18:09 - Access Dorian's Top Three Secrets

WEBVTT

00:00:02.323 --> 00:00:03.826
Hello, hello, hello.

00:00:03.826 --> 00:00:15.023
Welcome back to another episode of Electric Pinner Secrets, the Electricians podcast, where me and my usual partner, joe, who's off for the weekend happy Thanksgiving to our friends south of the border.

00:00:15.023 --> 00:00:23.696
We usually come here five days a week to help you master your sales, simplify your pricing and deliver premium-level electrical service.

00:00:23.696 --> 00:00:26.443
I hope you guys had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

00:00:26.443 --> 00:00:47.979
By the way, it is just me today, as I stated, and I wanted to go through a little bit of praise and feedback on Dorian's wonderful interview yesterday and all the hard work he's been putting in and talk to you guys about some of the reality of that situation building a business and, of course, this value piece that we're giving away for the first time.

00:00:47.979 --> 00:00:57.289
Hence there was one of Dorian's secrets to his absolute astronomical growth and making use of months, even where there's no call volume.

00:00:57.289 --> 00:00:59.055
And we're talking about this value piece.

00:00:59.055 --> 00:01:04.006
The service leads now action list and how important that is.

00:01:04.006 --> 00:01:15.453
To jump right into that one, let me just say it's important to recognize that most of us, as electricians, come up with this idea in mind.

00:01:15.453 --> 00:01:22.058
I mean, really it's taught to us about kind of move faster, get it done quicker, right?

00:01:22.058 --> 00:01:25.168
In fact, I've been on record saying this before.

00:01:25.168 --> 00:01:37.912
I was taught early on and I just about like wrecked my journeyman's knockout set working on a steel panel and I'm just giving her kind of first day right, just go, go, go, go, go, go, get it done and make an impression.

00:01:37.912 --> 00:01:46.114
And at the end of the day he was like yo, clay, I'm impressed, but, man, we get good and then we get fast.

00:01:46.114 --> 00:01:52.674
I learned later why he was able to say that he was the time and material guy.

00:01:52.674 --> 00:01:55.862
Right, this is a projectized company I used to work for.

00:01:55.862 --> 00:01:59.671
Anyone ever worked for the time and material companies, right.

00:01:59.671 --> 00:02:01.584
Anyone ever do time and material.

00:02:01.584 --> 00:02:04.233
It's a little bit different of a mindset.

00:02:04.233 --> 00:02:13.864
And so he was able to say to me Clay, we get good, then we get fast, don't wear yourself out, don't hurt yourself and don't abuse my knockout set.

00:02:15.707 --> 00:02:24.463
The next reality I learned as an apprentice, though, on a bid job on a project or flat rate, pricing is not the same concept, is it?

00:02:24.463 --> 00:02:28.355
It's no longer the pressure to get good, then get fast.

00:02:28.355 --> 00:02:36.466
It's now the pressure to be fast, be faster and break some damn land speed records on the installations that you're doing.

00:02:36.466 --> 00:02:40.657
And that's exactly what I proceeded to do in my career.

00:02:40.657 --> 00:02:55.086
As you guys know, I did a lot of projects in the background and so one of the things that set me apart early on as a second year apprentice was having carpentry background and so understanding actually conduit at a higher level.

00:02:55.086 --> 00:02:59.900
I got really good at rigid conduit in industrial situations.

00:03:01.403 --> 00:03:17.651
And so what happened was the consultant of this project these kind of cookie cutter compressor stations that we were building in Northeast BC he came and he said Clay, how long do you think it would take you to pipe this compressor building?

00:03:17.651 --> 00:03:20.938
And I had said to him well, ivan, we can.

00:03:20.938 --> 00:03:22.823
We could smash that out in three days.

00:03:22.823 --> 00:03:37.329
And the next thing I heard was the boss, the foreman of this project, come to me and, like I don't give timelines to the consultant without talking to me first, please, three days is really tight to pipe and wire this compressor.

00:03:37.329 --> 00:03:43.132
So what we did is I said hey, put a team around me, we're going to rock this thing right.

00:03:43.132 --> 00:03:53.756
We gave me a team and we smashed it out in three days, had it terminated in three and a half and the consultant came, gave me a high five and next thing, you know, I was running these projects before ever being ticketed.

00:03:54.941 --> 00:03:57.769
The point here is not to give myself a pat on the back.

00:03:57.769 --> 00:04:03.812
I just work hard for the things that I want in life and I'm sure many of you, if you're listening, probably the same way.

00:04:03.812 --> 00:04:20.036
Right In a service situation which we all love to focus on here at Electric Pernurseer secrets and service loop, electrical, of course, residential service should we be trying to rush that fast?

00:04:20.036 --> 00:04:20.939
That's the question.

00:04:20.939 --> 00:04:24.413
Should we be trying to rush every call?

