00:00:04.145 --> 00:00:26.614
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to another episode of Electricpreneur Secrets, the electrician's podcast, where a couple of master electricians with business addictions go live five days a week to help you master your sales, simplify your pricing and deliver premium level electrical service.

00:00:26.614 --> 00:00:36.448
Now today, unlike the other days of the week Monday and Tuesday already had us we're at hump day now and Joe's actually on vacation.

00:00:36.448 --> 00:00:49.171
We are without Joseph the sales bot, lou Canney, but never fear, clay the pleasant peasant Neumeier is here, as you can see, that's literally on my title on the screen today.

00:00:49.171 --> 00:00:56.731
If you're with us in the Facebook Electricpreneur Secrets group, then you're seeing that the pleasant peasant is now my official title.

00:00:56.731 --> 00:01:04.980
If you've just got here and you didn't know why that is, it's likely something to do with the fact that I am Canadian.

00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:13.102
I do live north of the border and I'm so polite, so pleasant that I'll hold the door open and then thank people for walking through.

00:01:13.102 --> 00:01:16.608
Oh, we're having fun.

00:01:16.608 --> 00:01:19.033
So, guys, I got to jump on the Facebook.

00:01:19.033 --> 00:01:25.551
Here I'm seeing someone saying hello, I want to be able to engage with you guys as we go through this today.

00:01:25.551 --> 00:01:29.105
Let's get on that Facebook group.

00:01:29.105 --> 00:01:30.028
Here we go.

00:01:30.028 --> 00:01:31.593
So how's everyone doing today?

00:01:31.593 --> 00:01:36.465
That's my first question as we continue this niche marketing journey.

00:01:36.465 --> 00:01:47.353
And, guys, if you're not a member of Facebook and you're not interested in becoming a member of Facebook again and you're listening to this on your favorite podcast channel, then never fear.

00:01:47.353 --> 00:01:55.849
You can reach out to us in other ways, such as our website at wwwserviceloopelectricalcom.

00:01:55.849 --> 00:02:00.441
There's a number of contact forms and good information there to help you guys out with that, all right.

00:02:01.221 --> 00:02:05.944
So, that said, we've got some really powerful stuff to go through today.

00:02:05.944 --> 00:02:08.006
Here's my live feed.

00:02:08.006 --> 00:02:09.727
I can see myself now.

00:02:09.727 --> 00:02:11.388
Greg's with us.

00:02:11.388 --> 00:02:14.069
Hello, greg, just saw you in class.

00:02:14.069 --> 00:02:18.173
Brother, appreciate it, and you're not driving right now.

00:02:18.173 --> 00:02:37.403
If you can type, if you can put a hand up, let me know have you ever niche marketed your business?

00:02:37.403 --> 00:02:39.706
Do you take active approaches to building trust in your market?

00:02:39.706 --> 00:02:51.528
Do you have a complete marketing strategy that goes beyond Google, that goes beyond website and SEO and just shoveling cash out to get that stuff done?

00:02:51.528 --> 00:02:58.224
Man, this is important, these conversations, because I want you to connect with people.

00:02:58.224 --> 00:03:14.493
We want you to be able to connect with people at a higher level, and something we hear so often, we experience we've been talking about it all week is how we can feel well-rounded as an electrician, and we feel that's the advantage.

00:03:14.493 --> 00:03:17.145
Hey man, I'm well-rounded too.

00:03:17.145 --> 00:03:20.836
I come from an industrial project background.

00:03:20.836 --> 00:03:23.810
I've done home service, I've done pools and hot tubs.

00:03:23.810 --> 00:03:26.640
I've worked on big generators and small.

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:28.085
I've done a lot of this stuff too.

00:03:28.645 --> 00:03:35.747
So it can be so difficult to want to narrow down our speak, our marketing, how we convey our messages.

00:03:35.747 --> 00:03:46.072
It can be so difficult to decide who to speak to and who to diss, kind of like planning a wedding.

