WEBVTT

00:00:04.147 --> 00:00:26.621
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to another episode of Electric Paneur Secrets, the Electricians 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.

00:00:26.621 --> 00:00:36.450
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.

00:00:36.450 --> 00:00:45.659
We are without Joseph the Salesbot, lou Canny, but never fear, clay the Pleasant Peasant Neumeyer is here, as you can see.

00:00:45.659 --> 00:00:49.192
That's literally on my title on the screen today.

00:00:49.192 --> 00:00:56.732
If you're with us in the Facebook Electric Paneur Secrets group, then you're seeing that the Pleasant Peasant is now my official title.

00:00:58.180 --> 00:01:05.043
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.

00:01:05.043 --> 00:01:13.019
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.

00:01:13.019 --> 00:01:16.626
Oh, we're having fun.

00:01:16.626 --> 00:01:19.031
So, guys, I got to jump on the Facebook.

00:01:19.031 --> 00:01:25.548
Here I'm seeing someone saying hello, I want to be able to engage with you guys as we go through this today.

00:01:25.548 --> 00:01:29.100
Let's get on that Facebook group.

00:01:29.100 --> 00:01:30.022
Here we go.

00:01:30.022 --> 00:01:31.585
So how's everyone doing today?

00:01:31.585 --> 00:01:36.483
That's my first question as we continue this niche marketing journey.

00:01:36.483 --> 00:01:47.361
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.

00:01:47.361 --> 00:01:55.135
You can reach out to us in other ways, such as our website at wwwservicelopelectricalcom.

00:01:55.135 --> 00:02:00.072
There's a number of contact forms and good information there to help you guys out with that.

00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:05.933
So, that said, we've got some really powerful stuff to go through today.

00:02:05.933 --> 00:02:07.879
Here's my live feed.

00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:09.703
I can see myself now.

00:02:09.703 --> 00:02:11.407
Greg's with us.

00:02:11.407 --> 00:02:14.072
Hello, greg, just saw you in class.

00:02:14.072 --> 00:02:16.362
Brother, appreciate it, okay, guys.

00:02:16.362 --> 00:02:21.383
So let me know this If you're in the group, you're watching this and you're not driving right now.

00:02:21.383 --> 00:02:24.775
If you can type, if you can put a hand up, let me know.

00:02:25.135 --> 00:02:27.722
Have you ever niche marketed your business?

00:02:27.722 --> 00:02:35.051
Do you take active approaches to building trust in your market?

00:02:35.051 --> 00:02:51.510
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?

00:02:51.510 --> 00:02:58.223
Man, this is important, these conversations because I want you to connect with people.

00:02:58.223 --> 00:03:14.490
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.

00:03:15.515 --> 00:03:17.139
Hey man, I'm well-rounded too.

00:03:17.139 --> 00:03:20.824
I come from an industrial project background.

00:03:20.824 --> 00:03:23.789
I've done home service, I've done pools and hot tubs.

00:03:23.789 --> 00:03:26.658
I've worked on big generators and small.

00:03:26.658 --> 00:03:28.080
I've done a lot of this stuff too.

00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:35.711
So it can be so difficult to want to narrow down our speak, our marketing, how we convey our messages.

00:03:35.711 --> 00:03:43.247
It can be so difficult to decide who to speak to and who to diss.

00:03:43.247 --> 00:03:49.247
Kind of like planning a wedding right, at some point you're running out of tables and seats.

00:03:49.247 --> 00:03:51.782
Well, this is like that.

00:03:51.782 --> 00:03:53.068
Your marketing is like a wedding.

00:03:53.068 --> 00:03:54.473
You're not going to hear that anywhere else.

00:03:54.473 --> 00:04:04.652
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.

00:04:04.652 --> 00:04:05.473
But you know what.

00:04:05.473 --> 00:04:05.875
We're going with it.

00:04:05.875 --> 00:04:06.816
Okay.

00:04:06.816 --> 00:04:10.521
So who to invite, who to diss right In your marketing?

00:04:10.562 --> 00:04:13.026
Let's stay with this parallel In your marketing.

00:04:13.026 --> 00:04:18.875
If we get specific and we speak specifically, doesn't that mean we're saying notice some other people?

00:04:18.875 --> 00:04:22.564
Doesn't that mean we're turning some people away?

