00:00:01.985 --> 00:00:03.447
Hello, hello, hello.
00:00:03.447 --> 00:00:07.698
Welcome back to yet another episode of Electricpreneur Secrets.
00:00:07.698 --> 00:00:21.887

Just promise to take action, and today is absolutely no actionable exception.
00:00:46.173 --> 00:00:47.578
That was a mouthful Joe.
00:00:47.578 --> 00:00:49.244
I was worried about tripping up on that one.
00:00:49.244 --> 00:00:49.485
Brother.
00:00:49.485 --> 00:00:50.671
How are you doing today, man?
00:00:51.195 --> 00:00:52.521
You pulled it off man, I got a minute.
00:00:52.521 --> 00:00:54.067
It came out really good.
00:00:54.067 --> 00:00:59.005
Today is one of those days where I always try to focus on the silver linings of life.
00:00:59.005 --> 00:01:01.295
I think that's something that everyone can improve on.
00:01:01.295 --> 00:01:04.123
It's one thing to say is everything perfect?
00:01:04.123 --> 00:01:10.983
Maybe not, but are you doing the best you can every day with the things you do have?
00:01:10.983 --> 00:01:15.920
And then I can say I am, and if I'm doing everything I can to win.
00:01:17.263 --> 00:01:19.468
Present, not perfect, brother, I'm feeling it.
00:01:19.567 --> 00:01:22.862
It's Wednesday same thing, but we are actually live today.
00:01:22.862 --> 00:01:42.436
This is my favorite day of the week now because, since we've been running some replays to really focus on getting everything onto this app and connected to our website, which is going fantastic, Having a great time doing that with you, we had to make this little sacrifice, but so happy to report that so many people are still listening, still getting that value.
00:01:42.436 --> 00:01:44.766
We had over a thousand downloads last week.
00:01:44.766 --> 00:01:49.768
So you guys, keep it up, Keep taking this stuff, Keep helping yourselves with this great content.
00:01:49.768 --> 00:01:55.167
And today we're going to jump right into some marketing stuff, which Wednesday, someone just commented.
00:01:55.167 --> 00:01:55.628
Wednesday.
00:01:55.628 --> 00:01:56.510
I see that man.
00:01:56.510 --> 00:01:57.453
Thank you very much.
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:05.855
If you're not live with us in the Facebook Electric Paneer Group, you could be engaging with us live too, asking questions, sharing wins and challenges.
00:02:05.855 --> 00:02:07.361
Be happy to talk through it with you.
00:02:07.361 --> 00:02:13.514
Joe, the title of this episode we're not a marketing company, but we know the secrets.
00:02:13.514 --> 00:02:16.183
There's good reason for this.
00:02:16.183 --> 00:02:22.586
Right now, more than ever before, people have asked us well, are you guys actually a marketing company?
00:02:22.586 --> 00:02:43.689
I think it's important to just kind of wash this one out and make sure we're all on the same page with how we feel about marketing what it really is, what those secrets are to us, how we feel you should feel about marketing, what you should know and take away from this and take action on so that you can always be kind of bearing the fruit of these consistent efforts.
00:02:43.689 --> 00:02:44.453
Is that sound fair?
00:02:45.336 --> 00:02:53.645
It does, and it actually reminds me of a very funny parallel that I used to run into, where in my former business people would call thinking that we are a utility company.
00:02:53.645 --> 00:02:54.546
Why?
00:02:54.546 --> 00:02:59.211
Because we provided a turnkey utility coordination service and it was listed on our website.
00:02:59.211 --> 00:03:01.685
So people would call and be like hey, are you Central Hudson?
00:03:01.685 --> 00:03:03.252
Hey, are you Orange and Rockland?
00:03:03.252 --> 00:03:07.026
Like you do those work, like you can get me attached to their department.
00:03:07.026 --> 00:03:09.372
It's like completely different organization.
