A member came to me with a pitch from a local suburb newsletter promising his ad would land in 1,800 inboxes every week.

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.

I draw a straight line between selling a used car and marketing your electrical business, because they are basically the same game.

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.

Ever quoted an electrical job and never heard back? Most electricians are getting wrong without even knowing it, and it's costing you jobs you'll never see on a report. It's not your pricing. It's not your follow up.