00:04:22.564 --> 00:04:28.944
Well, here's the thing Well-rounded does not equal well-trusted.

00:04:28.944 --> 00:04:36.165
It's not that you can't be well-rounded and well-trusted, don't get me wrong.

00:04:36.165 --> 00:04:37.105
I'm well-rounded too.

00:04:37.105 --> 00:04:38.028
I said it myself.

00:04:38.028 --> 00:04:44.583
But being well-rounded isn't actually helping you build trust.

00:04:44.583 --> 00:04:59.769
As they say, the master of, or the jack of all trades, master of none right, talking about mill rights, of course, but that's a real principle that applies Jack of all trades, master of none.

00:04:59.769 --> 00:05:05.307
Now think about that as it applies to you and your target market within electrical.

00:05:05.307 --> 00:05:25.709
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.

00:05:27.137 --> 00:05:34.487
And I love electrical, I love electricity, I love the fact that there's so much that we can do.

00:05:34.487 --> 00:05:35.750
So don't get me wrong.

00:05:35.750 --> 00:05:48.855
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.

00:05:48.855 --> 00:05:51.699
It's cool to be able to do all those things.

00:05:51.699 --> 00:05:55.103
It's cool to just understand the fundamentals of everything.

00:05:55.103 --> 00:06:03.560
But please recognize what we're speaking to this week is niche marketing, how to build trust in your market.

00:06:05.103 --> 00:06:07.608
Homeowners really don't care about the other stuff.

00:06:07.608 --> 00:06:12.084
Do you want to know what the homeowner market cares about?

00:06:12.084 --> 00:06:19.283
Speaking generally, they care about what's in front of them, they care about what's next.

00:06:19.283 --> 00:06:28.677
They care about what causes them pain in the morning, what causes them inconvenience, what causes them time delay.

00:06:28.677 --> 00:06:37.978
They care about those same things at lunch, at coffee, at dinner, at night.

00:06:37.978 --> 00:06:45.458
They care about how electricity contributes to helping them raise and keep their family safe.

00:06:45.458 --> 00:06:50.494
They care about how their friends perceive them.

00:06:50.494 --> 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 --> 00:07:02.336
They care about being able to travel around their home at night and not trip and fall over stuff.

00:07:02.336 --> 00:07:06.035
They care about not having extension cords run all over the place.

00:07:06.865 --> 00:07:15.288
These are all specific, specific little areas, right, landscape lighting, how your house looks from the curb these are all specific needs.

00:07:15.288 --> 00:07:20.257
They care about what happens with these rolling brownouts and the blackouts in their area.

00:07:20.257 --> 00:07:32.956
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.

00:07:32.956 --> 00:07:56.555
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 An EV charge at their house that doesn't take 18 hours because they plugged it into an extension cord to a 120-volt outlet.

00:07:56.555 --> 00:08:07.595
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?

00:08:07.595 --> 00:08:11.552
What will happen next?

00:08:11.552 --> 00:08:15.110
What I can tell you from experience.

00:08:15.129 --> 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 --> 00:08:22.692
I'd never ask you, guys to do something that we wouldn't do.

00:08:22.692 --> 00:08:49.460
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.

00:08:49.460 --> 00:08:56.397
You set yourself up as an authority, but the angle you work is for trust.

00:08:56.397 --> 00:09:02.272
Why, why, guys, is this phrase coming to your mind?

00:09:02.331 --> 00:09:09.991
People do business with who they know, who they like and who they trust.

00:09:09.991 --> 00:09:15.030
That phrase has never been and will never be.

00:09:15.030 --> 00:09:18.557
People do business with who they see as an authority.

00:09:18.557 --> 00:09:25.115
People do business with who they see as a well-rounded, experienced electrician.

00:09:25.115 --> 00:09:27.428
That's not the phrase.

00:09:27.428 --> 00:09:28.331
That's not how it went.

00:09:28.331 --> 00:09:32.278
If it went that way, sure, but it's not how people act.

00:09:32.278 --> 00:09:38.898
It's psychologically not how we actually respond and cause a transaction, and so that's not the way it's spoken.

00:09:38.898 --> 00:09:49.294
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?

00:09:50.806 --> 00:09:53.493
Now I'll bridge you back to something we've already given away.