00:03:09.372 --> 00:03:17.015
So I just think it's funny how you experienced it then and now we're coming back into it Now like hey, you can help me with my Google LSA, right?
00:03:18.657 --> 00:03:19.257
Well, you know what.
00:03:19.257 --> 00:03:23.889
It's a fair request because right now, leads are the hot topic.
00:03:23.889 --> 00:03:25.294
They are Right.
00:03:25.294 --> 00:03:32.520
It's been a tough earlier for a lot of you, a lot of folks having troubles getting their calendars full, and so we can appreciate that.
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:39.247
So that's another reason why this episode is going to help kind of wade through that and really make sure that you can make the most of this.
00:03:39.247 --> 00:03:49.643
But also, today we're sending out our updated service leads now action checklist as a value piece for the week, and that will absolutely set you guys on another trajectory.
00:03:49.643 --> 00:03:53.820
So if you're looking for more leads, you're going to want to check out this update.
00:03:54.203 --> 00:03:59.139
We've given this in pieces out before, but never this complete with so many links.
00:03:59.139 --> 00:04:01.625
There's absolutely no excuses anymore.
00:04:01.625 --> 00:04:03.370
Joe, I'm ready.
00:04:03.370 --> 00:04:06.082
I'm ready to make this happen Super pumped.
00:04:06.082 --> 00:04:07.127
So let's start here.
00:04:07.127 --> 00:04:08.233
Let's back up and just go.
00:04:08.233 --> 00:04:11.245
I got this question yesterday on a call and I really appreciated.
00:04:11.245 --> 00:04:13.492
Well, clay, what is marketing to you then?
00:04:13.492 --> 00:04:18.814
Like, if you guys only kind of know the secrets, you only help in certain ways what is marketing then?
00:04:18.814 --> 00:04:20.942
What would we take from your program?
00:04:20.942 --> 00:04:22.206
What would we get from you guys?
00:04:22.206 --> 00:04:26.540
And to me, I have a very specific definition of marketing.
00:04:26.540 --> 00:04:27.882
Lay it on us.
00:04:27.882 --> 00:04:29.466
I think it's really going to help.
00:04:29.466 --> 00:04:47.177
Marketing is doing the things to get noticed and we can be very specific with that too, but generally, all businesses should recognize that there's actions to take to get noticed Brings up the first question.
00:04:47.177 --> 00:04:50.685
It's a fair question for any of you viewers, listeners, to reflect on.
00:04:50.685 --> 00:04:55.970
What are you doing, what actions are you taking to get noticed every day?
00:04:59.504 --> 00:05:12.773
That's pretty hard to think about, because if you go through and you say on a daily, that really puts people on the spot, because a lot of times, when it comes to getting leads, it's like well, when we sat down on Monday, we did a projection and we realized that we didn't have leads.
00:05:12.773 --> 00:05:14.646
Okay, what did you do about it?
00:05:14.646 --> 00:05:18.889
Well, we had a meeting event about it with the rest of our staff about how we don't have leads.
00:05:18.889 --> 00:05:20.764
Okay, but what did you do about it?
00:05:20.764 --> 00:05:24.706
Well, then we ran up the flagpole and told our techs that we need to get more leads.
00:05:24.706 --> 00:05:28.052
And then what Did it solve the problem?
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.266
No, everyone's just really scrambling to get leads now, but at least we know, we're aware of the problem.
00:05:32.266 --> 00:05:34.487
It's like it doesn't solve it.
00:05:34.487 --> 00:05:46.047
It's more important to have a game plan, which is why I love teaching this stuff, because when you can follow the bouncing ball, at the very least you can say did I do the thing or did I not?
00:05:46.047 --> 00:05:52.968
It's a consistent activity that yields the highest result, and that's why we've decided to invest ourselves in teaching them.
00:05:54.682 --> 00:05:55.004
Totally.
00:05:55.004 --> 00:06:02.507
Really, when we boil this down, there's only a few ways that you can build that awareness up, that you can take actions to get noticed.
