You're too expensive... Quote knock back! | 178
Electricians are often told that we're too expensive, but most of the time, the clients don't even know what it costs to run an electrical business. Or perhaps you've just got the wrong type of clients coming to your electrical business.ย

Why the f#$k would I pay for a switchboard? It works! | 173
A quick fix that gets the power back on can cost you the switchboard upgrade. This week Iโm talking about why clients walk away from a signed quote the moment something works again, with two real stories from a Sydney electrician and one of my own that cost me a block of townhouses.
If you run an electrical business and youโve ever lost the proper job after being too nice on the day, this oneโs for you.

Your electrical clients carry pain. Find it. Get more work | 172
Electricians tend to fixate on electrical jargon and the features of a product, but deep down, what really gets quote conversions is understanding your client's pain points.ย

I Purchased ANOTHER Sparky Business & I Got Jeff! | 155
If you're thinking about purchasing an electrical business, this is probably worth a listen...
Someone offers you their electrical business. Solid reputation, 30 years in the game, fifty grand profit on paper. Sounds like a no brainer, until you meet Jeff. In this episode I break down what you're actually buying, the fake profit trap, and the one question that kills most deals before they start.

Floor-Number Profit Model for Electricians | 150
Electricians are obsessing over hourly rates and material markups. I scrapped all of that. I run my entire business off one number, and every single day I know at a glance whether I'm in the green or the red. In this episode I break down exactly what that number is, how I landed on mine, and why I wish someone had told me this years ago. It would have made me money a lot earlier. It'll do the same for you.

Two things hit me last week. A $14,600 BAS bill landed in my lap. And I got beaten on an EV charger quote by someone doing it for $1,500.