00:09:53.493 --> 00:09:59.054
We've already given away before what we would call the Facebook cheat sheet.

00:09:59.054 --> 00:10:09.216
If you're listening to this, if you're with me in the Facebook group right now, live, you, go ahead and throw a hand up, if you can, or let us know that you've already gotten that Facebook cheat sheet.

00:10:09.216 --> 00:10:11.168
And if you haven't, good news.

00:10:11.168 --> 00:10:14.316
We're in another marketing week and I'm happy to set you up with that.

00:10:16.206 --> 00:10:17.629
Facebook's a powerful place.

00:10:17.629 --> 00:10:19.514
Social media is a powerful place.

00:10:19.514 --> 00:10:23.028
Most use it for authority.

00:10:23.028 --> 00:10:27.807
I was guilty of this myself Until this year.

00:10:27.807 --> 00:10:34.116
We really didn't have an active marketing strategy to target building trust over authority.

00:10:34.116 --> 00:11:10.818
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 and how we're helping people become.

00:11:10.818 --> 00:11:11.962
Secondary to that.

00:11:11.962 --> 00:11:13.600
It's totally relevant.

00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.264
It's totally there, as you know, right.

00:11:16.335 --> 00:11:21.039
If you've ever put your hand up for any of these value pieces, like the Facebook cheat sheet, you've seen it.

00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:30.537
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.

00:11:30.537 --> 00:11:46.062
That's authority, right, 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.

00:11:46.062 --> 00:11:52.326
But the problem we're targeting this week is how much competition there is around that.

00:11:52.326 --> 00:12:03.365
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?

00:12:03.365 --> 00:12:06.380
Would that be valuable for you guys?

00:12:06.380 --> 00:12:08.958
Cause that's what I want to go into next year.

00:12:13.335 --> 00:12:17.903
When you have trust as the specialist, people know why they call you.

00:12:17.903 --> 00:12:31.385
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.

00:12:31.385 --> 00:12:36.261
We see evidence of this when people just reach out to us.

00:12:36.261 --> 00:12:41.003
I love you guys, I love when you reach out and we love to help.

00:12:41.003 --> 00:12:42.541
So it's no surprise guys.

00:12:42.541 --> 00:12:46.585
I'm just being transparent with how we make use of these very same principles.

00:12:46.585 --> 00:13:08.561
People reach out who I've maybe never had a full conversation with before, maybe we've just had a couple of 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.

00:13:08.561 --> 00:13:10.542
I'll wake up in the morning and see a message.

00:13:11.115 --> 00:13:13.524
Clay man, I feel like I know so much about you.

00:13:13.524 --> 00:13:22.504
I just know you're the person that can help us with this XYZ and that, in my humble opinion, is the best marketing you can get.

00:13:22.504 --> 00:13:28.466
That's the best sale you can get because the trust is already there.

00:13:28.466 --> 00:13:31.221
Do you guys agree with that?

00:13:31.221 --> 00:13:36.501
What's an example of a trusted sale you've made recently?

00:13:36.501 --> 00:13:50.884
Starts with an R could be one of a few a repeat transaction, someone that already did business with you, so again, they know like and trust you check all the boxes.

00:13:50.884 --> 00:14:01.642
A referral transaction where their trusted partner told them about you, so they know like and trust you checks all the boxes.

00:14:01.642 --> 00:14:15.926
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.

00:14:15.926 --> 00:14:36.903
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 can build so much trust.

00:14:36.903 --> 00:14:40.229
I appreciate that.

00:14:40.229 --> 00:14:45.403
I appreciate that, and so here's the definitive trust list.

00:14:45.403 --> 00:14:49.976
Guys, I'm actually referencing a book that I think you all should check out as well Dan Kennedy.

00:14:49.976 --> 00:14:51.943
I'm a big fan trust based marketing.

00:14:51.943 --> 00:14:56.423
I'm going to do my best here to relate this into a electrician language and what we can do.

00:14:56.423 --> 00:15:00.595
Okay, hope that sounds fair to you guys.

00:15:00.595 --> 00:15:01.639
Let's go ahead and do this.

00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:09.799
Trust based marketing is the book I love giving credit where credit's due, guys, we're trying to grow all the time.

