00:00:01.344 --> 00:00:03.871
Hello, hello, hello and welcome back.

00:00:03.871 --> 00:00:21.530
It is Wednesday, it's a powerful Wednesday, it's Action Wednesday, joe, and it is another episode of Electric Pernurse Secrets, the Electricians podcast, where a couple of no-name dudes, one from north of the border, one from south, try to help you master sales, simplify pricing and deliver premium-level electrical service.

00:00:21.530 --> 00:00:27.928
I said no names as a bit of a joke, but really I'm the pleasant peasant and you, sir, are the sales bot, also known as Gratitude.

00:00:27.928 --> 00:00:29.635
Mr Joseph Lucani.

00:00:29.635 --> 00:00:30.640
How are you doing today, brother?

00:00:31.181 --> 00:00:32.323
Man, it's been a great day.

00:00:32.323 --> 00:00:33.406
It really has.

00:00:33.406 --> 00:00:41.837
It's one of those things where, like you ever started, a day where you wake up and you have two directions is either I can go back to bed or I can just get up and get it.

00:00:41.837 --> 00:00:46.366
I chose the latter and it has just been great.

00:00:46.366 --> 00:00:47.524
It's been great.

00:00:47.722 --> 00:00:49.923
I ended up hitting the 75E Challenge.

00:00:49.923 --> 00:00:52.951
I did legs today, so my legs are like trembling throughout.

00:00:52.951 --> 00:00:56.468
The majority of the day had my moments of prayer.

00:00:56.468 --> 00:01:02.090
I had all this good stuff in the right direction and I feel like I was set to take on the day before 7AM.

00:01:03.374 --> 00:01:04.537
I chose the former.

00:01:04.537 --> 00:01:06.465
I was mad even when you said that.

00:01:06.465 --> 00:01:06.947
Why?

00:01:06.947 --> 00:01:08.352
Because I'm on the negative side.

00:01:08.352 --> 00:01:10.421
I'm trying to drag you down with me.

00:01:10.421 --> 00:01:12.084
Homie, I'm just kidding.

00:01:12.084 --> 00:01:16.703
I'm not going to do that to you, but I did wake up, sir, on the wrong side of the bed.

00:01:16.703 --> 00:01:18.387
Here's what happened.

00:01:18.387 --> 00:01:21.081
I forgot I booked a meeting early for our team this morning.

00:01:21.784 --> 00:01:31.061
And then I stayed in bed a little bit longer, two dogs cuddling me right, and I'm like, ah, I could chill for another 10 or 15 and just do my grace a little bit longer.

00:01:31.061 --> 00:01:34.049
And next thing you know, it's like, okay, it's 630.

00:01:34.049 --> 00:01:37.465
I'm going to go to the gym and I'm like, oh shit, I got a meeting at 7.

00:01:37.465 --> 00:01:38.608
Damn it.

00:01:39.251 --> 00:01:42.019
So, totally gapped out, totally gapped out.

00:01:42.019 --> 00:01:44.367
I got to tell you something about this little chat, though.

00:01:44.367 --> 00:01:45.492
Sure, go for it.

00:01:45.492 --> 00:01:55.134
Yesterday was the first time I got on a call with someone might have been Monday, actually where they said I asked them if they listened to the podcast often and they're like you know what.

00:01:55.134 --> 00:01:58.686
I tried once I got a few minutes in, but you guys were just shooting the shit so I left.

00:01:58.686 --> 00:02:03.001
That's the first time that's happened.

00:02:03.001 --> 00:02:07.897
So if you're with us engaging live right now, I need you to help me with a quick vote.

00:02:07.897 --> 00:02:15.728
If you're live in the Electroponics Secrets Facebook group, then tell us do you want more bullshitting or less bullshitting, and just more straight to the facts.

00:02:15.728 --> 00:02:17.953
We'll adjust, we can adjust.

00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:20.325
At the end of the day, we're here to serve.

00:02:20.325 --> 00:02:23.336
Obviously, we enjoy our time together.

