00:00:01.663 --> 00:00:08.034
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to another episode of Electricpreneur Secrets, the Electricians podcast.

00:00:08.034 --> 00:00:10.848
Hi, I'm Clay Neumeier and this is Joseph Likani.

00:00:10.848 --> 00:00:14.946
We're the Electricpreneurs, two master electricians with business addictions.

00:00:14.946 --> 00:00:18.849
Welcome to the freemium program in your daily coach call.

00:00:18.849 --> 00:00:24.512
We've got one thing today, one very big thing how to introduce offer changes to old clients.

00:00:24.512 --> 00:00:27.425
This seems to be a real stumbling point.

00:00:27.425 --> 00:00:28.730
And guess what?

00:00:28.730 --> 00:00:32.421
The investment for this call for you, free, you get to take this.

00:00:32.421 --> 00:00:35.350
Just promise to take everything we give and take action with it.

00:00:35.350 --> 00:00:41.463

00:00:41.463 --> 00:00:47.310
Just promise to also report the wins back to us and we'll be too, too happy to help you with that.

00:00:47.310 --> 00:00:48.412
Joe, how are you doing today, brother?

00:00:49.021 --> 00:00:50.045
I'm doing great today.

00:00:50.045 --> 00:00:51.625
It was had an awesome class.

00:00:51.625 --> 00:00:53.905
I feel like we had a really good start to the day.

00:00:53.905 --> 00:00:55.189
Energy is doing well.

00:00:55.189 --> 00:00:56.924
We're both recovering from being sick.

00:00:56.924 --> 00:00:59.484
Life is good and it's a great day to have a great day.

00:01:00.148 --> 00:01:03.588
Yeah, I don't know about like fully recovered, but I'm in the stage change.

00:01:03.588 --> 00:01:10.192
I went from sore throat, barely sleeping, to now just kind of congested, which is a welcome change, man.

00:01:10.192 --> 00:01:11.686
I'm in stage two of that cold.

00:01:11.686 --> 00:01:16.531
So, yeah, pumped up, got a little dayquil energy in me ready to run for these guys.

00:01:17.201 --> 00:01:18.206
I'm with you as well, man.

00:01:18.206 --> 00:01:20.146
It's literally one of those things where you know what.

00:01:20.146 --> 00:01:25.191
It doesn't matter how sick you are, but when you have your energy back, oh, isn't it such a game changer.

00:01:25.191 --> 00:01:26.965
We're like oh, I can actually decide to move today.

00:01:26.965 --> 00:01:27.649
It's a good idea.

00:01:28.391 --> 00:01:30.120
Totally, man, totally, totally.

00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.084
You know what I'm excited about this topic.

00:01:33.084 --> 00:01:38.043
Here's why, okay, I myself have experienced this, you've experienced this.

00:01:38.043 --> 00:01:40.224
How many of us have experienced this?

00:01:40.224 --> 00:02:02.460
Where we have kind of the old clients that we fear losing, we kind of hang on to and we're really adverse to change in how we deal with them, even when we upgrade to more options, even when we get our pricing right, even when we're adding club memberships, let's say, or any of these other offer pieces that we train.

00:02:02.460 --> 00:02:04.105
Joe, can you help me speak to this a bit?

00:02:04.527 --> 00:02:04.727
Yes.

00:02:04.727 --> 00:02:12.304
So the main fear point usually comes from you don't want to lose what you feel you already have in that.

00:02:12.304 --> 00:02:14.849
Let's say, year one, you worked with this client.

00:02:14.849 --> 00:02:23.906
You were cheaper, you were newer, you were green as a garden hose, you were ready to go, you wanted to serve bread eye and bushy tail and as a result, the customer worked for you.

00:02:23.906 --> 00:02:27.305
They're like yeah, you know what We'll sign, you could be our electrician.

00:02:27.305 --> 00:02:32.550
But your business grows year after year after year, your service grows and as a result, so do your rates.

00:02:32.550 --> 00:02:36.650
So do the things that do when you need to change how you serve your clients.

00:02:36.650 --> 00:02:49.127
But when you're in that place people are like I don't want to implement new changes with this customer because if I put changes in they're not going to want to hire me and I'll lose the longstanding business that I had with them.

00:02:49.127 --> 00:02:51.665
But it's the wrong way of looking at it.

00:02:52.759 --> 00:03:08.831
And can I just say, like quick time out here A lot of times, especially when we see in our rate changes, when clients come into our program and realize, holy shit, I can't be at 130 an hour, I ought to be at 296, 343, 425.

