Grow Your Business to Help More Customers
Most home owners are always on the defensive when you tell the cost of your service. You make a 60 minute trip and fix their problem in 15 and they only want to pay for those 15 mins of work.
No blame, these customers are unaware what it takes to get an expert at their comfort of their home.
When you service one such customer, kindly and friendly explain the expenses involved in the cost of your service. You are running a business and proving a service.
Your Time, Fleet Maintenance, Employees, Insurance, Marketing, Office space, Tools, Gas, Tolls, Phone Line, Material Acquisition, etc.
Do Great Work and Give Outstanding Service
Before you go out and start skyrocketing your prices, make sure your service it is worth it to the customer. Have a good garage door website that is focused on bringing customer in and get the convert them into customers.
• Communicate and get approval before you do ANY work
• Be there when you say you will be there.
• Be respectful and friendly
• ALWAYS clean up after your work
• Avoid/Make your call backs
• Offer quality parts and equipment
Your ideal customer
Not everyone out there is your customer. There are some companies who offer cheap or used door but most homeowners do not want that kind of service. To work with your favorite customer you first need to bring them in to your website when they are looking for your service.
A good web site will sell your business online 24/7. It works best to have it optimized to convert visitors into actual clients. Like the one looking for help with a broken spring.
Imagine Amanda has a broken spring and doesn’t know what to do. You know you can use your remote, stand by the door, and help the opener lift, but she does not.
She does not have a Yellow Book. She has a smart phone, so she will probably Google something like “garage door repair in…your town”.
Are you in the first page of Google? If you are, congratulations buddy! You will get the call. If you are not, check this site and they can get you there.
If you have any other question or doubts about how to price your service or to rank higher on Google in your local area, shoot me a tex or call 773-869-2299 on working hours. Not on a Saturday night when I am out enjoying a beer with friends at a bar.