00:02:23.336 --> 00:02:26.370
I get to talk to my best friend and a partner on a regular basis.

00:02:26.370 --> 00:02:29.342
I'm a happy man Anytime I have the opportunity to be asked with you, man.

00:02:30.082 --> 00:02:30.484
Likewise.

00:02:30.484 --> 00:02:37.370
Hey, man living a passion here, definitely a bit of a passion project mixed with really really helping people.

00:02:37.370 --> 00:02:50.181
As per one of our listeners who I mentioned yesterday and I didn't have the number down it was $14,300 sale and that was his mid or high tier take.

00:02:50.181 --> 00:02:56.868
But either way, it was this full, beautiful message from our friend Bailey who said hey, you guys truly give away too much.

00:02:56.868 --> 00:03:02.051
I don't know how you do this, but thank you so much, and I got to have a little meeting with Bailey yesterday.

00:03:02.051 --> 00:03:09.377
I'm super appreciative of everyone who just takes action on this stuff and starts seeing the wins, because you're the heroes.

00:03:09.377 --> 00:03:12.866
We're just offering a little bit of guidance, helping any way we can.

00:03:12.866 --> 00:03:15.151
Yeah, no one ever thinks the GPS.

00:03:15.700 --> 00:03:16.163
You know what I mean.

00:03:16.163 --> 00:03:20.885
Like, at the end of the day, when you say I'm getting in the core and I'm going somewhere, you don't say the GPS got you there.

00:03:21.447 --> 00:03:26.949
But it made it a hell of a lot easier to do so Then going blind and going back in the 90s and taking map quest.

00:03:26.949 --> 00:03:28.131
You know what I mean.

00:03:28.131 --> 00:03:30.830
So, like I get it, I understand we're coming from it, bailey.

00:03:30.830 --> 00:03:32.018
I respect you, brother.

00:03:32.018 --> 00:03:38.492
I'm really glad you had some success, as well as everyone else in the background that's listening, took something away and was able to make some wins out of it.

00:03:38.600 --> 00:03:39.975
Yeah, man, totally All right.

00:03:39.975 --> 00:03:40.992
So throw up a comment.

00:03:40.992 --> 00:03:44.118
Do you want us to bullshit more or less about our personal things?

00:03:44.118 --> 00:03:47.550
We try to have a little bit of a laugh and a smile or two before we get going.

00:03:47.550 --> 00:03:52.504
Joe, today I named the episode and I called it fail safe electrical biz.

00:03:52.504 --> 00:03:53.347
Do you know why?

00:03:54.669 --> 00:04:00.972
Well, I'm open to learning about it, but I do believe that what we do and what we teach creates a fail safe business when properly implemented.

00:04:01.673 --> 00:04:02.955
That's a good take on it, man.

00:04:02.955 --> 00:04:04.057
I'm going to lead right into that.

00:04:04.057 --> 00:04:23.444
From the project, from the industrial background and a lot of industrial facilities, you have what we call an ESD loop, a fail safe emergency shutdown loop, so that, hey, in the case of an emergency, we hit a button that's going to break contact in that loop and ultimately shut down every process to make this place immediately safe.

00:04:23.903 --> 00:04:29.863
In case of a gas leak, in case of any situation, a human personnel emergency.

00:04:29.863 --> 00:04:33.233
Here's how I want to relate that into your business.

00:04:33.233 --> 00:04:35.843
Shouldn't we have that in your business?

00:04:35.843 --> 00:04:42.565
Shouldn't we know that we've got a string that serves us in making sure that this is a fail safe operation?

00:04:42.565 --> 00:05:13.927
If we're speaking specifically to a residential service company, then I believe this ties in perfectly with the quote anxiety, with answering to value, price objections, with knowing how to answer your phone and create that before value, so that you know for sure you can get to at least the 80, 90% of the doors that call you and be able to finish up and present your value and be able to have that reasonable, even a 70 to 80% conversion, so long as you can keep calls coming in.

