --> 00:07:45.759
We made a promise this would get you more leads, joe, how does it get you more leads?

00:07:46.362 --> 00:07:47.204
Oh, I love that.

00:07:47.204 --> 00:07:50.754
Okay, so the way it gets you more leads is this, in two different aspects.

00:07:50.754 --> 00:07:57.975
On the most simple level, you called me for the original call that I went on in order to sell you this membership.

00:07:57.975 --> 00:07:59.259
So that's one lead.

00:07:59.259 --> 00:08:01.137
So one lead to one, no issue.

00:08:01.137 --> 00:08:11.153
But even if I didn't do the inspection, I know that I'd be doing the good neighbor policy, meaning I'm talking to the neighbor to the left, the neighbor to the right and the neighbor across the street.

00:08:11.153 --> 00:08:16.617
So at a very bare minimum, I have the potential of getting four calls from one Yep.

00:08:16.617 --> 00:08:19.221
Now the second thing is on.

00:08:19.221 --> 00:08:25.526
I recommend doing this at least six months after the first visit, you would come back for an annual electrical safety inspection.

00:08:25.526 --> 00:08:39.875
What you would do in that aspect is now you have another opportunity to meet with someone who's's already purchased from you, whose home you are already familiar with, and they're giving you an open bill to say, hey, go into my home and see what's wrong.

00:08:39.875 --> 00:08:43.831
When is there any other opportunity, when we have permission to do that?

00:08:45.918 --> 00:08:46.759
Just when you're there, man.

00:08:47.381 --> 00:08:47.581
Yeah.

00:08:47.581 --> 00:08:51.553
So the thing is is that you're getting a second call from this one lead.

00:08:51.553 --> 00:08:59.541
So technically you've paid for one lead and you got two visits and you're more likely to be the one who closes that deal because of the additional report.

00:08:59.541 --> 00:09:04.158
But now that you've done the good neighbor policy the first time, you do it again.

00:09:04.158 --> 00:09:05.543
So let's count this through.

00:09:05.543 --> 00:09:13.841
The first visit was one lead to one call, but that one call produced three other opportunities going to the neighbors.

00:09:13.841 --> 00:09:29.582
You were then, from that same lead, going again and now getting a second opportunity, thus doing the good neighbor policy again, meaning that you've gotten one, two, three, four, five, six, seven additional leads from one lead.

00:09:30.450 --> 00:09:35.193
Yeah, and lots of people might argue that, hey, door knocking doesn't produce all that much.

00:09:35.193 --> 00:09:43.100
But you guys have to recognize marketing is not a single moment, it's a series of moments and we're not looking to create buyers.

00:09:43.100 --> 00:09:44.442
That's not what we're trying to do.

00:09:44.442 --> 00:09:57.458
What we're trying to do is expedite people on their journey and have them choose us, and the more they see us and come to learn like and trust us, the more likely that they are to buy from us as well.

00:09:57.458 --> 00:10:01.340
I would take it a step further, even, joe, and at the highest level.

00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:03.677
I'm going to make an additional recommendation here.

00:10:03.677 --> 00:10:24.061
Take the findings of that main repair that you did and or the findings of the annual inspection, and why not do every door direct mailer campaign for that local block or two saying, hey, we've got this level of member in your neighborhood and here's what we found at their annual inspection?

00:10:24.061 --> 00:10:26.549
Where does that tell the neighbors?

00:10:27.572 --> 00:10:28.953
well, it depends on what it's found.

00:10:28.953 --> 00:10:41.875
But, believe it or not, what I would learn immediately is this person's familiar with my area, familiar with my demographic and familiar with my home, especially if you're in a cookie cutter development where, or, like you're, in a large condo development of some sort.

00:10:41.875 --> 00:10:59.100
If you have an issue in property A and there are 65 other units that are the exact same and they were built at the exact same with the exact same materials, what are the odds that that fault is truly isolated to just that location?

00:10:59.100 --> 00:11:10.301
The odds are is that everyone else has either experienced it or has heard about it through someone else, so it's still close and in their immediate situation.

00:11:11.190 --> 00:11:12.173
I agree, man Huge.

00:11:12.173 --> 00:11:13.397
Okay, next question.

00:11:13.397 --> 00:11:17.738
So a bit of repetitiveness here, maybe, but how does this?

00:11:17.738 --> 00:11:21.332
Maybe we're obvious now, but how does this get more from every lead, then?

00:11:21.332 --> 00:11:22.777
By offering a membership.

00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:29.200
So the first thing is we can go through the initial inspection right Just from the first call.

00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:33.179
If all they purchased was a membership, you're adding an extra billable hour Great.

00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:35.457
So it's you getting your little drop in the bucket of what's more.

00:11:35.457 --> 00:11:39.480
But really the big win is during the annual safety inspection.

00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:51.673
Right, because what you're doing is you're literally going through the customer's home and you are looking for things that could go wrong, not to find work for yourself, but to prevent work for them.

00:11:51.673 --> 00:12:02.158
Because if you can catch a larger issue, instead of constantly treating the symptom of a larger problem, you can stop the root cause in its tracks.