00:06:02.507 --> 00:06:19.427
It's kind of like our law of open cycles Like you're going to do it yourself, others are going to do it for you and even as an extension of that, you're going to pay reps or agencies to really go out and do it for you, but they're going to make a profit off of you.
00:06:20.380 --> 00:06:20.942
And so what we?
00:06:20.961 --> 00:06:28.305
tend to see in times like these is well, my schedule is empty, no one's calling, leads are shorting, if you will.
00:06:28.305 --> 00:06:29.463
It's not happening.
00:06:29.463 --> 00:06:35.862
So I'm going to start calling marketing agencies and trying to get placed on a program where they will get me leads.
00:06:35.862 --> 00:06:53.593
Now, that can be so expensive, joe, and I'm going to go out and venture and say something here that you know what Maybe I get in trouble for, maybe maybe someone takes offense to this.
00:06:53.593 --> 00:06:55.562
But I think marketers will agree with this statement.
00:06:55.562 --> 00:06:58.944
They don't want to be in that situation either.
00:06:58.944 --> 00:07:16.223
Marketing companies, agencies, would much rather work with the cool and collected, actual marketing strategy to get long-term leads into your business, into your awareness, into that sphere of influence, if you will.
00:07:16.223 --> 00:07:17.466
Does that make sense?
00:07:17.466 --> 00:07:17.567
Yeah?
00:07:19.139 --> 00:07:21.447
The thought I was going with was it's got to be part of your culture.
00:07:21.447 --> 00:07:37.730
That's why, in our process, every single position, whether you're an installer, whether you're a service tech, whether you're sales, whether you're CSR, we have positioning processes to help them generate leads and run them with the flagpole to generate opportunity.
00:07:37.730 --> 00:07:51.288
When it becomes part of your company culture of, well, what next are we doing, Then you have all the people under your uniform with eyes on the target, compared to all the people in uniforms with hands out going well, when's the next call?
00:07:51.288 --> 00:07:53.646
It's like well, what did you do to get a call?
00:07:53.646 --> 00:07:54.769
I came to you.
00:07:54.769 --> 00:07:56.062
That's what I did.
00:07:58.629 --> 00:08:04.288
So exactly so, this can be a shared responsibility on our team, and we're going to get hyper specific with this.
00:08:04.288 --> 00:08:06.105
We're going to get right into this a bit.
00:08:06.105 --> 00:08:13.492
There are certain strategies, though, that I say every company should have working for them.
00:08:13.492 --> 00:08:26.869
Every electricpreneur should have a couple of things working for you, and it may at first take your individual efforts to do these things, but it will save you a lot of money and it will be hyper effective if you do it well.
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.048
Would you like to hear the things, joe, I mean I'm all down.
00:08:31.048 --> 00:08:32.384
I love listening to your brain.
00:08:32.384 --> 00:08:37.048
Sometimes, man Actually most times, most times I love listening to your brain.
00:08:37.489 --> 00:08:38.230
All right, fair enough.
00:08:38.230 --> 00:08:40.683
Google is obvious, right?
00:08:40.683 --> 00:08:44.532
And is it so many times?
00:08:44.532 --> 00:08:53.504
Young electric entrepreneurs are new in business or even just kind of tired electric entrepreneurs will drop this ball and they will not maximize this channel.
00:08:53.504 --> 00:08:54.711
That's a way to see it.
00:08:54.711 --> 00:08:55.693
Google's a channel.
00:08:55.693 --> 00:09:02.493
That's one place where a lot of people go to maybe see you, but there's a lineup of people.
00:09:02.493 --> 00:09:07.321
So the way that Google works is more by the patterns of the search party, right?
00:09:07.321 --> 00:09:15.601
What I mean by that is, if a homeowner is looking for an electrician, google looks at their area and it looks at their search and it shows them a list of electricians.
00:09:15.601 --> 00:09:19.158
So what can you do to be at the top of that list?