00:05:13.927 --> 00:05:28.735
Make sure you can get to the door, make sure that you can present as that service provider they want to hire, make sure that you can present options that would actually serve the client and then make sure that you know how to do the exchange and take care of the fulfillment.

00:05:30.487 --> 00:05:33.937
Can we try to fit that all in one podcast, podcast episode?

00:05:33.937 --> 00:05:36.473
It'd be tight, but I'm willing to crack at it.

00:05:36.473 --> 00:05:44.064
Okay, here's what inspired me, I think, just this morning, when I dropped in on class, this topic came up and it comes up time to time.

00:05:44.064 --> 00:05:45.447
We've talked about it before.

00:05:45.447 --> 00:05:46.187
Let's hit it again.

00:05:46.187 --> 00:06:00.098
If someone's phoning my electrical business service call but they're tire kicking on the phone, I mentioned a really important story that I liked this morning about a time where you were tire kicking on the phone trying to investigate the competition.

00:06:00.098 --> 00:06:01.831
Would you please share that to start us off?

00:06:02.225 --> 00:06:02.968
Yes, I would love to.

00:06:02.968 --> 00:06:07.026
So when we were first starting my business, I was 22 years old, like you know.

00:06:07.026 --> 00:06:11.117
I knew electric, but I didn't know anything really about running a business.

00:06:11.117 --> 00:06:17.817
So, like you always say, with the race at the bottom, I'm just going to try and do it a little bit cheaper than someone else.

00:06:17.817 --> 00:06:35.154
So what we did was I was, I remember, sitting in my house trying to look up on the computer, all the people in our area and I was making calls and saying, hey, I'm getting a quote for a generator and I'm just trying to get like a ballpark estimate of what you guys might be at.

00:06:35.154 --> 00:06:35.997
So I know how to proceed.

00:06:35.997 --> 00:06:43.125
And a lot of times people would just be like, yeah, we're about this, and they would just give me a range with no name nowhere are you located?

00:06:43.125 --> 00:06:44.673
No, what are you looking to do?

00:06:44.673 --> 00:06:46.160
Nothing, it's about this much.

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:47.105
You're looking for an automatic go.

00:06:47.386 --> 00:06:51.259
It's just a brief timeout to say, obviously that's not the way to proceed.

00:06:51.259 --> 00:06:55.218
If you're running your company running your phones, please do not get them a price over the phone.

00:06:55.218 --> 00:06:56.105
Continue, my brother.

00:06:56.105 --> 00:06:57.226
Yes 100%.

00:06:57.927 --> 00:07:18.158
So what I found was that when I was asked certain questions, it caused me to pause, and the questions weren't actually ones that you'd think would cause you to stumble, and what it was was what's your name, what's your number, where are you located?

00:07:18.158 --> 00:07:33.853
And I remember, if I gave more than one bit of information, I felt like I was really under the microscope and that someone would actually continue to call me or knock on my door, and I didn't want to do that because I had my service van in the driveway.

00:07:35.547 --> 00:07:36.290
I didn't want that.

00:07:36.531 --> 00:07:37.112
I didn't want it.

00:07:37.112 --> 00:07:40.153
I could see that Just trying to investigate price here.

00:07:40.213 --> 00:07:40.713
Leave me alone.

00:07:40.713 --> 00:07:41.896
I don't want to tell you my stuff.

00:07:42.646 --> 00:07:53.790
So the thing was, I actually had a situation like that happen where, eventually, I gave the guy my number and he just kept calling and calling and calling until I eventually was like, hey, man, I went with someone else, I got a cheaper price, sorry.

00:07:53.790 --> 00:08:09.012
The thing that really threw me, though, was that when you actually do the research into why it's that, when you give your name, your number and your address, you are putting your hand up saying I'm a real person.

00:08:09.012 --> 00:08:11.016
This is the I'm not a robot button.

00:08:11.016 --> 00:08:20.396
I'm actually trying to get information, and once you give it, the momentum starts to swing to well, I've already given you all my information.

00:08:20.396 --> 00:08:21.197
Yeah, you want to come out?

00:08:21.197 --> 00:08:21.838
Fine, just come out.

