Marketing and lead generation for electrical businesses: how to stop depending on one builder, get found for the work you want, and keep the board full through the quiet weeks after Christmas. Built for owners, not for agencies.

Sound Like Your Electrical Business?

One builder is most of your turnover

When they are busy you cannot breathe. When they go quiet, or go under owing you a progress claim, so does your year. You know the risk and you have never had a spare week to build another source of work.

The leads you get are price shoppers

The phone rings for a downlight swap and a quote comparison, never the switchboard upgrade or the commercial fit out. You are competing on hourly rate against a bloke with no overheads, and winning that job would hurt.

Marketing happens only when work dries up

Flat out in November, so nothing goes out. January comes, the board is empty, and you panic post on Facebook and drop your price. The feast and famine cycle repeats every year and you have started planning your life around it.

A business with one source of work is one phone call away from a bad year, and the discounting you do to survive it takes two years to undo.

Marketing and lead generation

Here Is What We Do About It.

The marketing and lead generation training in the Learning Hub shows you how electrical businesses actually get found and chosen: the offer, the follow up, the reviews, the referral engine and the work worth chasing. Business Foundations and coaching keep you doing it in the busy months, not just the quiet ones.

How it works

Three Steps, Starting Tonight.

Step 1

Fix what happens to the leads you already get

Most trade businesses do not have a lead problem first. They have a follow-up problem. We start where the money is already leaking, because it is free to fix.

Step 2

Build one channel properly

One channel that works beats five that half work. The training walks the whole thing: the offer, the proof, the ad, the page and the call back.

Step 3

Make the phone ring on purpose

A pipeline you can turn up when the diary looks thin in six weeks, rather than hoping the referrals land in the same month the wages do.

What changes

What Electrical Business Marketing Actually Changes.

Three things electrical business owners walk away able to do.

Build a second and third source of work so one builder cannot sink your year

Write an offer that attracts switchboard and rewire work, not downlight shoppers

Run a marketing routine that keeps going while you are flat out on site

Questions

Electrician Business Marketing, Answered.

How do electricians get work without relying on word of mouth?
By making the existing word of mouth systematic and adding channels on top: a proper Google presence, reviews asked for on every job, a follow up on every quote that went cold, and a reason for past customers to call you again. Most electrical businesses are not short of leads, they are short of follow up.
Should I chase domestic, commercial or solar and EV work?
Whichever one your business is built to deliver profitably, which usually means the one you can price and repeat. Solar needs SAA accreditation, batteries need the battery endorsement for rebate eligible installs, and EV charger work needs no accreditation at all. Coaching helps you choose based on your margin, not on what looks busy.
Do I need to spend money on ads to get more electrical work?
Not first. Fix the free things before you buy attention: answer the phone, quote same day, follow up, ask for the review. Most electrical businesses lift revenue on those alone. When you do advertise, you want a rate that carries the cost of a lead, which is a pricing job before it is a marketing one.