00:09:20.410 --> 00:09:24.299
We've covered this in a variety of episodes, but just in short, let's review the list.
00:09:24.299 --> 00:09:27.673
You can make sure your business address is up to date.
00:09:27.673 --> 00:09:30.600
You can make sure your whole Google business profile is updated.
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:47.013
You can make sure that you're asking for reviews every time, getting good, accurate reviews and replying to those reviews, even with strategic keywords to the job that you just did, so that other people searching for that will see it and link your success in doing it To you as a company.
00:09:47.013 --> 00:09:47.755
Does that make sense?
00:09:47.755 --> 00:09:49.279
So far that it does.
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:56.476
You can add photos and photos with strategic placement with the data that's behind them.
00:09:56.476 --> 00:10:06.458
Tells Google that you do work consistently in the area that that photo came from, so people searching from that area then have a higher chance of finding you.
00:10:06.458 --> 00:10:08.523
That's just how Google's brain works.
00:10:08.523 --> 00:10:13.958
So shouldn't we all be on Google, being that it's free other than the odd annoying call?
00:10:13.958 --> 00:10:16.504
They're gonna shoot our way to try to sell us ads.
00:10:17.851 --> 00:10:18.312
I would agree.
00:10:18.312 --> 00:10:20.097
I mean when in doubt, I think there's a question.
00:10:20.097 --> 00:10:21.802
If it's free, it's for me, and I'll take two.
00:10:24.434 --> 00:10:24.936
Interesting.
00:10:24.936 --> 00:10:27.842
Okay, the other thing we can do with Google is get verified.
00:10:27.842 --> 00:10:43.779
You can get verified by providing additional documentation and even Google guaranteed where that will help Searchers find you sooner higher on the list and even allow you to later join what's called local service ads for a certain amount of money.
00:10:43.779 --> 00:10:49.686
But it's what we find most of the success with in paid advertising from our clients and beyond.
00:10:49.686 --> 00:10:56.342
Usually there's a fairly optimized LSA account and, don't worry, this is something you can manage yourself.
00:10:56.342 --> 00:11:01.298
Do not need to pay someone to do it for you if you want to.
00:11:01.298 --> 00:11:03.844
This is back to the old equation of time verse money.
00:11:03.844 --> 00:11:08.677
I get it, but if you're early in this, you don't have leads.
00:11:08.677 --> 00:11:10.279
You're worried about losing people.
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:12.563
I mean, these are things you could be doing, couldn't you?
00:11:13.591 --> 00:11:16.296
I mean at the other day, we're not teaching anything.
00:11:16.296 --> 00:11:22.350
That's so high brain that you require an engineering degree or programming degree in order to do these are just.
00:11:22.350 --> 00:11:32.044
I have consistent steps that if you follow this bouncing ball, you will not only have more leads, but you'll have better qualified leads that already recognize you before you get to the door.
00:11:32.044 --> 00:11:36.039
That's a win for a very low amount of effort.
00:11:36.870 --> 00:11:43.663
Totally, and if we look around at the marketing companies, quite often you won't find someone next in just electricians.
00:11:43.663 --> 00:11:52.119
You'll find someone next in home services and Google listings, getting your Google optimized, doing Google ads.
00:11:52.119 --> 00:12:04.361
People tend to niche, when it comes to marketing companies, into the specific technology software channels, because that's the depth that they're looking for to create great results.
00:12:04.361 --> 00:12:10.840
But the missing components still is they're not electricians and they're not working with electricians all the time.
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:17.879
So it does have us kind of at odds and so again, I could see why people hope even that we are a marketing company.
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:27.583
But we are actually a sales and service organization that help you not necessarily get the most leads, we help you make the most of every lead.
00:12:28.291 --> 00:12:39.152
Agreed, that said, if people came to us and said we'd love to learn how to make the most of every leads, but we don't have any, well, enter us again.