00:08:22.886 --> 00:08:25.471
Compared to I haven't given you the information.

00:08:25.471 --> 00:08:26.733
I want a ballpark.

00:08:26.733 --> 00:08:28.815
If you don't give it to me, I've got the control.

00:08:28.815 --> 00:08:29.937
I can hang up the phone right now.

00:08:29.937 --> 00:08:43.125
So such a slight tweak not only helps you do better service, but actually starts actually qualifying your content, or qualifying your customer, before they even realize it.

00:08:43.125 --> 00:08:56.894
A tire quicker will not give you this information or, if nothing else, even even an autistic individual who doesn't pick up on social cues will realize that people are starting to judge you or ask and be like something's not smelling right in this call.

00:08:57.826 --> 00:09:00.470
All right, awesome man, huge value right there.

00:09:00.470 --> 00:09:11.125
So already in this single podcast we've been able to answer to the first potential stumbling block in your service electrical biz, where people call and they're tire kicking and want to price over the phone.

00:09:11.125 --> 00:09:13.109
What's going to happen next?

00:09:13.109 --> 00:09:15.495
There's no price low enough that you could say, oh boy.

00:09:15.495 --> 00:09:19.043
Where they would actually say to you, oh boy, you better get over here now and do this.

00:09:19.043 --> 00:09:20.125
I got to catch this price.

00:09:20.125 --> 00:09:22.067
That will never happen.

00:09:22.067 --> 00:09:23.831
You know it, I know it, joe knows it.

00:09:24.511 --> 00:09:28.919
So we've got to overcome that and those simple questions that are in your CRM anyways.

00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:39.059
If you'll just get back to the script, if you'll just get back to how do or what information do I need to collect from this person, you'll begin to weed out those tire kickers already.

00:09:39.059 --> 00:09:43.727
Everyone on board here, I, I, okay.

00:09:43.727 --> 00:09:50.181
So the next challenge is, honestly, I mean, let's go through the process just at a high level and find that challenge.

00:09:50.181 --> 00:09:52.063
Are we going to have trouble getting to the door?

00:09:52.063 --> 00:09:53.909
Well, probably not.

00:09:53.909 --> 00:09:55.214
They're expecting us now, right.

00:09:55.214 --> 00:09:57.611
Yeah, we're going to have trouble getting an invite into the house?

00:09:58.285 --> 00:10:04.254
Well, probably not they're expecting us to come in and look now, right, let's avoid even talking about going to the panel first.

00:10:04.254 --> 00:10:13.572
Let's just focus on the real stumbling blocks here that could absolutely destroy your conversions and or ability to have a fail-safe electrical biz.

00:10:13.572 --> 00:10:17.591
Ok, I'm all yours Calls can come in and I can get into the house.

00:10:17.591 --> 00:10:18.452
Then I'm up.

00:10:18.452 --> 00:10:21.389
Process one check.

00:10:22.006 --> 00:10:22.128
Mm-hmm.

00:10:23.465 --> 00:10:35.052
Developing options, and what we're answering to here really is can I create a situation where this client chooses me 80% of the time, assuming I've qualified them?

00:10:35.052 --> 00:10:36.908
Do you see it that way?

00:10:36.908 --> 00:10:38.730
This is almost like bumpers.

00:10:38.730 --> 00:10:40.150
We've described it like that before.

00:10:40.150 --> 00:10:41.669
It's like going with bumpers up.

00:10:41.669 --> 00:10:43.250
We know what we're trying to do.

00:10:43.250 --> 00:10:44.370
We know what we're trying to accomplish.

00:10:44.370 --> 00:10:50.110
I don't know how many pins I'm going to knock down, but with the bumpers up, we're just going to get through there and knock some down.

00:10:50.110 --> 00:10:50.751
Go ahead, brother.

00:10:50.751 --> 00:10:51.114
Yeah.

00:10:51.605 --> 00:10:56.774
No, I actually love that example and I think what we're doing is pretty much reverse engineering at this point.