00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:16.639
If you're a Dan Kennedy fan, let us know on the Facebook entrepreneur live feed or if you're watching the replay.

00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.479
Guys, go ahead and type Dan Kennedy, let us know if you're a fan.

00:15:20.774 --> 00:15:36.695
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.

00:15:36.695 --> 00:15:37.181
That's okay.

00:15:37.181 --> 00:15:41.942
It's okay to be an authority, it's good to promote yourself as an authority.

00:15:41.942 --> 00:15:43.058
We can all agree on that.

00:15:43.058 --> 00:16:03.504
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.

00:16:03.504 --> 00:16:05.919
We need to be people as well.

00:16:06.695 --> 00:16:09.464
This is where the next one ties in something called affinity.

00:16:09.464 --> 00:16:14.666
If you guys ever heard about affinity, know what that means.

00:16:14.666 --> 00:16:21.158
This is like a basis for rapport, a basis for rapport guys.

00:16:21.158 --> 00:16:28.658
What's rapport Reporters, when we connect with people?

00:16:28.658 --> 00:16:39.981
Right, ruler is how we connect, how we get on the same frequency in electrical language, how we get to that shared energy space.

00:16:39.981 --> 00:16:44.970
Here's an example of affinity, shared background and experiences.

00:16:44.970 --> 00:16:48.721
Hey, you're an electrician, guys.

00:16:48.721 --> 00:16:50.066
I'm an electrician too.

00:16:50.066 --> 00:16:56.933
How good is that we're both working together to change this industry to help your business grow.

00:16:56.933 --> 00:17:02.857
And we're both from the same background, a couple of master electricians with a little business addiction right here.

00:17:02.857 --> 00:17:11.773
Your shared philosophies, even me sharing this book, dan Kennedy, trust Based Marketing is actually affinity.

00:17:11.773 --> 00:17:20.009
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.

00:17:20.009 --> 00:17:26.955
Brother, who says yesterday I love Dan Kennedy's stuff too and shares his preference for reading as well.

00:17:27.877 --> 00:17:29.141
Building a connection, guys.

00:17:29.141 --> 00:17:35.718
Credibility, factual basis that this stuff works.

00:17:35.718 --> 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 --> 00:17:56.477
That's how this stuff works.

00:17:56.477 --> 00:18:01.186
So the factual basis for trust is that credibility.

00:18:01.186 --> 00:18:02.317
How about longevity?

00:18:02.317 --> 00:18:05.924
A lot of you guys might have this.

00:18:05.924 --> 00:18:12.249
You might be part of a company that's saying, hey, we've been around for 30 years, 40 years, 50 years.

00:18:12.249 --> 00:18:29.823
Now, please know that, 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.

00:18:29.823 --> 00:18:33.628
This reminds me of a little overlap.

00:18:33.628 --> 00:18:47.339
If we were putting a yard sign up in someone's yard and it said another happy customer, that implies that that homeowner gave you permission to share that yard sign to put that up right.

00:18:47.339 --> 00:18:53.240
So there's implications with longevity that share and promote trust.

00:18:54.222 --> 00:18:56.229
Celebrity being known for something.

00:18:56.229 --> 00:18:59.257
What are you guys known for?

00:18:59.257 --> 00:19:00.720
You leveraging celebrity.

00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:02.763
I see a 1977 comment.

00:19:02.763 --> 00:19:03.605
Appreciate that.

00:19:03.605 --> 00:19:05.135
How to be James.

00:19:05.135 --> 00:19:05.938
Way to go, man.

00:19:05.938 --> 00:19:08.202
Love it, love it, keep it going, brother.

00:19:08.202 --> 00:19:11.278
Right, that's a long time in business.

00:19:11.278 --> 00:19:16.636
But that celebrity how are you guys known in your community?

00:19:16.636 --> 00:19:21.538
Celebrity, you don't need a podcast, you don't need to be me, you don't need to be the pleasant peasant.

00:19:21.538 --> 00:19:29.122
But celebrity as a subject what are we known for in your community?

00:19:29.122 --> 00:19:32.012
What are your charitable contributions?

00:19:32.012 --> 00:19:35.064
What are the causes you stand up for right?

00:19:35.064 --> 00:19:38.055
Where are you known to stand against something?