00:04:24.413 --> 00:04:34.435
And so one of the beautiful things again congratulating Dorian from yesterday and that beautiful interview if you guys didn't get a chance to hear it, you're going to want to listen to that one.

00:04:34.495 --> 00:04:49.307
Go back to episode 206, dorian's interview and hear how he really pepped up his little business from part time making 40k a year to now full time and in the first quarter of business having earned over $200,000.

00:04:49.307 --> 00:04:59.250
What he did, also coming from an industrial background, is actually learn that this philosophy needed adjustment.

00:04:59.250 --> 00:05:02.761
The service leads now helps us with this.

00:05:02.761 --> 00:05:18.024
It helps us serve people at a higher level and adapt to service at a higher level, and really what that comes down to is the opposite of what we learned on all those bid projects or new home builds any of that.

00:05:18.024 --> 00:05:21.798
James says froze brother, all I can still see it going.

00:05:21.798 --> 00:05:28.396
So I'm not sure if that's everyone in Facebook land, but, apologies, we're frozen potentially there for James.

00:05:30.180 --> 00:05:39.517
What it means is that to turn that, that theory, that philosophy of rushing through leads around and spending more time with every lead.

00:05:39.517 --> 00:05:42.687
Here's the challenge.

00:05:42.687 --> 00:05:48.581
There's a scarcity mindset around that, and I don't blame you.

00:05:48.581 --> 00:05:54.754
What happens if I invest more time with every lead and I don't get a return?

00:05:54.754 --> 00:06:02.797
What happens if, instead of doing a 20 minute service call, get my $120 and get out of there?

00:06:02.797 --> 00:06:09.612
Or 150 or 180, you know, 40 minute service call, 180 bucks, get out of there?

00:06:09.612 --> 00:06:14.369
What happens if I stay for two hours, invest more time and they don't hire me after that?

00:06:14.369 --> 00:06:17.036
And that what happens if?

00:06:17.096 --> 00:06:23.492
Phrase is everything that's wrong with business and has been for a long time.

00:06:23.492 --> 00:06:26.059
What happens if?

00:06:26.059 --> 00:06:32.879
I mean, that's a delicate consideration, but it's driven from a place of scarcity, so let's flip it.

00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:38.475
What happens if we spend more time and they hire us but that causes them to keep hiring us?

00:06:38.475 --> 00:06:47.040
What happens if we invest a little more and taking care of every customer and that causes them to tell some other people about us?

00:06:47.040 --> 00:07:01.392
Right, take all those negative scarcity, what ifs and throw them out the window and instead let's move it forward and say what happens when call volume drops.

00:07:01.392 --> 00:07:15.125
Do I have a process in place to generate leads more from existing clients and create more momentum for my business without LSA toach and off?

00:07:15.125 --> 00:07:46.685
For me and that's one of the secrets that Dorian revealed yesterday in talking about the service leads now list what he revealed is that even in this month where call volume dropped the fuck off, there are still ways to generate revenue, and for him and just him, selling that turned into $58,000 in sales For many others in our program.

00:07:46.947 --> 00:07:52.065
When the call volume drops, what's most important here is they know exactly what to do.

00:07:52.065 --> 00:08:03.687
It's a complete shift of effort into what we already have under our nose and what we should have going for us full time.

00:08:03.687 --> 00:08:08.069
The lead generation is actually quite risky.

00:08:08.069 --> 00:08:09.906
Go back to a scarcity mindset.

00:08:09.906 --> 00:08:13.767
The risk is actually involved if we're getting all our leads from a single place.

00:08:13.767 --> 00:08:19.149
The risk actually comes with resting on our laurels.

00:08:19.149 --> 00:08:22.389
Hey, don't worry about its service loop electrical.

00:08:22.389 --> 00:08:27.060
We've been floating on LSA for years, for instance.

00:08:27.060 --> 00:08:29.648
That's a sign of danger.

00:08:29.648 --> 00:08:33.163
Actually, that's not a sign of strength.

00:08:33.163 --> 00:08:44.846
So service leads now speaks to one thing very, very highly rate off the bat and I want to share that with you now.

00:08:44.846 --> 00:08:47.506
It's a massive secret to lead generation.

00:08:47.506 --> 00:08:56.725
You guys want to hear that More conversations equal more work.

00:09:00.753 --> 00:09:04.828
One more time Conversations equal more work.

00:09:06.363 --> 00:09:07.528
Well, how is that possible?

00:09:07.528 --> 00:09:08.302
Let me explain.

00:09:08.302 --> 00:09:28.047
If you truly knew why you're doing what you're doing trying to be the best electrical service provider in Arizona, in Phoenix area, in Tulsa, oklahoma, in Louisiana, as for Dorian, wherever you are, if you're trying to be that person, why?

00:09:28.047 --> 00:09:30.464
Why do you want that?