00:10:56.774 --> 00:11:07.274
Yeah, because we've realized and granted, when you said, let's even forget about going to the panel at the front door, that like uh calls a cringe moment, because I feel like that's a huge value add right there.

00:11:07.274 --> 00:11:10.208
Yeah, but for the sake of the exercise, I understand where you're coming from.

00:11:10.208 --> 00:11:23.095
Now, when it comes to the option design, I feel like that's adding such a level of value and distinction Because the average contractor doesn't even present in person.

00:11:23.095 --> 00:11:28.886
Then, in addition to that, they usually only offer one bottom option.

00:11:28.886 --> 00:11:33.789
Maybe the best of them are offering good, better best, but they're presenting it from the bottom up.

00:11:34.924 --> 00:11:53.134
When we can learn how to design options that not only focus on the immediate thing they called me for, it connects to say what else is directly related to what you called me for, acknowledging what's already good in the home and then being able to directly tie the what else we found.

00:11:53.134 --> 00:12:05.730
Now we're creating a situation to where we're able to emotionally engage with the customer on a relevant finding that improves their quality of life, their convenience or their safety.

00:12:05.730 --> 00:12:10.990
At that point, very few people will say, no, I don't value quality.

00:12:10.990 --> 00:12:12.971
No, I don't value reliability.

00:12:12.971 --> 00:12:14.490
No, I don't value safety.

00:12:14.490 --> 00:12:25.571
If nothing else, you've earned the right to them to turn their ear to you, and if you have someone willing to listen and you've already been someone they like, trust and respect this is your job to lose at this point, isn't it?

00:12:26.485 --> 00:12:28.986
100%, 100%.

00:12:28.986 --> 00:12:39.092
By creating those options obviously just to summarize that you're creating a greater potential for anyone who you've qualified to work with you.

00:12:39.092 --> 00:12:46.154
So the challenge just is at this point, can I create options three to six, even?

00:12:46.154 --> 00:12:48.010
Let's back it up again.

00:12:48.010 --> 00:12:54.072
I'm going to violate our own concerns here and saying, yeah, we want you to do six, but even three to six options.

00:12:54.072 --> 00:12:57.190
I'm going to commit to options and I'm going to commit to presenting in person.

00:12:57.190 --> 00:13:01.011
Are we a more field safe operation at this point.

00:13:01.764 --> 00:13:02.668
The thing you just said.

00:13:02.668 --> 00:13:03.831
There was huge.

00:13:03.831 --> 00:13:08.909
Ok, guys, I'm going to put up if there was a way I can hold up a neon sign and I'm flashing.

00:13:08.909 --> 00:13:11.091
I'm like the wacky wavling arms guy.

00:13:11.091 --> 00:13:16.874
Picture me like this right now, present in person.

00:13:16.874 --> 00:13:23.529
It has to be that way and if I could just touch on the Y, if that's OK, please jump in then.

00:13:24.044 --> 00:13:34.855
So anytime you guys send an emailed quote over what you're saying to the customer, subconsciously is either A this conversation isn't worth my time.

00:13:34.855 --> 00:13:36.690
You either take it or you don't.

00:13:36.690 --> 00:13:46.187
B it assumes that the customer has just as much knowledge electrically as you do and that they should know everything that's in this breakdown you just sent them over.

00:13:46.187 --> 00:13:51.428
And three, it shows how little you actually care about getting this job.

00:13:51.428 --> 00:14:05.993
An expression that came to my attention when I was learning this was if I'm not even willing to show up to get the money, would I be willing to show up when it's a warranty call and I need to give you the money?

00:14:06.515 --> 00:14:07.559
Hmm, deep thought.

00:14:08.302 --> 00:14:08.482
Mm-hmm.

00:14:08.482 --> 00:14:11.023
And the odds are what do you tell into the customer at this point?

00:14:11.023 --> 00:14:14.202
If I won't even do this, I'm just going to send you an email and wait.

00:14:14.202 --> 00:14:22.785
You won't be able to handle objections, you won't be able to pick up on their articulations, you won't be able to pick up on their body language, their tonality, the in-person effects.