00:12:39.152 --> 00:12:42.557
This is where we help so that Google these organics.
00:12:42.557 --> 00:12:43.557
That's a huge piece.
00:12:43.557 --> 00:12:48.205
A second piece that's going to be massive for you in your business is Facebook.
00:12:48.205 --> 00:12:51.673
If you haven't seen our Facebook cheat sheet, you're missing out.
00:12:51.673 --> 00:12:52.232
But guess what?
00:12:52.232 --> 00:12:54.995
It's linked to the value piece, the service leads.
00:12:54.995 --> 00:13:07.235
Now value piece the no excuses action checklist to put clients on your calendar day value piece also has this Facebook cheat sheet link to it, and that's important.
00:13:07.235 --> 00:13:12.080
Can we talk about what this organic channel does for us, joe?
00:13:12.889 --> 00:13:13.211
Yeah.
00:13:13.211 --> 00:13:35.523
So the benefit of going organic is not only do you have an additional amount of control over the situation, but when you follow the proper cadences, you're allowing your customer to start to get to know you as a business, but, more importantly, they get to know you as a person, and people will always choose the person they know over the faceless corporation that they don't.
00:13:35.523 --> 00:13:49.017
And if you're projecting that I'm a good person, I've got values, I want to serve, I enjoy what I do, we are competent, we are enjoying this, people will naturally gravitate towards you.
00:13:49.017 --> 00:13:53.700
Additionally, what we're doing is are speaking to the problem before problem even comes up.
00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:56.094
I'd rather be in the customer's mind.
00:13:56.214 --> 00:13:59.220
As you know what let's call service electrical, eventually, when we need something.
00:13:59.220 --> 00:14:03.157
To be honest, I actually have this exact situation happening.
00:14:03.157 --> 00:14:05.894
My own personal life We've been driving past.
00:14:05.894 --> 00:14:16.513
Whenever we drive our girls to school, we see a company and they have the most beautiful wrapped events and they have a brand that stands out and really speaks to us and we have our mindset.
00:14:16.513 --> 00:14:18.638
You know, next time we have an issue, we're going to call them.
00:14:18.638 --> 00:14:31.375
That is next level marketing, because I've already volunteered to work with someone before ever having to talk to them, or ever having to actually have a problem that needs solving.
00:14:32.361 --> 00:14:39.107
So trust is built just based on exposure and professionalism already, exactly, and that's what Facebook does for you.
00:14:39.107 --> 00:14:55.793
Now I've got this kind of good friend of mine, silent background partner, who is a really great certified accountant, and she once said to me well, facebook's for like kitten memes and baby photos Uh-huh, I get it.
00:14:55.793 --> 00:15:15.193
I get it that there is a lot of that there, but it's also the place where most homeowners have an account based on their four billion users that use it, and most of them actually use it for the groups that they're in and have stitching, bitch and questions and the things that they need that you could help with.
00:15:15.193 --> 00:15:18.389
I got a geography question for you, joe.
00:15:18.389 --> 00:15:24.311
How many lanes, by your memory, would be on a highway going to JFK, new York?
00:15:25.653 --> 00:15:31.530
Okay, so it depends on where you're at in the process, but you would go anywhere between four to six.
00:15:32.351 --> 00:15:38.110
Okay, in some areas outside of, like Toronto and Canada, we're talking like eight lanes of traffic.
00:15:38.110 --> 00:15:53.240
It's crazy, facebook's like that but think 20 lanes, think 30 lanes, 40 lanes, and there's no bridge that slows it down, it's just constant traffic and everyone seems to be on that highway.
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:58.755
So now think about your physically driving, like Joe said, and you're seeing the signs on the highway.
00:15:58.755 --> 00:16:02.869
It's just a little nudge, it's just like a hey, we're here, hey, we're here.
00:16:02.869 --> 00:16:07.143
Little awareness bits and with a good cadence online.
