Put Your Systems in the Right Perspective
Before anything else, you want to get your systems running efficiently. If projects get choked up in your systems, there will be no use in growing your business or winning new jobs.
Get Your Branding in Perspective
The next step to growing your business is to speed up your branding.
When it comes to branding, many people assume it to be business cards, logos, etc. Others, on the other hand assume branding to be any visual thing in your business that impacts clients.
In our article, we are looking at it in terms of any physical identity used in your business, such as the following:
Logo
Business name
Uniform
Stationery
Website
Business cards
Vehicle signage
You need to get this right because you want to win more businesses and, in the process, increase your revenue. You want to ensure that you have the appearance of a business that deserves more jobs.
Invest in Marketing
There are a ton of ways to advertise your electrical contracting business. Some of the ways to market your business include LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Search Engine Optimization, and Google Ads.
Getting Off the Tools
Perhaps, like many electricians, you have the goal of “getting off the tools.”
For some electricians, this might mean spending more time quoting than doing the physical work all day, daily. While for others, it might signify not being involved in the daily electrical business while chasing other options for pleasure or business.
You want to get off the tools to grow your business. This will enable you to spend more time on the business instead of spending time in the business. By this, you want to be spending time on strategizing, pursuing new opportunities, process improvement, and building relationships rather than spending all day every day on the tools.
