ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade Business Related Discussion Electrical Success

LK, I agree. Just wish more guys around here would see it that way.

But the key to flat rate and correct pricing, is offering the service. if you don't offer the service the price you're charging, then there is a problem.

Sure, everything from how you respond to their call, to how you preform your work, all has to be delivered as promised.

Paul,Roger or Scott,
Couild this thread be moved to the Business Area?.

I plan on going into my own business in a few years. The discussion here has been priceless. Thanks fella's.

I agree Mike, this is a Business Area subject.

I have been reading your posts on Electricians' Success International. I have worked for the organization for some time now and the systems and programs work wonders for those who WANT to change their business. If you have the will and desire to change your business for the better, then ESI would work for your company. However, the opposite is also true. If you are happy where you are in your business and do not have the desire to change your company, ESI is not for you.
I am not trying to sell the membership to you, however, I will answer any questions you have about ESI. I suggest you come to one of our free profit days if you are interested in what ESI has to offer your company. At the very least, you will get re-juvenated about an industry that is so often overlooked!

When you say..

"I am not trying to sell the membership to you, however, I will answer any questions you have about ESI."

I ask...
How do the arrive at the $83,000 profit guarantee figure.

Thanks.

Nexstar's Bronxe membership is $8000 for the first year, $5000 initiation and $3000 per year after that. The $5000 includes over $4000 in software plus other fist time benefits.

Nexstar was the first of these type of organizations called Contractors 2000.

I think ESI was borne to get your company in postion to be sold or franchised. Its sister organizations, PSI and Airtime 500 now also sell franchises like Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and One-Hour Heating and Air Conditioning. Take what you will from that info based on your level of cynicism.

Also, ESI is a for profit organization. I personally don't have a problem with that, but it can be seen as suspect, especially when you realize that Nexstar's profits are put back into the organization.

I am anxious to see what the Electrical Franchise will be, maybe Mr. Sparky will go nation wide?

I hear that all attendees of the Success Days are made to sign a confidentiality agreement, and the attendees are told that a surprising outcome of this is that ESI is making real good money suing those attendees who breach this "contract".

I will be looking forward to seeing what the guy from ESI is actually able to share here, especially anything of substance other than a sales pitch.

Good Luck!

Oh, yeah. I am not associated with Nexstar or ESI.

This is where I think this is heading.
These franchises will all become a part of Clockwork Home Services. Will this put small shops out of business like Home Depot and Lowe's did to the small hardware stores?
Here's a line from their mission statement.

Services Company: We intend to become the world's largest and most profitable home service company.