00:03:08.831 --> 00:03:14.963
And then you hang on to the 130 an hour clients or we see this with, like the time and material versus flat rate.

00:03:14.963 --> 00:03:25.787
If this is a real big upgrade for you and you're still time and material for some of those older clients, you got to recognize that that is digging a hole and what that's consuming in your schedule.

00:03:25.787 --> 00:03:34.584
If we don't fix that, you're going to be maxed out so much sooner with your potential because it's just working, it's overworked and underpaid.

00:03:34.584 --> 00:03:35.824
It's the same old problem, right?

00:03:36.346 --> 00:03:47.325
Yeah, and it's also a scarcity mindset where you have this fear that let's say you have 10 clients and three of them are legacy clients, their original year one clients.

00:03:47.325 --> 00:03:52.408
You're worried that if I give up these three clients I won't get three more.

00:03:52.408 --> 00:04:01.770
And that's the biggest issue because if you've improved the way you're serving your client then theoretically you should attract more business, not less.

00:04:01.770 --> 00:04:06.913
You're not raising the price and then just doing the same work for more expensive rate.

00:04:06.913 --> 00:04:08.491
That's the kiss of death.

00:04:08.491 --> 00:04:19.601
You're raising your rate with the promise of increased or higher levels of service, so that shift needs to happen before any change happens right, totally, man.

00:04:20.043 --> 00:04:30.524
And then it ties back to what we were talking about yesterday, where people tend to fear that price increase or having change with old clients just because of that scarcity mindset that you're mentioning.

00:04:30.524 --> 00:04:34.824
But what that leads to is it's a symptom of a different kind of problem.

00:04:34.824 --> 00:04:46.093
It's like if that were actually the case, if everyone's going to abandon me because of my service improvement A do I need to market more and just get more leads?

00:04:46.093 --> 00:04:50.007
But B how realistic is it that we actually lose people?

00:04:50.007 --> 00:04:54.264
I mean, if they're really in this with us, there's got to be a way, right.

00:04:55.245 --> 00:05:03.370
Yeah, and realistically this may sound a little weird, but even if they did drop off and they left you, you'd still be better off.

00:05:03.790 --> 00:05:13.206
And the logic is this let's say we're in that situation where you were previously 130 an hour time of material and your new rate is going to be at 315.295.

00:05:13.206 --> 00:05:22.430
Just considering the drastic difference in the two rates, you taking on that job actually would cost you negative money.

00:05:22.430 --> 00:05:25.305
You would be losing money just doing the job.

00:05:25.305 --> 00:05:31.656
And the problem is is that it takes your mental bandwidth, your emotional bandwidth, your physical time, takes material.

00:05:31.656 --> 00:05:34.795
It takes you delegating away from improving your processes.

00:05:34.795 --> 00:05:48.800
You literally would probably be doing a better job for all of your clients if they didn't hire you at your old rate and ended up just disappearing and riding off into the wind and you took that time and reallocated it into business development and growth.

00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:54.338
Or you're going back and reserving the clients you already have, so one.

00:05:54.338 --> 00:06:02.809
We're going to tell you how to keep from losing those clients, but I'm just addressing the elephant in the room and saying, even if you did, you're really not in a bad situation.

00:06:02.809 --> 00:06:04.072
You're probably better off.

00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:06.947
Yeah, that's hard to see it that way, isn't it?

00:06:06.947 --> 00:06:19.641
Like humans are infinitely capable of recognizing what we lose when a door closes, but inversely like we're infinitely incapable of recognizing what doors open when we shut the old one.

00:06:20.824 --> 00:06:24.252
Because it's almost like we're good at looking in hindsight but not looking in foresight.

00:06:25.060 --> 00:06:26.343
Totally Couple.

00:06:26.343 --> 00:06:29.732
Things we can't do right, we can't read minds and we can't predict the future.

00:06:30.500 --> 00:06:32.247
If we could, we'd be a very different kind of consultant.

00:06:32.660 --> 00:06:33.382
It would be different.

00:06:33.382 --> 00:06:34.706
It would be different men for sure.

00:06:34.706 --> 00:06:37.083
So this takes a bit of faith, for sure.

00:06:37.083 --> 00:06:39.273
But what are some steps then that we could take?

00:06:39.273 --> 00:06:40.899
Let's say, price increase.

00:06:40.899 --> 00:06:49.430
I'm going to move from maybe I'll add some complexity I'm going to move from time of material to a flat rate with a price increase.