00:03:46.072 --> 00:03:49.243
Right, at some point you're running out of tables and seats.

00:03:49.243 --> 00:03:51.789
Well, this is like that.

00:03:51.789 --> 00:03:53.052
Your marketing is like a wedding.

00:03:53.052 --> 00:03:54.463
You're not going to hear that anywhere else.

00:03:54.463 --> 00:04:04.646
By the way, I'm going to go ahead and dub that absolutely hilarious, and if I could take anything back, it might be a reference from marketing to weddings on this podcast.

00:04:04.646 --> 00:04:05.540
But you know what.

00:04:05.540 --> 00:04:06.824
We're going with it, okay.

00:04:06.824 --> 00:04:10.492
So who to invite, who to diss, right In your marketing?

00:04:10.492 --> 00:04:19.764
Let's stay with this parallel In your marketing, if we get specific and we speak specifically, doesn't that mean we're saying no to some other people?

00:04:20.646 --> 00:04:22.588
Doesn't that mean we're turning some people away?

00:04:22.588 --> 00:04:25.495
Well, here's the thing.

00:04:25.495 --> 00:04:28.951
Well-rounded does not equal well-trusted.

00:04:28.951 --> 00:04:36.163
It's not that you can't be well-rounded and well-trusted, don't get me wrong.

00:04:36.163 --> 00:04:37.107
I'm well-rounded too.

00:04:37.107 --> 00:04:38.009
I said it myself.

00:04:38.009 --> 00:04:44.552
But being well-rounded isn't actually helping you build trust.

00:04:44.552 --> 00:04:48.267
But being well-rounded isn't actually helping you build trust.

00:04:48.267 --> 00:04:50.471
As they say, the jack of all trades, master of none.

00:04:50.471 --> 00:05:00.502
Right, talking about mill rights, of course, but that's a real principle that applies Jack of all trades, master of none.

00:05:00.502 --> 00:05:05.293
Now think about that as it applies to you and your target market within electrical.

00:05:05.293 --> 00:05:25.714
I mean, this is kind of counterintuitive, because everything we've learned, everything we've grown through, everything we've aimed to become through our trade training was just an electrician but we didn't realize it was happening is, as we were training, we were falling into a very specific place in the electrical field.

00:05:27.141 --> 00:05:29.324
And I love electric electrical.

00:05:29.324 --> 00:05:30.809
I love electricity.

00:05:30.809 --> 00:05:34.461
I love the fact that there's so much that we can do.

00:05:34.461 --> 00:05:35.764
So don't get me wrong.

00:05:35.764 --> 00:05:48.946
I love the fact that I'm well-rounded, I love that I can work on a VFD, I love that I've worked on so much with programmable logic controllers and I can wire a doorbell at a house.

00:05:48.946 --> 00:05:51.711
It's cool to be able to do all those things.

00:05:51.711 --> 00:05:55.105
It's cool to just understand the fundamentals of everything.

00:05:55.105 --> 00:06:03.588
But please recognize what we're speaking to this week is niche marketing how to build trust in your market.

00:06:05.110 --> 00:06:07.615
Homeowners really don't care about the other stuff.

00:06:07.615 --> 00:06:12.050
Do you want to know what the homeowner market cares about?

00:06:12.050 --> 00:06:19.288
Speaking generally, they care about what's in front of them, they care about what's next.

00:06:19.288 --> 00:06:28.692
They care about what causes them pain in the morning, what causes them inconvenience, what causes them time delay.

00:06:28.692 --> 00:06:37.973
They care about those same things at lunch, at coffee, at dinner, at night.

00:06:37.973 --> 00:06:45.444
They care about how electricity contributes to helping them raise and keep their families safe.

00:06:45.444 --> 00:06:50.492
They care about how their friends perceive them.

00:06:50.492 --> 00:06:52.377
They care about the connections that are built.

00:06:52.377 --> 00:06:57.055
They care about being able to have friends over for dinner and have great lighting around it.