00:12:02.158 --> 00:12:04.986
So what that might look like is hey, I'm getting consistent device burnout.

00:12:04.986 --> 00:12:08.620
Okay, well, you might slap in a surge protector and think that's going to solve it.

00:12:09.150 --> 00:12:13.282
But the more root cause analysis is okay, well, let's physically check out the main utility.

00:12:13.282 --> 00:12:15.496
Let's see what those connections look like.

00:12:15.496 --> 00:12:17.015
Are you overloaded?

00:12:17.015 --> 00:12:19.077
What are your connections at your outlets?

00:12:19.077 --> 00:12:20.895
Are we having any of these connections?

00:12:20.895 --> 00:12:22.636
Do we not have a strong neutral path back?

00:12:22.636 --> 00:12:25.398
That would consistently lead to this burnout as well.

00:12:25.398 --> 00:12:30.898
So not only could we offer the electronics protection, but it could also be a main system restoration.

00:12:30.898 --> 00:12:40.655
It could be a redevice of the home, and it would be entirely justified from a logical standpoint.

00:12:40.655 --> 00:12:42.259
You said I found this, and it's a direct result of this.

00:12:42.259 --> 00:12:53.172
We can only treat the symptom, or I've also created a range of choices, from the most permanent possible fix we could do which guarantees this for life, all the way down to once I drive away.

00:12:53.172 --> 00:12:56.140
That's when the warranty leaves too, and you tell me what you feel is the best fit.

00:12:57.530 --> 00:12:58.553
Love it, man, love it.

00:12:58.553 --> 00:13:08.164
Obviously, anyone that buys this has identified themselves as someone who values convenience and proactivity with their electrical system.

00:13:08.164 --> 00:13:13.461
They're someone that values safety and just knowing that the lights are going to stay on.

00:13:13.461 --> 00:13:29.482
Just the identification of those people tells us where to focus time, and so I'm going to go ahead and continue on and say that this increases profitability as well, because your marketing spend for that person with a greater lifetime value is actually less.

00:13:29.482 --> 00:13:49.898
Your cost of goods sold when you return to the same place and do more work there is actually less, so your profitability increases, not to mention if you land more leads in that same area and are able to spend more time as that hyper-local hero instead of traveling all over the place trying to find your next customer.

00:13:49.898 --> 00:13:57.354
So what do you think is stopping people from implementing a membership today in their electrical business?

00:13:58.797 --> 00:14:00.381
Well, I can tell you what stopped me originally.

00:14:00.844 --> 00:14:01.024
Sure.

00:14:01.654 --> 00:14:05.866
Electricians weren't doing this or aren't doing this as a mainstream tactic.

00:14:06.576 --> 00:14:27.081
Where I learned this was studying under HVAC and plumbing technicians, because those industries are very big in maintenance and contiguous memberships because they often have products that require ongoing physical service, so having a membership made sense there ongoing physical service, so having a membership made sense there.

00:14:27.100 --> 00:14:35.748
As an electrician, we often associate membership with maintenance and the logical thought is well, what do we do really needs maintaining if you don't have a generator or a Tesla or a solar system?

00:14:35.748 --> 00:14:50.216
So the main obstacle I see for electricians is believing that this is something they should or can offer If no one else is doing it and you feel like the only one that can feel almost like an island out in the middle of the water.

00:14:50.216 --> 00:15:03.780
But I can tell you from experience that when I started doing it in my electrical business, there was no one else in our tri-state area that was doing it no one, at least, that I was aware of, and I asked around a lot because I wanted to try and mirror different policies.

00:15:03.780 --> 00:15:16.899
So if you feel like you can't ask yourself why and once you find that why, it's usually going to be a superficial answer push past the superficial and instead say why shouldn't I do this?

00:15:18.221 --> 00:15:18.702
Love it, man.

00:15:18.702 --> 00:15:24.222
What do you think is the number one mistake people make when they do implement a membership system?

00:15:24.985 --> 00:15:32.363
Oh, there's so many, but the biggest one, I think, would be trying to go monthly for MRR instead of going annually for a one-time payment.

00:15:32.663 --> 00:15:33.365
Can I explain why?

00:15:33.745 --> 00:15:34.227
Yeah, please.

00:15:34.227 --> 00:15:42.135
So, realistically, if we have a one-time payment, then all the transaction at that point has been delivered.

00:15:42.135 --> 00:15:43.841
It's, you've paid me.

00:15:43.841 --> 00:15:46.158
I now deliver a level of service, right?

00:15:46.158 --> 00:15:50.799
That means I'm collecting before I even dispatch out, because I'm offering this over the phone.

00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:52.347
You want a first class option?

00:15:52.347 --> 00:15:54.115
Great, swipe the card, no problem there.

00:15:55.038 --> 00:15:59.437
But let's say, sake of argument, you're like you know what People aren't going to want to pay a $500 bill.

00:15:59.437 --> 00:16:02.062
They're going to want to pay a $15 a month balance.

00:16:02.062 --> 00:16:03.385
Or they're going to pay a $500 bill.

00:16:03.385 --> 00:16:06.010
They're going to want to pay a $15 a month balance, or they're going to pay a $50 a month balance.