00:09:30.464 --> 00:09:33.006
Why are you the best to hire?

00:09:33.006 --> 00:09:36.288
Why should every homeowner know your name?

00:09:36.288 --> 00:09:39.024
And grounding yourself in that?

00:09:39.105 --> 00:09:40.168
Then add the what?

00:09:40.168 --> 00:10:10.692
Here's why we're the best choice because we're going to take care of you and do it right, because we actually care about people, because I'm not here to collect a check, because I'm here to provide the absolute, best possible service, to make sure that you're taking care of, to make sure that all of my authentic skills, experience and authenticity go into drumming up six options for you from the finest we could possibly offer.

00:10:10.692 --> 00:10:24.643
You don't lift a finger except to write a check, all the way down to the most bare-bones, temporary, economical solution we could possibly provide for you, so that you have absolute control.

00:10:24.643 --> 00:10:27.743
If you had that.

00:10:27.743 --> 00:10:33.219
Why end the what figured out, like our offer, training, right?

00:10:33.219 --> 00:10:43.192
That goes through your pricing, your club memberships, how you finance it, your trip charges, the options you provide the club memberships, why you provide it, your craftsmanship guarantee.

00:10:43.299 --> 00:11:02.369
If you truly have all of that value laid out, just like we said earlier in the week, and you're able to articulate the why and the what and the how you're doing this, then wouldn't it be true to say that more conversations equals more work?

00:11:02.369 --> 00:11:06.951
Is this ringing true for you guys?

00:11:06.951 --> 00:11:16.240
Would there ever be a conversation in your community where you didn't kind of drop a little bit of that passion in there?

00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:31.893
If it was really all laid out, more conversations would equal more work, and that's been one of Dorian's secrets that he was speaking to yesterday and this service leads now sheet that we're giving away starts with that exact sentiment.

00:11:31.893 --> 00:11:40.594
We've never given this away, but it's occurred to us in the development of this podcast and this business.

00:11:42.142 --> 00:11:51.187
Right from the get-go, our philosophy has been to open an account for you and make a freaking deposit Because we want you to win.

00:11:51.187 --> 00:11:58.259
If you're listening to this right now, I don't need any credit, I don't need any fame, I don't need any money.

00:11:58.259 --> 00:12:12.993
I don't need anything from you other than to take action on these things and go win and then let us know it worked for you too, because that's what this is all about a community of electricians coming together to serve at a higher level.

00:12:12.993 --> 00:12:15.182
Get rid of all this.

00:12:15.182 --> 00:12:21.094
$90 an hour, $115 an hour, $135 an hour crap.

00:12:21.094 --> 00:12:23.187
I'm being undercut over here.

00:12:23.187 --> 00:12:26.109
Ev chargers can be installed for $200.

00:12:26.109 --> 00:12:29.697
They'll do it with a subpanel for $1,200.

00:12:29.697 --> 00:12:30.259
I read this every day.

00:12:30.259 --> 00:12:37.384
You guys are reading this every day on the group post, right, we all see it.

00:12:37.384 --> 00:12:42.240
And instead of bitching about it on Facebook, how about we do something about it?

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:44.072
How about we take an action?

00:12:44.072 --> 00:12:45.259
That's what we've done.

00:12:45.259 --> 00:12:47.534
We're giving all the secrets away.

00:12:47.534 --> 00:12:48.259
That's the irony.

00:12:48.259 --> 00:12:51.625
Electric printers secrets there are none.

00:12:52.681 --> 00:12:54.164
Strategy is not the problem.

00:12:54.164 --> 00:12:56.892
It never has been the proof.

00:12:56.892 --> 00:13:00.259
You want to increase your sales in your business?

00:13:00.259 --> 00:13:04.240
Go to Google and search how to increase sales in my small business.

00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.047
We won't be the only ones with strategies.

00:13:06.047 --> 00:13:07.703
You'll have to make it.

00:13:07.703 --> 00:13:10.191
You know, contour to your electrical service.

00:13:10.191 --> 00:13:17.292
But there's answers there and there are about a half billion of them in about half a second that come up.

00:13:17.292 --> 00:13:19.215
Thanks AI, thanks Google.

00:13:19.215 --> 00:13:23.051
Thank you for all your authentic, proven answers.

00:13:23.051 --> 00:13:25.486
They all work, you guys.

00:13:25.486 --> 00:13:28.534
So strategy is not the problem.

00:13:28.534 --> 00:13:29.259
It's never been the problem.

00:13:30.043 --> 00:13:34.035
I know there are people out there nay, saying, saying you guys give too much away.

00:13:34.035 --> 00:13:35.259
It's too much.

00:13:35.259 --> 00:13:36.991
You can't give all that away.

00:13:36.991 --> 00:13:38.259
You've ruined an industry.