00:06:57.055 --> 00:07:02.305
They care about being able to travel around their home at night and not trip and fall over stuff.

00:07:02.305 --> 00:07:06.052
They care about not having extension cords run all over the place.

00:07:06.875 --> 00:07:09.228
These are all specific, specific little areas, right.

00:07:09.228 --> 00:07:11.737
Landscape lighting, how your house looks from the curb these are all specific, specific little areas right.

00:07:11.737 --> 00:07:15.290
Landscape lighting, how your house looks from the curb these are all specific needs.

00:07:15.290 --> 00:07:20.290
They care about what happens with these rolling brownouts and the blackouts in their area.

00:07:20.290 --> 00:07:32.959
They care about the times utility lets them down or the medical equipment they require on 120 volt power or 240 volt power that goes when they don't have a generator or backup power situations.

00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:48.709
They care about the environment sometimes and feel that EV vehicles are the way to solve that, and thus they care about having an EV charger and the ability to have an EV vehicle charged EV vehicle I know I'm saying that too much right?

00:07:48.709 --> 00:07:56.557
An EV charged at their house that doesn't take 18 hours because they plugged it into an extension cord to a 120-volt outlet.

00:07:56.557 --> 00:08:07.596
These are all the specific needs and pain points that they care about, and if we'll speak to those specifically, what will happen, guys?

00:08:07.596 --> 00:08:08.901
What will happen next?

00:08:08.901 --> 00:08:11.336
What will happen, guys?

00:08:11.336 --> 00:08:13.208
What will happen next?

00:08:13.208 --> 00:08:15.110
What I can tell you from experience.

00:08:15.130 --> 00:08:16.954
You hear us say this over and over and over.

00:08:16.954 --> 00:08:18.838
Don't listen to what we say, watch what we do.

00:08:18.838 --> 00:08:27.464
I'd never ask you guys to do something that we wouldn't do.

00:08:27.464 --> 00:08:49.467
If you follow us, it's because we've spoken to a specific problem that you care about, and so what we want to help you do is the same for your clients, and so building trust, really focusing on trust, even over authority, is a powerful play that you can leverage.

00:08:49.467 --> 00:08:56.427
You set yourself up as an authority, but the angle you work is for trust.

00:08:56.427 --> 00:09:02.277
Why, why, guys, is this phrase coming to your mind.

00:09:02.337 --> 00:09:10.052
People do business with who they know, who they like and who they trust.

00:09:10.052 --> 00:09:15.038
That phrase has never been and will never be.

00:09:15.038 --> 00:09:18.570
People do business with who they see as an authority.

00:09:18.570 --> 00:09:25.166
People do business with who they see as a well-rounded, experienced electrician.

00:09:25.166 --> 00:09:28.331
That's not the phrase, that's not how it went.

00:09:28.331 --> 00:09:38.947
If it went that way, sure, but it's not how people act, it's psychologically not how we actually respond and cause a transaction, and so that's not the way it's spoken.

00:09:38.947 --> 00:09:49.313
People do business with who they know, like and trust, so shouldn't we put a little bit of effort into that, a little bit of emphasis into that?

00:09:49.313 --> 00:09:53.506
Now I'll bridge you back to something we've already given away.

00:09:53.506 --> 00:09:59.058
We've already given away before what we would call the Facebook cheat sheet.

00:09:59.058 --> 00:10:09.246
If you're listening to this, if you're with me in the Facebook group right now, live, you, go ahead, throw a hand up if you can, or let us know that you've already gotten that Facebook cheat sheet.

00:10:09.246 --> 00:10:11.172
And if you haven't, good news.

00:10:11.172 --> 00:10:14.312
We're in another marketing week and I'm happy to set you up with that.

00:10:16.245 --> 00:10:17.591
Facebook's a powerful place.

00:10:17.591 --> 00:10:19.511
Social media is a powerful place.

00:10:19.511 --> 00:10:23.011
Most use it for authority.