00:14:22.785 --> 00:14:25.422
There's so much being missed by not being in person.

00:14:25.975 --> 00:14:29.429
To go back to the ESD loop in this fail-safe industrial operation.

00:14:29.429 --> 00:14:38.302
That's the equivalent of going back to your office off location and running a remote shutdown switch with no understanding of what's actually happening on site.

00:14:38.302 --> 00:14:41.041
Mm-hmm, you have no information.

00:14:41.041 --> 00:14:43.623
How can we collect or make any decisions at that point?

00:14:43.623 --> 00:14:52.183
And, from as far as I can tell, in building this fail-safe operation, every business has the same single standard that has to be met.

00:14:52.183 --> 00:15:06.345
Mm-hmm, the person running the business has to be a professional that believes in their business and they need to be able to go and articulate that to a customer or a prospect Right.

00:15:06.345 --> 00:15:07.405
Think about networking.

00:15:07.405 --> 00:15:08.347
Think about marketing.

00:15:08.347 --> 00:15:09.328
Think about your offer.

00:15:09.328 --> 00:15:11.860
If you don't believe in it, why would they?

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:18.760
If you see someone who believes in their offer, truly believes, I mean, you've spoken to someone.

00:15:18.760 --> 00:15:20.320
Think about today's age.

00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:28.419
We don't go political very often, but have you ever talked to someone with a strong belief in a principle that you disagreed with?

00:15:28.419 --> 00:15:30.445
How frustrating is that conversation?

00:15:30.572 --> 00:15:33.427
It is, and it takes a lot to get under my skin.

00:15:33.427 --> 00:15:45.202
I mean, you've seen me in some very unusual conversations, but the goal is is that it doesn't matter what the other person says, as long as you're willing to not be tied to the outcome.

00:15:45.202 --> 00:15:56.263
What I mean by that is, when someone has an opposition, it's not you versus them, it's you and them versus the problem.

00:15:56.263 --> 00:16:15.658
And if you can always get on the right side of the line with the client, you'll find that a lot of these arguments can start to dissipate very quickly, simply by you saying I understand, I'm going to acknowledge what you're saying, I'm going to reframe what I'm saying so that it's lying parallel to what you're talking about, and then I'm going to make my case again.

00:16:17.263 --> 00:16:24.841
Nailed it and you just tied us right into the next piece, which I believe is that value, price objection, the articulation of that objection.

00:16:24.841 --> 00:16:36.527
Handle and understanding your value and being confident and being able to speak to it with the level of conviction that we just described, like when someone truly believes something right.

00:16:36.527 --> 00:16:40.865
I'm talking about like try and talk a Christian out of Christianity here.

00:16:40.865 --> 00:16:43.461
That's how much you need to believe in your cause.

00:16:43.461 --> 00:16:56.703
That's how much your why needs to be the forefront of your operation If you don't believe in it that much and you start losing debates about whether you're valuable or not, isn't that a massive red flag?

00:16:56.703 --> 00:17:02.085
So we've assumed you can take a lead, know how to get to their house.

00:17:02.634 --> 00:17:20.705
We've now had the ability to create options and create a presentation where you can speak to what the needs are and that you can articulate the value as the owner and or representative of this company to the ceiling, to the absolute ceiling of what you believe it is.

00:17:20.705 --> 00:17:42.284
If you could do all of that and we missed something so far, but it's important and this really is before or after, wherever you want to put it you got to be able to believe in that price If you ran the pricing exercise and then you went to the door and built your options out of anything less than your service rate.

00:17:42.284 --> 00:17:50.665
I'm sorry, my friend, but that reflects your confidence in your value and it reflects your fail safe electrical biz operation.

00:17:50.665 --> 00:17:52.778
Does that make sense, joe?

00:17:53.500 --> 00:17:58.665
It really does, and I feel like a lot of times we will face price objections.

00:17:58.665 --> 00:18:03.375
No matter what you do, if you're a premium service provider you're obviously going to come in.