00:13:38.259 --> 00:13:41.259
I've heard that before Guess what.

00:13:41.259 --> 00:13:47.259
We don't plan on stopping anytime soon, because if you want to build trust these days, you give it away.

00:13:47.259 --> 00:13:49.240
You want to change things.

00:13:49.240 --> 00:14:01.251
You want people to stop undercutting you and give them the tools to understand how to actually do their business Because, just like you, they didn't get a business education when they did their apprenticeship.

00:14:02.403 --> 00:14:06.168
No one taught me pricing, no one taught me marketing.

00:14:06.168 --> 00:14:08.566
No one taught me sales.

00:14:08.566 --> 00:14:12.277
Thanks, james.

00:14:12.277 --> 00:14:13.562
Tons of feedback today.

00:14:13.562 --> 00:14:14.485
Brother, I appreciate you.

00:14:14.485 --> 00:14:16.251
We're trying to help the industry.

00:14:16.251 --> 00:14:19.380
Absolutely no one teaches this stuff in the beginning.

00:14:19.380 --> 00:14:27.863
We're just trying to change that, and one of the best ways we've been able to do that is through this podcast.

00:14:27.863 --> 00:14:43.200
So I appreciate every one of you if you're listening, and one of the best ways we've been able to do that is through everyone, with the acceptance of our value pieces and the ability to take this and run with it and make something greater of yourselves.

00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:55.879
And one of the most amazing ways we've been able to do this is with my partner, who joined up, and I'll take a moment of thanks, being that it's proper right now, with Thanksgiving happening.

00:14:55.879 --> 00:15:00.921
I want to thank my partner right now.

00:15:00.921 --> 00:15:03.413
If he's listening to this or the replay, it doesn't matter.

00:15:03.413 --> 00:15:12.626
I want you guys to know why I'm so thankful for that fella, because having someone to co-pilot this mission has absolutely changed it.

00:15:13.048 --> 00:15:18.101
Many of you, if you're listening now or you've seen me in the past, it was a little bit smaller before this.

00:15:18.101 --> 00:15:24.313
We were still helping electricians, though still trying to give it away, still doing everything we could to push this thing.

00:15:24.313 --> 00:15:33.038
But on this inside track right, you guys have seen the podcast, you've seen Joe and you've witnessed some of his knowledge and his expertise.

00:15:33.038 --> 00:15:46.663
But on the inside track, I can tell you a little bit bias, but I've been through a lot of teachers and mentors in my life and I've never seen anyone teach like this fella that's usually beside me here.

00:15:46.663 --> 00:15:50.519
It's an incredible thing I'm talking.

00:15:50.519 --> 00:16:06.573
Have 20 contractors on a class with numerous people behind the screens, and he's got the ability to recognize faces, names and the order of which he called them and the problems they're facing and bring their solutions forward and then tie it back to other people.

00:16:06.573 --> 00:16:20.984
It's an absolute dance and it's no wonder that we've, at this point, reported over 4 million in electrical service provider wins within that inside track Service.

00:16:21.063 --> 00:16:38.456
Loop Electrical has changed so many lives to date and I'm so proud of this four electrician by electrician movement and I could not have done that without Joe's help to date, and the group that we have on the inside is an absolute testimony to that.

00:16:38.456 --> 00:16:42.363
It's the best electrician culture I've ever seen in my life.

00:16:42.363 --> 00:17:07.375
Again, though I'm biased, you'll have to take my word for it when a person came into our group last week I want to say maybe 10 days ago he literally said and this is a burn to me, right literally gave the feedback that we actually did a terrible job of explaining our program and that he wished he had joined it a year ago.

00:17:07.375 --> 00:17:11.864
So forgive me for talking about it on here at all.

00:17:11.864 --> 00:17:22.190
It seems like the right thing to do, given I've let people down who maybe wanted to see more, to know more, to learn more about how we're doing this and how life changing it is.

00:17:22.190 --> 00:17:28.406
I hate to see that again Someone say, wow, I should have been here a year ago.

00:17:28.406 --> 00:17:31.555
You guys really did something here.

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:35.343
That is the point.

00:17:35.343 --> 00:17:40.175
That's why we're here, that's why we're giving service leads now away.

00:17:40.175 --> 00:17:43.145
That's why we interviewed Dorian to help you guys.

00:17:43.145 --> 00:17:50.169
That's why we keep giving away all the electric printer secrets and that's why we bring you to the bank, our bank at Service Loop Electrical.

00:17:50.169 --> 00:18:08.076
We open an account for you, we give you a deposit and we try to help you realize that value by going out there and taking action so that you can be a premium service provider, too, with us, and I'm just so thankful for all of this and all of you.

00:18:08.076 --> 00:18:09.780
So thanks for joining me today.

00:18:09.861 --> 00:18:16.727

00:18:41.327 --> 00:18:44.478