00:10:23.011 --> 00:10:27.775
I was guilty of this myself Until this year.

00:10:27.775 --> 00:10:34.115
We really didn't have an active marketing strategy to target building trust over authority.

00:10:34.115 --> 00:11:10.827
You'll still see authority posts and engagements from us that demonstrate we know what we're doing here, but not as frequently as you'll see me talk about who I am as a person, not as frequently as you'll see me talk about who we're trying to become, the experiences we're having right, what we're listening to to help us grow, what we're doing to become everything we want to become and how we're helping people become.

00:11:10.908 --> 00:11:11.990
Secondary to that.

00:11:11.990 --> 00:11:13.596
It's totally relevant.

00:11:13.596 --> 00:11:16.269
It's totally there, as you know, right.

00:11:16.269 --> 00:11:21.052
If you've ever put your hand up for any of these value pieces, like the Facebook cheat sheet, you've seen it.

00:11:21.052 --> 00:11:30.539
We've strategically structured a post to speak to the conversation in your head, to get you to say you know what he gets it.

00:11:30.539 --> 00:11:36.566
That's authority, right.

00:11:36.566 --> 00:11:46.075
And you might be doing that in your electrical business by saying things like number one electrician in your area and when they go to Google and they see all the reviews to support it.

00:11:46.075 --> 00:11:52.317
But the problem we're targeting this week is how much competition there is around that.

00:11:52.317 --> 00:12:03.336
So would it be wrong of me to go outside of my way here today to help you guys with a little list Like a checklist, a trust building checklist.

00:12:03.336 --> 00:12:06.393
Would that be valuable for you guys?

00:12:06.393 --> 00:12:08.993
Because that's what I want to go into next here.

00:12:08.993 --> 00:12:15.745
Because that's what I want to go into next here.

00:12:19.832 --> 00:12:22.384
When you have trust as the specialist, people know why they call you.

00:12:22.384 --> 00:12:33.370
When you have trust as a person, people know that they like you, and if you already have that stuff built up in advance, then the transaction becomes easy.

00:12:33.370 --> 00:12:36.246
We see evidence of this when people just reach out to us.

00:12:36.246 --> 00:12:41.037
And I love you guys, I love when you reach out and we love to help.

00:12:41.037 --> 00:12:42.567
So it's no surprise, guys.

00:12:42.567 --> 00:12:46.577
I'm just being transparent with how we make use of these very same principles.

00:12:47.465 --> 00:13:08.578
People reach out who I've maybe never had a full conversation with before, maybe we've just had a couple touch points, or maybe they've experienced our content by investigating, researching us, showing up for all of our posted content, all the free stuff, to just learn about us, and they'll come through with a message.

00:13:08.578 --> 00:13:13.543
I'll wake up in the morning and see a message Clay man, I feel like I know so much about you.

00:13:13.543 --> 00:13:22.517
I just know you're the person that can help us with this X, y, z and that, in my humble opinion, is the best marketing you can get.

00:13:22.517 --> 00:13:30.370
That's the best sale you can get because the trust is already there.

00:13:30.370 --> 00:13:31.214
Do you guys agree with that?

00:13:35.784 --> 00:13:42.618
What's an example of a trusted sale you've made recently Starts with an R could be one of a few.

00:13:42.618 --> 00:13:50.917
A repeat transaction someone that already did business with you, so again, they know like and trust you check all the boxes.

00:13:50.917 --> 00:14:01.666
A referral transaction where their trusted partner told them about you, so they know like and trust you checks all the boxes.

00:14:01.666 --> 00:14:16.110
Or how about even someone that connected with a review of your service, your specialized service, and that review spoke exactly to the problems they're having and how you guys solved it.

00:14:16.110 --> 00:14:36.860
Would also be an example of a place where you've got some additional know, like and trust, but in your content, in your consistent efforts out there in the world to just share who you are, how you specifically help people and, most importantly, why you can build so much trust.

00:14:36.860 --> 00:14:40.250
I appreciate that.