00:06:49.430 --> 00:06:50.735
And now I'm offering options.

00:06:50.735 --> 00:06:51.620
Joe, should I?

00:06:51.620 --> 00:06:53.086
Just kiss this client goodbye.

00:06:53.870 --> 00:06:54.653
No, I'm excited.

00:06:54.653 --> 00:06:57.389
You can tell the hands are rubbing together, knuckles are cracked and I'm ready for that one.

00:06:57.692 --> 00:06:59.942
I was going to say I think I heard a full knuckle crack there.

00:07:00.202 --> 00:07:02.687
Oh yeah, that was it Right, my apologies.

00:07:02.687 --> 00:07:10.031
So I got excited on this one, because the three things that you just suggested are actually very easy to justify, right?

00:07:10.031 --> 00:07:13.350
Because what's the difference between flat rate and time of material?

00:07:13.350 --> 00:07:21.865
Time of material is I'm going to walk into the customer's home and I'm going to punch the clock and if they're talking to me, the clock is running.

00:07:21.865 --> 00:07:23.201
If I'm working, the clock is running.

00:07:23.201 --> 00:07:26.821
If I'm getting material, the clock is running, and it's very unpredictable.

00:07:26.821 --> 00:07:31.062
And because it's very unpredictable, the client often doesn't make premium choices.

00:07:31.062 --> 00:07:41.403
They're in a position to where they're like well, I don't know what this is gonna cost, get it done, let's get the cheapest price, because that's really all they can get and a couple other factors there, if I can just add.

00:07:41.714 --> 00:07:55.999
this is usually a situation where people start then trying to quantify their travel time to the client's house and charge for that, plus fuel, plus you know all the other crap that we add for charges, but also where a client starts hanging over you watching their watch going.

00:07:55.999 --> 00:07:57.956
Are you done yet, are you?

00:07:58.016 --> 00:07:58.297
done yet.

00:07:58.899 --> 00:07:59.360
Are you done yet?

00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.978
If that wasn't justified enough, I just wanted to throw that in there.

00:08:02.495 --> 00:08:03.117
No, that makes sense.

00:08:03.117 --> 00:08:12.942
But when you're going to a flat rate, or at least we consider a set number that we're like here we're giving you this rate that we've calculated that does not go above or below.

00:08:12.942 --> 00:08:18.603
This is a number we're guaranteeing it's gonna be done by Now the client can make an accurate choice.

00:08:18.603 --> 00:08:37.924
Because imagine, if you're doing it the time material way and you're like we're gonna do this and it's gonna cost somewhere between X and X if nothing goes wrong, compared to this is what the job's gonna cost in six different scenarios and it will never go up or below these numbers.

00:08:37.924 --> 00:08:41.458
All you have to do is just make a choice and not be happy to take care of it from there.

00:08:42.554 --> 00:08:49.462
Yeah, we take the risk and the best thing I love about this and this entire mindset shift, which is totally a more advanced lesson.

00:08:49.462 --> 00:08:50.860
But forgive me for jumping ahead.

00:08:50.860 --> 00:08:56.298
If it costs a little bit more than what you thought, it's okay.

00:08:56.298 --> 00:09:03.821
It's okay because if you did your pricing right, then you're following what we'd call the casino principle, which is the house always wins.

00:09:03.821 --> 00:09:05.681
You have to be priced that way.

00:09:05.681 --> 00:09:07.320
That's how businesses make it.

00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:07.861
Long term.

00:09:07.861 --> 00:09:14.503
You need to do everything you can to build this up sustainably and to know your numbers and to stick to them.

00:09:14.503 --> 00:09:17.023
And that's the beautiful part about flat rate.

00:09:17.023 --> 00:09:26.504
If the odd one ends up a little off of Teter here, where they win, awesome, this is you're the lottery company and they just won.

00:09:26.504 --> 00:09:27.700
That's amazing news.

00:09:27.700 --> 00:09:30.543
They're still getting the great level of service.

00:09:30.543 --> 00:09:32.279
I had to insert that, joe.

00:09:32.400 --> 00:09:32.881
That's all good.

00:09:32.881 --> 00:09:35.022
I kept the thought so I didn't lose it.

00:09:35.022 --> 00:09:37.620
The last thing was about the options.

00:09:37.620 --> 00:09:42.297
Very, very few people are actually offering options the right way.

00:09:42.297 --> 00:09:47.018
I mean when they think they're doing it, they'll say, oh, I offer one to two or even some of the best.