00:19:38.055 --> 00:19:43.636
Those are all areas of celebrity and they can do wonders for your PR and your trust.

00:19:44.819 --> 00:19:50.477
Familiarity, so recurring exposure those of you who have been with me since the Lloyd days.

00:19:50.477 --> 00:19:52.101
Lloyd would talk about this a lot.

00:19:52.101 --> 00:19:56.420
Dan Antonelli on our podcast talked about this a lot.

00:19:56.420 --> 00:20:00.160
How often do people see you and what are they experiencing when they do?

00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:02.449
Where is that exposure?

00:20:02.449 --> 00:20:03.413
Where's your shop?

00:20:03.413 --> 00:20:06.741
Is it in a great location where people are driving by every day?

00:20:06.741 --> 00:20:09.428
Where are your vans parked?

00:20:09.428 --> 00:20:13.392
Your staff drive a van home or is it in the yard at the shop?

00:20:13.392 --> 00:20:16.104
There could be an advantage if they're in their own neighborhood.

00:20:16.104 --> 00:20:19.218
That exposure, where are we seeing you?

00:20:19.218 --> 00:20:21.989
And don't just stop with clients, guys.

00:20:21.989 --> 00:20:24.597
How are we exposed to you at the supply house?

00:20:24.597 --> 00:20:28.519
Let's tie staffing and development of your business and that growth, that scale.

00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:33.479
How do people experience you and where is that exposure taking place?

00:20:33.479 --> 00:20:37.087
That familiarity Frequency?

00:20:37.087 --> 00:20:41.819
How often are you being heard, seen, shown to people?

00:20:41.819 --> 00:20:47.901
So it's the exposure, but it's also how often of the exposure, that frequency.

00:20:47.901 --> 00:20:50.026
Dialing that up just means guess what.

00:20:50.026 --> 00:20:53.220
I've been reminded of service loop electrical again.

00:20:53.220 --> 00:20:55.444
Service loop electrical again.

00:20:55.865 --> 00:20:58.259
Everyone on our team posts on social media.

00:20:58.259 --> 00:20:59.063
There's a good chance.

00:20:59.063 --> 00:21:00.657
If you're with us in the Facebook group.

00:21:00.657 --> 00:21:02.727
You've seen our content this week.

00:21:02.727 --> 00:21:04.615
You saw our content last week.

00:21:04.615 --> 00:21:20.641
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.

00:21:21.703 --> 00:21:24.132
Referability.

00:21:24.132 --> 00:21:25.517
How good are we serving?

00:21:25.517 --> 00:21:27.121
How many referrals are we getting?

00:21:27.121 --> 00:21:35.067
What is our process doing to inflict, to cause, to promote referrals?

00:21:35.067 --> 00:21:36.951
Is it a program?

00:21:36.951 --> 00:21:38.234
Is it just quality?

00:21:38.234 --> 00:21:40.705
Could you go to a deeper level?

00:21:40.705 --> 00:21:42.152
I mean, this is what it's all about.

00:21:42.152 --> 00:21:45.984
Depth guys, depth in marketing, and referrals are no exception.

00:21:46.768 --> 00:21:59.271
Placement I've 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?

00:21:59.271 --> 00:22:04.204
Does it have, if you're a gen specialist, does it have generators on the side?

00:22:04.204 --> 00:22:07.962
Are they placed strategically from a van perspective?

00:22:07.962 --> 00:22:20.871
Are they placed strategically so they're not 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.

00:22:20.871 --> 00:22:24.624
Wow, you're a Generac dealer.

00:22:24.624 --> 00:22:26.721
No way, I was thinking about a generator.

00:22:26.721 --> 00:22:31.246
Geography how are you being experienced when you're in a neighborhood?

00:22:31.246 --> 00:22:35.786
How are you experienced in your neighborhood and in the communities around you.

00:22:37.820 --> 00:22:41.442
Demonstration this is a good one, guys.

00:22:41.442 --> 00:22:43.301
How are we leveraging demonstration?

00:22:43.301 --> 00:22:49.680
Seeing is believing, so it's a consistent quality In our marketing.

00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:51.806
Do we then promote reviews?

00:22:51.806 --> 00:22:55.823
Do we promote our favorite clients Client of the month, client of the week?

00:22:55.823 --> 00:22:57.461
Do we promote our good work?