00:14:40.250 --> 00:14:45.394
I appreciate that, and so here's the definitive trust list.

00:14:45.434 --> 00:14:49.989
Guys, I'm actually referencing a book that I think you all should check out as well Dan Kennedy.

00:14:49.989 --> 00:14:51.951
I'm a big fan Trust-based marketing.

00:14:51.951 --> 00:14:56.432
I'm going to do my best here to relate this into electrician language and what we can do.

00:14:56.432 --> 00:15:01.630
Okay, hope that sounds fair to you guys, let's go ahead and do this.

00:15:01.630 --> 00:15:05.212
Trust-based Marketing is the book.

00:15:05.212 --> 00:15:08.514
I love giving credit where credit's due, guys.

00:15:08.514 --> 00:15:09.791
We're trying to grow all the time.

00:15:09.791 --> 00:15:15.355
If you're a Dan Kennedy fan, let us know on the Facebook entrepreneur live feed.

00:15:15.355 --> 00:15:19.530
Or if you're watching the replay, guys go ahead and type Dan Kennedy, let us know if you're a fan.

00:15:20.734 --> 00:15:34.548
We talked about authority and we've talked about building the know, like and trust, and we've talked about them as they're separate, but also recognize that authority builds trust too, and it's the first thing on this list.

00:15:34.548 --> 00:15:37.157
That's okay.

00:15:37.157 --> 00:15:41.933
It's okay to be an authority, it's good to promote yourself as an authority.

00:15:41.933 --> 00:15:43.029
We can all agree on that.

00:15:43.029 --> 00:16:03.509
But the connection I'm making to it earlier when I'm speaking to it is it's not okay if it's all we do, because when we drive just authority, we also drive a wedge, a gap between where they're at and what we do, and it's a gap between personal connection that will develop there.

00:16:03.509 --> 00:16:05.933
We need to be people as well.

00:16:06.575 --> 00:16:09.488
This is where the next one ties in something called affinity.

00:16:09.488 --> 00:16:17.292
If you guys ever heard about affinity and know what that means, this is like a basis for rapport.

00:16:17.292 --> 00:16:21.158
A basis for rapport, guys.

00:16:21.158 --> 00:16:25.145
What's rapport?

00:16:25.145 --> 00:16:31.013
Rapport is when we connect with people right.

00:16:31.013 --> 00:16:39.972
Rapport is how we connect, how we get on the same frequency in electrical language, how we get to that shared energy space.

00:16:39.972 --> 00:16:44.956
Here's an example of affinity, shared background and experiences.

00:16:44.956 --> 00:16:49.909
Hey, you're an electrician, guys, I'm an electrician too.

00:16:49.909 --> 00:16:56.895
How good is that we're both working together to change this industry to help your business grow.

00:16:56.895 --> 00:16:59.585
And we're both from the same background.

00:16:59.585 --> 00:17:02.855
Couple of master electricians with a little business addiction right here.

00:17:04.926 --> 00:17:11.758
Your shared philosophies, even me sharing this book, dan Kennedy, trust-based Marketing is actually affinity.

00:17:11.758 --> 00:17:19.988
It's building that common relation, because if you're a Dan Kennedy fan, like my boy, gary Fan, who follows us a lot, gary shout out for you.

00:17:19.988 --> 00:17:26.934
Brother, who says yesterday I love Dan Kennedy's stuff too and shares his preference for reading as well.

00:17:26.934 --> 00:17:29.130
Building a connection, guys.

00:17:29.130 --> 00:17:38.307
Credibility, factual basis that this stuff works.

00:17:38.307 --> 00:17:54.170
Like when I reference how our marketing is built around this and how you get to see how 150 plus electrical contractors put their hand up to connect with one of our value pieces last week because it spoke to the exact needs, desires, problems of that topic, of that niche marketing topic.

00:17:54.170 --> 00:17:56.455
That's how this stuff works.