00:09:47.018 --> 00:09:49.960
They're like, oh, I do three options, I do the good, better, best model.

00:09:50.995 --> 00:10:07.541
The problem with going through that is if you've gone from not doing options or doing like proto options to having six solid, three categories, buyer archetypes already mapped out, you can really let the customer truly choose what kind of level of service they want.

00:10:08.174 --> 00:10:22.639
Because if you can say, here this is the Rolls Royce style, I'm gonna show up in a chauffeur's outfit, white gloves, everything perfect done, lifetime guarantee, all the way down to the very bottom, where I'm like I'm gonna give you a material list, you're gonna go out and get it yourself.

00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:31.577
I'm coming on a weekend, no warranty, and I'm putting the condom right on the wall Screw that, I'm not even gonna recess it or you gotta open the wall before I get here.

00:10:31.577 --> 00:10:37.472
They'll get to choose that because they can actually see a number that makes sense that we can stand behind.

00:10:37.472 --> 00:10:40.631
So just the thought of going through.

00:10:40.631 --> 00:10:56.450
We're giving you a flat number we can stand behind and we're giving you a range of choices so that the customer gets to choose rather than you having to put it on them and absorbing all the impacts of really time and the time to get there, the time to get material.

00:10:56.630 --> 00:11:02.386
All that stuff is completely absorbed in your simple service rates, so they don't have to think about it out of sight, out of mind.

00:11:02.386 --> 00:11:04.490
And why should they be overwhelmed by that stuff?

00:11:04.490 --> 00:11:05.614
It's too much.

00:11:05.614 --> 00:11:10.221
They're not electrical project managers by default, right?

00:11:10.221 --> 00:11:17.379
Their homeowners with busy little lives that barely had time to get Someone on the phone to get to their house to help them with their electrical needs.

00:11:17.379 --> 00:11:22.241
I mean, that was the problem in the first place the time it takes and the effort it takes, right.

00:11:22.241 --> 00:11:30.488
So the more we can absorb that and just help them up, the better the services, the values there, 100%, I agree with you.

00:11:30.488 --> 00:11:36.072
So how then do we take this old client and now change them to this new style Joe?

00:11:36.072 --> 00:11:37.405
All right, I love that.

00:11:38.067 --> 00:11:45.592
What we're going to do is anytime you implement a change, it has to be seen and presented as beneficial to the customer first.

00:11:45.592 --> 00:11:54.297
The biggest problem that people do is they say we're doing a price increase and they stop there and they're like up that's what we're doing.

00:11:54.297 --> 00:11:54.779
Raising rates.

00:11:54.779 --> 00:12:02.241
It's letting you know starting January 5th 2024 rate will go from 113 an hour to 197 an hour.

00:12:02.241 --> 00:12:04.046
Please see management for details, right?

00:12:04.607 --> 00:12:05.850
and they say why you go?

00:12:05.850 --> 00:12:06.592
Well, inflation.

00:12:07.260 --> 00:12:09.145
Yeah, yeah, it's like all inflation stuff.

00:12:09.145 --> 00:12:11.172
Yeah, it costs to run a business.

00:12:11.172 --> 00:12:13.630
So you know what if you rub your shoulder a little bit like you know what?

00:12:13.652 --> 00:12:14.434
it is gonna run business.

00:12:14.434 --> 00:12:16.307
Yeah, that's the big problem.

00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:22.873
Instead, imagine presenting it this way, where you go to your customer and you first by start by thanking them.

00:12:22.873 --> 00:12:30.173
So, if you've worked with them in the past, thank them for the opportunity to work with them and then ask them how they've enjoyed the previous work you've done.

00:12:30.173 --> 00:12:35.251
So, clay, I really enjoyed working with you and thank you for the opportunity to come back and serve again.

00:12:35.251 --> 00:12:38.289
Hey, by the way, how's a hot tub that we put in for you last year?

00:12:38.289 --> 00:12:39.282
You guys got into use it.

00:12:39.282 --> 00:12:42.107
I've, like you, thought you're going to totally man working great.

00:12:42.688 --> 00:12:42.908
Yeah.

00:12:42.908 --> 00:12:49.370
So you're starting with thanks, then transitioning to reminding them of the joy of working with you.

00:12:49.370 --> 00:12:53.629
It was a good experience and I'm still enjoying the thing you've done for me.

00:12:53.629 --> 00:12:54.572
Great.