00:16:06.010 --> 00:16:06.613
Well, that's well and good.

00:16:06.613 --> 00:16:10.241
So you sign them up, you get the credit card on file, you take the first month payment, right, $50.

00:16:10.241 --> 00:16:21.582
You go out to their home, you provide the annual inspection, you waive the service, you do the whole home and then three months later, you're $150 in and they decide to cancel because they are cutting their expenses and they see you as one they don't need.

00:16:21.582 --> 00:16:25.610
You've massively lost on that if you didn't sell anything.

00:16:26.355 --> 00:16:30.145
But additionally, what happens when the person's credit card changes?

00:16:30.145 --> 00:16:33.865
What happens when there is an issue that requires follow-up?

00:16:33.865 --> 00:16:39.346
You're paying your CSR and office staff to ongoingly maintain that agreement.

00:16:39.346 --> 00:16:47.182
You're maintaining this constant flow of needing to be engaged with these people to receive a $15 to $50 a month payment.

00:16:47.182 --> 00:16:51.479
And the biggest problem behind that is when it becomes too accessible.

00:16:51.479 --> 00:16:57.255
Everyone becomes first class, because for $15 a month, why wouldn't you take those benefits?

00:16:57.255 --> 00:17:01.984
But when everyone's first class, no one's first class.

00:17:01.984 --> 00:17:10.262
So not only do you end up losing money trying to go monthly MRR, but you end up reducing the experience by making it too open.

00:17:10.262 --> 00:17:16.499
So the people who are wanting to be first class end up getting a lower grade of service and are less likely to renew.

00:17:16.499 --> 00:17:17.741
Does that make sense?

00:17:18.123 --> 00:17:19.586
It does man Really good advice.

00:17:19.586 --> 00:17:21.758
Can I give you a scenario then?

00:17:21.758 --> 00:17:29.316
I'm just going to pick one random scenario and let's see if you could kind of coach me through how you'd begin to fix this situation.

00:17:30.117 --> 00:17:30.638
Sure go for it.

00:17:31.560 --> 00:17:32.864
We have a club membership.

00:17:32.864 --> 00:17:35.229
My field staff aren't offering it.

00:17:35.229 --> 00:17:38.667
Customers kind of surprised by seeing it in the options.

00:17:38.667 --> 00:17:39.713
Don't know what to do with it.

00:17:39.713 --> 00:17:40.436
They're not selling.

00:17:41.179 --> 00:17:49.965
Okay, the first question I would have here is I would sit down with my tech or at the very least I'd say why are they doing what they're doing?

00:17:49.965 --> 00:17:53.698
Am I inspecting what I'm expecting and what that means is?

00:17:53.698 --> 00:17:57.367
Have I role-play trained with them on how it should be offered?

00:17:57.367 --> 00:18:03.116
Do they understand the benefits and can clearly communicate in a way that a lay person would understand?

00:18:03.116 --> 00:18:07.670
Do they personally seem convinced and offer it without seeming pushy?

00:18:07.670 --> 00:18:15.086
Really, I would say, am I training them in any regard to how they should be communicating it?

00:18:15.086 --> 00:18:18.337
If the answer is no, then it's not their fault.

00:18:18.337 --> 00:18:18.999
They're not selling.

00:18:18.999 --> 00:18:20.122
It's your fault.

00:18:20.122 --> 00:18:31.142
They're not selling Because this is a communication of an experience and if they can't be emotionally bought into that experience, they have no benefit from a logical standpoint of why they'd want to be a member.

00:18:31.142 --> 00:18:35.598
So the very first thing I would get into is understand the text.

00:18:35.598 --> 00:18:38.305
Why Do they understand why it's being done?

00:18:38.305 --> 00:18:43.726
Do they understand how it's being done and do they have the repetitions to do it smoothly and authentically?

00:18:44.856 --> 00:18:45.499
I love that man.

00:18:45.499 --> 00:18:46.462
Really good advice.

00:18:46.462 --> 00:18:50.265
I would add one more piece if I could, by all means.

00:18:50.265 --> 00:18:51.259
I think you nailed that.

00:18:51.259 --> 00:18:56.247
By the way, I threw in one more late curveball and I'm going to answer to that specific piece.

00:18:56.247 --> 00:19:12.905
If customers are feeling surprised by it and they don't understand it and that's leading to any amount of confusion, then I would actually lead towards inspecting your calls, listening to some of the calls that are incoming and checking your script on the phone for your CSR.

00:19:12.905 --> 00:19:15.344
Are they introducing it up front in the first place?

00:19:15.344 --> 00:19:23.838
Not that we expect to sell it on the phone, but if it's not the first time customers are hearing about it in the field, that's one less thing to think about.

00:19:23.838 --> 00:19:32.494
That could actually be fatiguing them from being able to make any choice at all in that day, especially your top choice that includes that membership, joe.

00:19:32.515 --> 00:19:35.721
This has been an absolute value bomb of an episode.

00:19:35.721 --> 00:19:36.603

00:19:37.785 --> 00:19:39.248
I can't wait for it.

Y'all be well.

00:19:39.828 --> 00:19:44.507