00:17:56.455 --> 00:18:01.176
So the factual basis for trust is that credibility.

00:18:01.217 --> 00:18:02.300
How about longevity?

00:18:02.300 --> 00:18:05.926
A lot of you guys might have this.

00:18:05.926 --> 00:18:14.132
You might be part of a company that's saying, hey, we've been around for 30 years, 40 years, 50 years Now.

00:18:14.132 --> 00:18:14.932
Please know that.

00:18:14.932 --> 00:18:29.782
Otherwise that really doesn't do a lot but it does help build trust because what it implies is that you've been part of a community for a very long time and that community trusts you.

00:18:29.782 --> 00:18:33.525
This reminds me of a little overlap.

00:18:33.525 --> 00:18:39.894
If we were putting a yard sign up in someone's yard and it said another happy customer.

00:18:39.894 --> 00:18:47.317
That implies that that homeowner gave you permission to share that yard sign to put that up right.

00:18:47.317 --> 00:18:53.251
So there's implications with longevity that share and promote trust.

00:18:54.213 --> 00:18:59.248
Celebrity being known for something what are you guys known for?

00:18:59.248 --> 00:19:00.711
Are you leveraging celebrity?

00:19:00.711 --> 00:19:03.597
I see a 1977 comment Appreciate that.

00:19:03.597 --> 00:19:04.667
How to be James.

00:19:04.667 --> 00:19:05.776
Way to go, man, love it, love it, keep it going, brother.

00:19:05.776 --> 00:19:10.615
That how to be James way to go, man, love it, love it, keep it going, brother.

00:19:10.615 --> 00:19:13.228
Right, that's a long time in business.

00:19:13.228 --> 00:19:16.653
But that celebrity how are you guys known in your community?

00:19:16.653 --> 00:19:33.571
Celebrity, you don't need a podcast, you don't need to be me, you don't need to be the pleasant peasant, but celebrity as a subject, what are we known for in your community?

00:19:33.571 --> 00:19:34.615
What are your charitable contributions?

00:19:34.615 --> 00:19:35.576
What are the causes you stand up for right?

00:19:35.576 --> 00:19:38.125
Where are you known to stand against something?

00:19:38.125 --> 00:19:43.577
Those are all areas of celebrity and they can do wonders for your pr and your trust.

00:19:44.826 --> 00:19:52.108
Familiarity, so recurring exposure those of you who've been with me since the lloyd days lloyd would talk about this a lot.

00:19:52.108 --> 00:19:56.421
Dan antonelli on our podcast talk about this a lot.

00:19:56.421 --> 00:20:00.150
How often do people see you and what are they experiencing when they do?

00:20:00.150 --> 00:20:02.434
Where is that exposure?

00:20:02.434 --> 00:20:03.416
Where's your shop?

00:20:03.416 --> 00:20:06.731
Is it in a great location where people are driving by every day?

00:20:06.731 --> 00:20:09.438
Where are your vans parked?

00:20:09.438 --> 00:20:13.355
Your staff drive a van home or is it in the yard of the shop?

00:20:13.355 --> 00:20:16.075
There could be an advantage if they're in their own neighborhood.

00:20:16.075 --> 00:20:19.192
That exposure, where are we seeing you?

00:20:19.192 --> 00:20:21.952
And don't just stop with clients, guys.

00:20:21.952 --> 00:20:24.525
How are we exposed to you at the supply house?

00:20:24.525 --> 00:20:28.496
Let's tie staffing and development of your business in that growth, that scale.

00:20:28.496 --> 00:20:36.205
How do people experience you and where is that exposure taking place?

00:20:36.205 --> 00:20:37.086
That familiarity Frequency?

00:20:37.086 --> 00:20:41.808
How often are you being heard, seen, shown to people?

00:20:41.808 --> 00:20:47.893
So it's the exposure, but it's also how often of the exposure, that frequency.

00:20:47.893 --> 00:20:51.316
Dialing that up just means guess what I've been reminded of?