00:18:03.375 --> 00:18:06.846
I mean one and a half times, two times, three times.

00:18:06.846 --> 00:18:10.124
I mean there have been times I've been as much as five times more than my competition.

00:18:10.124 --> 00:18:16.498
It's not fun being in that circumstance, but at the same time there was never a moment where I didn't believe I was worth it.

00:18:16.498 --> 00:18:27.022
The moment that you're willing to lower the price even prior to getting the objection, that shows I didn't believe that I'm worth this.

00:18:27.022 --> 00:18:38.596
Or the fear of rejection is so great that, preemptively, I'm going to lower it, just on the chance that I can avoid this confrontation 100%.

00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:59.537
All that's left here, guys really crushing all of this value into a single episode is the after value, and if you don't realize yet, we're hinting back to a value piece that we gave away with this value, price objection handle, and it's the before, during and after value.

00:18:59.576 --> 00:19:21.771
And we've just touched on that when, before, you spoke to a real person trained in getting to the root cause and helping you get solutions to your problem, getting a real master electrician to the door to help you with that during value and provide everything that has gone into the value offer that we have and that we articulate.

00:19:22.714 --> 00:19:57.818
And now the after value, meaning after you choose one of our options, when you fall into the 80% as a new client to service loop electrical, we're also going to take care of you after your failure by communicating further at different touch points to also address other things we found in your home that you did not correct yet, to also offer you club memberships with advanced VIP level service, to also talk to you when we're in your neighborhood, to also service your neighbors and make sure that everyone around you has that same level of service.

00:19:57.818 --> 00:20:06.547
What that implies, then, is that we're not just looking at new leads all the time we're also serving the old leads over and over and over.

00:20:06.547 --> 00:20:16.577
And that, my friends, in 20 minutes flat with three minutes of us bullshitting, is some people can't tolerate is how you create a failsafe electrical biz.

00:20:16.577 --> 00:20:18.301
The question is are you doing it?

00:20:18.301 --> 00:20:25.903
Do you have those simple processes in order, cut through all the shit, all the fat, and just answer that?

00:20:25.903 --> 00:20:29.234
Is that a mic drop moment?

00:20:30.056 --> 00:20:40.013
I'm sitting here just for those who can't see me right now, I am just beaming, beaming with pride for my partner, because everything you just said was literally hot mic.

00:20:41.056 --> 00:20:41.557
Thank you, man.

00:20:41.557 --> 00:20:46.744
I'm a 30,000 foot view guide and today, this morning, it just kind of hit me in that way.

00:20:46.744 --> 00:20:51.577
And what we're talking about this week is perfectly relevant because it fits right in the middle.

00:20:51.577 --> 00:20:54.723
Why do I have anxiety over my pricing and my offer?

00:20:54.723 --> 00:20:58.152
Why am I having trouble overcoming that?

00:20:58.152 --> 00:21:00.153
Why don't I believe in my pricing?

00:21:00.153 --> 00:21:02.614
Why won't I deliver in person?

00:21:02.614 --> 00:21:05.497
Why do I email it over?

00:21:05.497 --> 00:21:06.439
These are all questions.

00:21:06.439 --> 00:21:08.801
Why do I keep giving a price over the phone?

00:21:08.801 --> 00:21:11.665
Why, when people ask for a price over the phone, can't I get to them?

00:21:11.665 --> 00:21:15.069
Why, when I found my price, my discounting it at all?

00:21:15.069 --> 00:21:20.866
And why, when we're done serving someone who's proven to be our customers at the last time that we talked to them?

00:21:20.866 --> 00:21:25.544
Those are all valuable and heavy questions, aren't they?

00:21:25.544 --> 00:21:32.122
And if you just solve those five, six, wise, what would be your problem then?

00:21:32.122 --> 00:21:33.997
Keeping?

00:21:34.037 --> 00:21:34.398
up the work.

00:21:36.615 --> 00:21:46.887
Yeah, keep it up with the work, get a more staff to do the work, keeping up with all the happy customers that you have, prioritizing club members and intent behind the sale.