00:12:54.572 --> 00:13:13.645
Then we get to reframe it as to what better they can also not come to expect from you, such as I'm so excited to tell you about Something because we've actually implemented some changes that are directly going to benefit you and we've put in mind, with you specifically in mind, the reason why I'm doing that.

00:13:13.645 --> 00:13:15.049
And then you go into it from there.

00:13:15.782 --> 00:13:16.864
Yeah, love the excitement.

00:13:16.864 --> 00:13:21.092
Start like, build energy up around it like I'm, legitimately I believe in this.

00:13:21.620 --> 00:13:22.000
Mm-hmm.

00:13:22.501 --> 00:13:23.443
How important is that?

00:13:23.985 --> 00:13:29.842
That's the first thing, because I'm gonna say the same thing two different ways, which is so I'm excited.

00:13:29.842 --> 00:13:31.147
I've got some things I want to change.

00:13:31.147 --> 00:13:32.410
We're gonna make some changes.

00:13:32.410 --> 00:13:34.505
It's gonna be in your best interest.

00:13:34.505 --> 00:13:35.428
Just hear me out.

00:13:35.428 --> 00:13:43.722
Compared to, I am so excited to go through this with you because we started actually making changes with you specifically in mind that are gonna benefit you.

00:13:43.722 --> 00:13:45.590
So just hear me out, you're gonna enjoy this.

00:13:45.590 --> 00:13:50.090
Same words two different times, deliver two different ways.

00:13:50.551 --> 00:13:55.048
Yeah, the first one made me feel like, hey, the car is on the hill, it's pointed downhill.

00:13:55.048 --> 00:13:56.860
I'm gonna sit in the driver's seat.

00:13:56.860 --> 00:14:04.465
I need you to go in front and just put your hands, like this, on the bumper and just just I'm gonna let my foot off the break and put it in neutral that you just hang on to this for a minute.

00:14:04.465 --> 00:14:06.750
Yeah, yeah, it's like very much.

00:14:06.750 --> 00:14:08.413
Come in this for a minute.

00:14:08.413 --> 00:14:10.780
I want to take you for a drive, exactly.

00:14:11.543 --> 00:14:18.292
So now that the customer has a sense of interest, we then want to explain how these changes actually benefit them.

00:14:18.292 --> 00:14:27.828
So the three you mentioned was we're going from time of material to flat rate and also including options right and price price price and price increase.

00:14:28.230 --> 00:14:40.336
Okay, so Well, here at service of electrical, our goal has always been, as you remember, to do top tier customer service and deliver a high level of quality and reliability, but we found a way that we can even step our own game up.

00:14:40.798 --> 00:14:46.011
That's the goal we're always trying to get to a five-star service and we realize that there are some things that we could be doing better.

00:14:46.011 --> 00:14:59.991
The first thing is is that, rather than be so ambiguous over our pricing, we decided to actually just make it really upfront, really Transparent, and give you absolute control over every single way the job can be done.

00:14:59.991 --> 00:15:07.090
Now, the way we're gonna do that for you is we're actually gonna implement a pricing structure To where you don't have to guess of what it's gonna be.

00:15:07.090 --> 00:15:19.100
There'll no longer be any style of estimates, it's simply just going to be this is the cost of us to do this particular project that's specifically customized to you, meaning you're not just going to open a book and say this is what it costs.

00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:24.774
I'm still designing a custom project specifically for you, except this time there's no clock running.

00:15:24.774 --> 00:15:27.745
If it takes me longer time, that's on me.

00:15:27.745 --> 00:15:32.139
Just saying that alone does not sound like it's in the customer's best interest.

00:15:32.610 --> 00:15:33.775
Totally, you got me man.

00:15:34.269 --> 00:15:46.116
Yeah, continuing on from there, what we're also doing is we want to focus more on giving you better levels of reliability and quality and the choices that you get, meaning that we're actually going to sit down instead of giving you one price.

00:15:46.116 --> 00:15:52.511
We're going to design an absolute menu for you, from the finest that money can buy to the most bare bones you can possibly have.

00:15:52.511 --> 00:15:58.456
And in that solutions, or in those solutions, what you'll find is the ability of choosing what level of service you want.

00:15:58.456 --> 00:16:04.384
If you want white glove, butler level, concierge service, top tier, not a problem, we can accommodate that.

00:16:04.384 --> 00:16:08.923
If you're looking for us to be more like a contractor style, we can do that as well.

00:16:08.923 --> 00:16:12.799
Or if you want somewhere in a happy medium, that's also going to be included.

00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:18.272
All you'll have to do is simply just make a selection of what you feel is best for you and your family, and I'll be here to serve.