00:20:51.316 --> 00:20:53.237
Service Loop Electrical again.

00:20:53.237 --> 00:20:55.458
Service Loop Electrical again.

00:20:55.858 --> 00:20:58.279
Everyone on our team posts on social media.

00:20:58.279 --> 00:20:59.080
There's a good chance.

00:20:59.080 --> 00:21:05.446
If you're with us in the Facebook group, you've seen our content this week, you saw our content last week.

00:21:05.446 --> 00:21:25.511
You may even see it daily, because our whole team contributes to this, our whole team in this podcast, and everything we're doing is about frequency and exposure and niche, speaking to the topics that are right there at your fingertips that you need help with Referability how good are we serving?

00:21:25.511 --> 00:21:27.115
How many referrals are we getting?

00:21:27.115 --> 00:21:35.074
What is our process doing to inflict, to cause, to promote referrals?

00:21:35.074 --> 00:21:36.935
Is it a program?

00:21:36.935 --> 00:21:38.357
Is it just quality?

00:21:38.357 --> 00:21:40.708
Could you go to a deeper level?

00:21:40.708 --> 00:21:42.133
I mean, this is what it's all about.

00:21:42.133 --> 00:21:45.989
Depth guys, depth in marketing and referrals are no exception.

00:21:46.751 --> 00:21:59.250
Placement I already touched on this a little bit, but the geography of your target market and the placement of your exposure, the placement of your branding Is your van fully wrapped?

00:21:59.250 --> 00:22:04.188
Does it have, if you're a gen specialist, does it have generators on the side?

00:22:04.188 --> 00:22:07.977
Are they placed strategically from a van perspective?

00:22:07.977 --> 00:22:09.530
Are they placed strategically so they're perspective?

00:22:09.530 --> 00:22:20.856
Are they placed strategically so they're non-interrupted when the doors are open, so that when you park at a client's house, the right people are seeing the right stuff that you want them to see, to cause someone to come over and say, hey, you install generators.

00:22:20.856 --> 00:22:24.650
Wow, you're a Generac dealer.

00:22:24.650 --> 00:22:26.715
No way, I was thinking about a generator.

00:22:26.715 --> 00:22:31.273
Geography how are you being experienced when you're in a neighborhood?

00:22:31.273 --> 00:22:35.809
How are you experienced in your neighborhood and in the communities around you?

00:22:37.835 --> 00:22:41.502
Demonstration this is a good one, guys.

00:22:41.502 --> 00:22:43.346
How are we leveraging demonstration?

00:22:43.346 --> 00:22:49.696
Seeing is believing, so it's a consistent quality In our marketing.

00:22:49.696 --> 00:22:51.819
Do we then promote reviews?

00:22:51.819 --> 00:22:55.816
Do we promote our favorite clients client of the month, client of the week?

00:22:55.816 --> 00:22:57.471
Do we promote our good work?

00:22:57.471 --> 00:23:38.595
Our staff is a great way to non-threat promote and have demonstration of the quality of execution in-house, to build up that trust in your market, to build up your brand and, especially if you're speaking to a niche topic, to build up your authority and your trust on being the only person, the only one that would get the call Because you became so good at speaking to the actual problems in the actual language that your clients use with specificity and build trust in all these areas.

00:23:38.595 --> 00:23:41.240
So the dots that connect your guys.

00:23:41.726 --> 00:23:45.814
In summary, really we know, like and trust these guys.

00:23:45.814 --> 00:23:47.017
Service loop electrical.

00:23:47.017 --> 00:23:48.846
These guys know what they're talking about.

00:23:48.846 --> 00:23:49.807
They keep showing up.

00:23:49.807 --> 00:23:50.847
Everyone trusts them.

00:23:50.847 --> 00:23:55.034
We keep seeing examples of how good this stuff works on the inside track.

00:23:55.034 --> 00:23:57.957
It's only a matter of time before we join.

00:23:57.957 --> 00:23:59.439
We're already friends.

