It’s time to evaluate your plumbing business, and make some changes to enhance your bottom line. Ask yourself: How’s my business doing? Could I be more profitable? What could I do to get more business?
Tips to Increase Business
Bring in more business with these helpful tips:
Professionalism
Do not overlook professionalism. Looking and acting professional are basics, yet many service companies don’t make it a priority. Evaluate your practices:
- Do your workers treat customers and co-workers with respect?
- Do you require your employees to dress neatly (shirts tucked in, hair combed)?
- How do you answer the phone? Does everyone answer the phone consistently?
Hire the Best, and Keep Them
Your employees represent you and your company, all the time. Ensure you hire only those you want to represent your business. Once you have a great employee, make sure you keep him happy and satisfied with his job.
- How do you hire people? Where do you look? What are your requirements?
- What is your turn-over rate?
- Do you inspire your employees, or reward and praise them for a job well done?
Sell Your Services
Make sure your employees arrive on-time and complete their jobs promptly. Just as importantly, require your employees to find more work if they can. If you offer a free 10-minute evaluation, you could turn up more work. More work means more money.
Organize Your Work Vans
If your employees work out of vans, make sure those vans are organized. Being organized instills trust and confidence in your clients. It also keeps things running smoothly and efficiently. How organized are you? If your employees are taking too long to finish work, or consistently misplace tools or equipment, it’s time to organize.