00:16:18.272 --> 00:16:19.736
How would you like to proceed?

00:16:20.909 --> 00:16:22.092
Awesome man Sounds great.

00:16:22.092 --> 00:16:24.158
Joe, you've got me sold on that.

00:16:24.158 --> 00:16:25.551
I'm watching the clock here too.

00:16:25.551 --> 00:16:26.995
Let me ask you a single question.

00:16:26.995 --> 00:16:39.889
Sure, back in the day, when you were working in the van, still making sales, looking for material to listen to, catching up on any materials you had, listening to your own role plays, how much did you need to hear a podcast like this?

00:16:39.889 --> 00:16:43.061
I would have probably literally killed for it.

00:16:43.623 --> 00:16:55.519
Because the thing is is that when you feel alone, misunderstood and also isolated, where there were no electrical coaches, they were HVAC, plumbing and multi-trade coaches.

00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:56.000
That was it.

00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:10.692
But this podcast allows actual electricians to listen to actual electricians and the benefit is we're going to give you things that, instead of us guessing at, this is stuff we actually did and it's been psychologically proven to work.

00:17:10.692 --> 00:17:26.192
So if you could tell me that there was someone that's been in my shoes that has this many years of practical hands-on experience that had success and has given me an easy to digest way of absorbing information yeah, I'm on that, I wouldn't believe it's a free podcast.

00:17:27.413 --> 00:17:28.778
I think the role plays really helped.

00:17:28.778 --> 00:17:30.682
Man, I'm so pumped, listen.

00:17:30.682 --> 00:17:32.657
I want to give out the first action item for today.

00:17:32.657 --> 00:17:47.606
Very simple, I know this is helpful, hearing those role plays, as Joe just said, we wish we would have had these same tools when we were back running our plays in the van, working with clients, going to the next house, trying to improve your sales process all of the above, especially today.

00:17:47.606 --> 00:17:49.733
How to introduce offer changes to old clients.

00:17:49.733 --> 00:18:04.622
If you know someone who's stuck in the time of material, stuck in the old pricing, stuck in their old ways and can't quite grasp this, then I know I'm going to be sending this in the messenger to a few of our prospects, people who have been following along to make sure they've got this.

00:18:04.622 --> 00:18:08.923
I ask that you share it with them too and leave a review at the service where you heard us first.

00:18:08.923 --> 00:18:11.714
Joe, do you have an all-star action for these guys today?

00:18:12.416 --> 00:18:13.280
I can make one happen.

00:18:13.280 --> 00:18:15.167
So all-star action.

00:18:15.167 --> 00:18:26.595
What I'd consider for this particular scenario is it's a belief shift, because the biggest problem that people run into is that they don't believe that the customer is going to want better service if they have to pay more for it.

00:18:26.595 --> 00:18:28.944
And that just is not the case.

00:18:28.944 --> 00:18:35.097
And I'm saying this from experience, as both a someone who sold it and someone who's had to buy it.

00:18:35.097 --> 00:18:56.922
If I was told that I could have a completely seamless experience for something with someone that I liked, trusted, respected and was confident in their ability, and they called me and was like hey, it's going to cost more to work with us, or you can go a tank top Terry, who I know is still doing $75 an hour, I'm going to still go with the provider that I trust.

00:18:56.922 --> 00:19:04.031
Even if it was on the fence, I still would go with them, simply because I wouldn't want the change.

00:19:04.031 --> 00:19:12.179
So for all of you out there that are like they're not going to buy, you're fooling yourself and the only person you're hurting is your own pocket.

00:19:13.432 --> 00:19:14.597
Yeah, if they're not a fit, let them.

00:19:14.597 --> 00:19:15.903
Let them wean themselves out.

00:19:15.903 --> 00:19:25.642
Guys, this has been another fire episode of Electric Printer Secrets, episode 211 how to introduce offer changes to old clients in a way that you can get that price up.

00:19:25.642 --> 00:19:32.672
One thing is for sure if you could see that money being left on the table, we've got nothing to lose here, right, overworked and underpaid.

00:19:32.672 --> 00:19:33.614
We can't accept that.

00:19:33.614 --> 00:19:36.280
So this has been your one thing, coach called today.

00:19:36.280 --> 00:19:39.765
Can't wait to see you again for tomorrow, friday, to finish the week.

00:19:39.765 --> 00:19:41.415
Cheers, joe, we'll see you tomorrow.

00:19:41.415 --> 00:19:42.528
Looking forward to it.