00:22:57.461 --> 00:23:38.564
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.

00:23:38.564 --> 00:23:41.279
So the dots that connect to your guys.

00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:47.018
In summary, really we know, like and trust these guys Service loop electrical.

00:23:47.018 --> 00:23:48.862
These guys know what they're talking about.

00:23:48.862 --> 00:23:49.825
They keep showing up.

00:23:49.825 --> 00:23:50.826
Everyone else trusts them.

00:23:50.826 --> 00:23:54.984
We keep seeing examples of how good this stuff works on the inside track.

00:23:54.984 --> 00:23:57.855
It's only a matter of time before we join.

00:23:57.855 --> 00:23:59.421
We're already friends.

00:23:59.421 --> 00:24:00.897
We trust these guys.

00:24:00.897 --> 00:24:04.521
You can have that too.

00:24:04.521 --> 00:24:06.855
You can be the only call they'll make.

00:24:06.855 --> 00:24:07.715
And guess what?

00:24:07.715 --> 00:24:13.788
For my well-rounded friends that started with us in the beginning of this long-winded podcast solo show.

00:24:13.788 --> 00:24:17.443
If you're a well-rounded electrician, then know this.

00:24:17.443 --> 00:24:33.523
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.

00:24:33.523 --> 00:24:49.990
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.

00:24:51.336 --> 00:24:51.999
I'm out of breath.

00:24:51.999 --> 00:24:52.480
You guys.

00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:58.827
I've done everything I can here today to build value for you, to show you how electricians can build trust.

00:24:58.827 --> 00:25:06.133
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.

00:25:06.133 --> 00:25:06.815
It is Wednesday.

00:25:06.815 --> 00:25:08.855
We're going to be wrong of me to give some value away.

00:25:08.855 --> 00:25:27.855
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.

00:25:27.855 --> 00:25:31.875
You can get that by just typing build trust on the post.

00:25:31.875 --> 00:25:35.864
We're going to put that on the group as well as my personal page.

00:25:35.864 --> 00:25:36.925
It'll all be there, guys.

00:25:36.925 --> 00:25:37.688
You could get that.

00:25:37.688 --> 00:25:39.721
Action items today.

00:25:39.721 --> 00:25:42.622

00:25:44.381 --> 00:25:48.372
Trust is a big part of you making sales.

00:25:48.372 --> 00:25:48.855
No, like and trust.

00:25:48.855 --> 00:25:51.644
So grab the checklist and use it.

00:25:51.644 --> 00:25:54.855
All-star action guys.

00:25:55.840 --> 00:25:57.875
Really dive deep on this niching this week.

00:25:57.875 --> 00:26:01.875
Stay with us and really put this together on the page.

00:26:01.875 --> 00:26:03.875
Write out your marketing strategy.

00:26:03.875 --> 00:26:07.761
Consider these few things what do I love to do?

00:26:07.761 --> 00:26:09.875
What's in high demand?

00:26:09.875 --> 00:26:11.875
What's most profitable for us?

00:26:11.875 --> 00:26:15.875
What are we doing that's causing the most revenue for us?

00:26:15.875 --> 00:26:19.875
Look through your business, through those lenses.

00:26:19.875 --> 00:26:35.443
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.

00:26:37.203 --> 00:26:47.634
That is it for another episode of Electricpreneurs Secrets, the electricians podcast, where apparently I still have to fill 25 minutes by talking my face off, even without my partner, joseph the sales bot.

00:26:47.634 --> 00:26:50.875
Luke Canny, brother, if you're listening, I hope you're having a fantastic holiday.

00:26:50.875 --> 00:26:56.252
That's mandatory here at Service Super Electrical because we're a health family.

00:26:56.252 --> 00:26:58.721
Then business you guys should consider doing the same.

00:26:58.721 --> 00:27:07.665
Just a couple master electricians with business addictions trying to help you master sales, simplify pricing and deliver premium level electrical service.

00:27:07.665 --> 00:27:11.773
This has been another episode with the pleasant peasant Clay Neumeier.

00:27:11.773 --> 00:27:14.875
Guys, Can't wait to see you tomorrow for another one.

00:27:14.875 --> 00:27:16.481
Cheers to your success.

00:27:16.481 --> 00:27:17.540
Bye for now.