00:21:46.887 --> 00:21:49.596
Henry's with that.

00:21:49.596 --> 00:21:53.406
Thank you, henry, for the vulnerability Henry says ask for the sales when I struggle with.

00:21:53.406 --> 00:21:55.938
Definitely, brother, there's work to do.

00:21:55.938 --> 00:21:57.200
You can do it, though.

00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:58.181
We believe in you.

00:21:58.181 --> 00:22:00.304
We've got tons of value for you, henry.

00:22:00.423 --> 00:22:07.257
Anyone who's willing to get vulnerable, hold that mirror up and just ask themselves those questions when are we stuck and why?

00:22:07.257 --> 00:22:17.349
If you know what, if you didn't quite figure it out yet and put this episode on repeat, listen to it again and I bet you that'll help joe as a base action today.

00:22:17.349 --> 00:22:19.738
Why you guys to consider that?

00:22:19.738 --> 00:22:21.580
Listen to this one again.

00:22:21.580 --> 00:22:22.323
I'm gonna save.

00:22:22.323 --> 00:22:31.585
It is one of our favorites that I'm gonna be sharing going forward because we just simplified Service electrical and it's very, very valuable.

00:22:31.645 --> 00:22:35.998
I do feel that If you know what, we've actually got a few value pieces.

00:22:35.998 --> 00:22:47.230
So if you felt like you want to help it any one of these steps, all you have to do is comment on this podcast at the service that you're listening to it, or on our facebook group or on any of our posts today.

00:22:47.230 --> 00:22:49.519
What point did you need help?

00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:53.428
Was it in your brighter day call process and getting through those price objections?

00:22:53.428 --> 00:22:56.179
Is it the value price objection handle?

00:22:56.179 --> 00:22:57.922
And getting your pricing across.

00:22:57.922 --> 00:22:59.064
Is it the pricing tool?

00:22:59.064 --> 00:23:01.808
I'll give you anything you want that we talked about today.

00:23:02.214 --> 00:23:15.411
You just have to put your hand up and let us know, do you have a nice mind, I feel like I'm steamrolling this thing no, no, I love the fact that those are the three value pieces, because normally give away one and now we're given three times the value.

00:23:15.411 --> 00:23:16.131
I'm down with that.

00:23:16.131 --> 00:23:17.876
Give it away now.

00:23:17.876 --> 00:23:20.140
I do have an all star action, all right.

00:23:20.140 --> 00:23:35.548
Okay, the all star action is more of a beat down of one particular point that I mean very seriously, okay, and that is I feel that people are hiding from being in person because we're so afraid of the rejection.

00:23:36.516 --> 00:23:40.505
There is actually a concept of bushido that I want to apply to this.

00:23:40.505 --> 00:23:46.800
Okay, there's a concept that in bushido, you believe that you're already dead.

00:23:46.800 --> 00:23:59.523
Therefore the enemy has no power over you, because someone who's afraid of death will rush in and will surely die where someone walks in Accepting they're already dead and they'll surely win.

00:23:59.523 --> 00:24:22.147
What I'm trying to say in how I'm taking this a parallel, is, if you go into the call and you assume that you have to do in person one way or the other and that they're already gonna give you a price objection, but you're choosing to face it anyway, you will find that that confidence and that fearlessness prevents the objection in the first place.

00:24:23.675 --> 00:24:24.460
I like that a lot.

00:24:24.460 --> 00:24:32.449
It immediately makes me think I'm gonna assume the price objection on every single job, instead of waiting for it to sneak up on me.

00:24:32.449 --> 00:24:34.298
What does that mean about your training?

00:24:34.298 --> 00:24:35.682
What does that mean about your process?

00:24:35.682 --> 00:24:38.190
What does that mean about how you prepare for that situation?

00:24:38.190 --> 00:24:47.057
As you say with your favorite r r r Arnold calmer quote if you didn't bring it with you, you won't find it here, man, absolute fire.

00:24:47.499 --> 00:24:49.241
