Electrician7:
In addition to Gregs very good comments, I want to ad:
I started out 30 years back, as a '1-man band' with work coming from a person I respected, and had a working relationship with. He was a plumb/HVAC contractor, and I was a foreman for an EC. I went out on my own, and he called me, & introduced me to a few 'good' people.
Thru the years, those 'few' intro's to 'more' & the beat went on! Basically, it was a good run for 27 years! Expanded to five trucks, eight men. 98% commercial/industrial work, with a lot of maintenance. All referrals, no advertising to speak of.
That said, returning calls, and showing up is what I conside 'priority one'. Along with that, first class work, neat appearances, & continued reliability.
Getting the 'first' (or second) step or foot in the door is the key. having the door 'open' & remaining 'open' requires great service & response.
Good luck! Stay safe, & WELCOME to ECN! Don't be a stranger to this forum!!