00:16:07.143 --> 00:16:14.563
Even that little awareness starts to build trust and you have an opportunity to build that trust, albeit invisible.
00:16:14.563 --> 00:16:31.134
You can't see it today, so that's why no one does it today, but it's building every time you post and if you're following our Facebook cheat sheet, again, it's helping you post the right things that create hands up and create sales for your business.
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:47.056
So, between Google and Facebook alone, ignoring Bing and other search engines, ignoring other ways like citations, where you can just sign up for the lead aggregator sites and just be present, you don't have to buy.
00:16:47.056 --> 00:16:52.873
Just accept that they're going to phone you and try to sell you some shit once in a while, but you don't have to buy.
00:16:52.873 --> 00:16:55.220
It all improves your awareness.
00:16:55.220 --> 00:17:00.649
It all improves your visibility, and so it all improves your marketing.
00:17:00.649 --> 00:17:05.240
Those are all actions to get noticed Full circle.
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:06.503
Does that make sense, joe?
00:17:07.446 --> 00:17:08.190
It really does.
00:17:08.190 --> 00:17:22.067
And you know, obviously I know that you were definitely more of a specialist when it comes to marketing than I do, but every time we have these conversations, you find there's more depth, more depth, more depthness, and it's amazing, because I really do.
00:17:22.067 --> 00:17:30.433
I think it's great because, as we're going through this, a lot of subtleties are brought up, like before this, I'm sure there was someone who was listening and saying, well, I just got to put all my money into Google.
00:17:30.433 --> 00:17:32.180
It's like well, do you?
00:17:32.180 --> 00:17:34.240
And if you do, do you know how to do it?
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:36.474
So I think this has been incredibly impactful.
00:17:36.494 --> 00:17:38.946
All right, Well, we're not even done yet.
00:17:38.946 --> 00:17:44.690
We're pushing the time here, but, like I want to dive even deeper for another three minutes, is that?
00:17:44.690 --> 00:17:44.950
Okay?
00:17:44.950 --> 00:17:46.653
I'm fine, sounds good with it.
00:17:46.653 --> 00:17:51.328
We've talked a bit about this before, but now it really gains some context here.
00:17:51.328 --> 00:17:59.873
To make the most of our marketing opportunities, we should also be problem aware.
00:17:59.873 --> 00:18:11.690
If our marketing is problem aware, then we can engage in the conversations in our future clients minds based on the problem that they're experiencing.
00:18:11.690 --> 00:18:16.086
If that was Chinese, let me simplify a little bit.
00:18:16.086 --> 00:18:22.167
If you speak to the problem you want to solve, then the sale is yours to mess up.
00:18:22.167 --> 00:18:30.449
If you speak to the problem and you have a solution, then the sale is yours to mess up.
00:18:30.449 --> 00:18:34.304
Yet we just struggle to do this.
00:18:34.384 --> 00:18:42.868
Please jump in, brother I wanted to jump in on this because I really feel like it sounds simple, but it's even simpler when you really think about it.
00:18:43.615 --> 00:18:51.348
Imagine you had a customer somewhere in your county who notices that their kitchen countertop isn't working.
00:18:51.348 --> 00:18:58.167
Their first intention is to recognize that there's a problem and then want to go make a call.
00:18:58.167 --> 00:19:12.227
But if previously they saw on your Facebook or on their ad that you solved that specific concern, you're now almost inceptioning into their mind that you're the right person to go for this.
00:19:12.227 --> 00:19:16.365
Hey, I saw that Joe just did this same call yesterday.
00:19:16.365 --> 00:19:18.421
He clearly knows what he's talking about.
00:19:18.421 --> 00:19:19.304
Let's call him.
00:19:19.304 --> 00:19:37.343
So the benefit is that when you recognize which jobs are the most profitable, which jobs are the most fun, which jobs are the most consistent, which ones generate the most long-term relationships, you could rally everything behind solving a specific amount of problems that you genuinely enjoy or invested in doing.