00:23:59.439 --> 00:24:09.769
We trust these guys can have that too.

00:24:09.769 --> 00:24:11.255
You can be the only call they'll make and guess what?

00:24:11.255 --> 00:24:13.805
For my well-rounded friends that started with us in the beginning of this long-winded podcast solo show.

00:24:13.805 --> 00:24:17.471
If you're a well-rounded electrician, then know this.

00:24:17.471 --> 00:24:33.530
What comes with trust is actually more request for work done, more request for service outside of your specialty All the things that you want to do anyway, that you like to do as a well-rounded electrician.

00:24:33.530 --> 00:24:49.979
You'll get more of it still by being specific and targeting one area and allowing that trust to be built to the highest level and allowing those clients to connect you to their other problems, pain points, needs or desires.

00:24:51.326 --> 00:24:52.491
I'm out of breath, you guys.

00:24:52.491 --> 00:24:58.817
I've done everything I can here today to build value for you, to show you how electricians can build trust.

00:24:58.817 --> 00:25:06.117
The only thing I haven't talked about yet that I'm going to drop right here right now is we're going to do another little action post.

00:25:06.117 --> 00:25:07.000
It is Wednesday.

00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:09.292
It would be wrong of me to give some value away.

00:25:09.292 --> 00:25:28.315
I'm going to give you the checklist of what we talked about today on how electricians can build trust, everything I can brain dump on a page to show you, to give you all of the tools you need, all the actions you could take to build trust in your marketplace that you may not be leveraging today.

00:25:28.315 --> 00:25:32.414
So you can get that by just typing build trust on the post.

00:25:32.414 --> 00:25:35.848
We're going to put that on the group as well as well as my personal page.

00:25:35.848 --> 00:25:36.933
It'll all be there, guys.

00:25:36.933 --> 00:25:37.717
You could get that.

00:25:37.717 --> 00:25:39.664
And so action items today.

00:25:39.664 --> 00:25:42.650

00:25:42.650 --> 00:25:44.412
It's going to help you.

00:25:44.412 --> 00:25:49.480
Trust is a big part of you making sales right Know, like and trust.

00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:52.714
So grab the checklist and use it right.

00:25:52.714 --> 00:25:55.011
All-star action, guys.

00:25:55.845 --> 00:25:58.074
Really dive deep on this niching this week.

00:25:58.074 --> 00:26:02.236
Stay with us and really put this together on the page.

00:26:02.236 --> 00:26:07.750
Write out your marketing strategy, consider these few things what do I love to do?

00:26:07.750 --> 00:26:12.688
What's in high demand?

00:26:12.688 --> 00:26:13.630
What's most profitable for us?

00:26:13.630 --> 00:26:16.536
What are we doing that's causing the most revenue for us?

00:26:16.536 --> 00:26:20.310
Look through your business, through those lenses.

00:26:20.310 --> 00:26:35.438
Really put a thinking time aside and do that and you'll come to a few niche items that you could market very effectively, speaking to the actual pain points that your customers are talking about in the language that they use and I promise you results.

00:26:37.205 --> 00:26:48.188
That is it for another episode of Electropreneur Secrets, the electrician's podcast, where apparently I still have to fill 25 minutes by talking my face off, even without my partner, Joseph the sales bot.

00:26:48.188 --> 00:26:57.000
Luke, kenny Brother, if you're listening, I hope you're having a fantastic holiday, as that's mandatory here at Service Loop Electrical, because we're health, family, then business.

00:26:57.000 --> 00:26:58.727
You guys should consider doing the same.

00:26:58.727 --> 00:27:07.699
Just a couple master electricians with business addictions trying to help you master sales, simplify pricing and deliver premium level electrical service.

00:27:07.699 --> 00:27:12.116
This has been another episode with the pleasant peasant Clay Neumeier.

00:27:12.116 --> 00:27:14.967
Guys Can't wait to see you tomorrow for another one.

00:27:14.967 --> 00:27:16.509