00:19:37.343 --> 00:19:51.557
And the more you do that people with those problems start putting their hands up when they normally wouldn't, because now you're seen as an authority rather than just another generalist 100%.
00:19:51.597 --> 00:19:52.701
Man Couldn't agree more.
00:19:52.701 --> 00:19:55.416
I'm going to say this transparently again.
00:19:55.416 --> 00:20:07.258
We've been coached by a literal coaching company that helps marketers market Right.
00:20:07.258 --> 00:20:25.934
I'm keeping identities clean here, I'm not throwing sand at anyone, but I'm telling you, even the marketing companies you hire don't follow their own principles a lot of times, because they're so focused on the channel and the path of least resistance to make a buck that they themselves don't put out content.
00:20:25.934 --> 00:20:33.107
That is problem aware with the solution and benefit attached, engaging in a way that actually serves them.
00:20:33.107 --> 00:20:42.707
And so how could they do it for you and that's one of my other favorite things about utilizing Facebook is we practice that messaging every day.
00:20:42.707 --> 00:21:00.618
If we wanted to put an ad out today to generate more traffic, we absolutely know what our top 10 traffic and engaging ads would be, because we already have the proof from our free posting on social media Incorrect, incredibly powerful.
00:21:00.618 --> 00:21:03.902
Let's go even deeper Now.
00:21:03.902 --> 00:21:04.463
I'm pushing it.
00:21:04.463 --> 00:21:06.962
I'm pushing it, but we're just like we're on this track.
00:21:06.962 --> 00:21:10.924
I really want something to click for someone today that just changes a life.
00:21:11.535 --> 00:21:13.383
Is that fair Floors are yours?
00:21:13.383 --> 00:21:15.381
I mean, if we're changing lives, that's all I'm here for.
00:21:16.414 --> 00:21:24.008
Let's say let's just say the GFCI call that you mentioned happened in XYZ neighborhood.
00:21:24.008 --> 00:21:25.435
Okay With you.
00:21:25.435 --> 00:21:41.567
Beyond the GFCI, following the six options secrets, episode 87, how the Y tells us what to offer, you learned more about this home and you actually found that it's a federal panel built in.
00:21:41.567 --> 00:21:42.167
Give me a year.
00:21:42.955 --> 00:21:46.806
Usually panels in the federal were between 70s and 80s before they really got outsourced.
00:21:46.806 --> 00:21:48.858
Perfect, out-phased out.
00:21:49.914 --> 00:22:05.749
And so you recognize that, hey, this is an urban development area where a pool of homes were built by the same contractor between the 70s and 80s, and I just helped someone and proved that this circuit actually would not trip because of this federal breaker.
00:22:07.615 --> 00:22:08.597
I see where you're going with this.
00:22:09.510 --> 00:22:14.782
Yet I have no leads and here we sit thinking about hiring a marketing agency or someone.
00:22:14.782 --> 00:22:17.999
Please help us find someone that we could help.
00:22:17.999 --> 00:22:23.760
Okay, let's think about this for one second.
00:22:23.760 --> 00:22:43.897
Would it serve us to even go door to door or send out EDDM every door direct mailers to that neighborhood, just letting them know about the Johnsons that you served and how their home and family are safer now because of the removal of that federal panel that is likely still in 80% of the homes in that neighborhood?
00:22:45.109 --> 00:22:49.000
So I can say with firsthand experience that this 1000% works.
00:22:49.000 --> 00:23:03.669
We were doing a development in a place called Southfields where what ended up happening was we were called for a flickering kitchen light and when we got to this kitchen flickering light, we recognized it was an old, original GE panel that had been completely twinned out to smithereens.
00:23:03.669 --> 00:23:10.242
It was an undersized system, but it was what it was Turns out due to the age of the system and how it was installed.
00:23:10.242 --> 00:23:16.709
We found out that there was a breaker that was not turning off and had weak connections due to the age.
