The Business of Being an Electrician

Electricians are often sole traders or owners of small companies. Owning your own business is a positive thing but how many electricians have formal training or qualifications in business management? Third party help is available, especially when it comes to finance and accounting – it’s essential to have a level of business knowledge when owning your own company.

To help with this, Schneider Electric have released a ‘Build My Business’ e-book full of handy tips and advice for electricians on setting up, running and growing an effective business.

> THE E-BOOK CAN HELP WITH THE FOLLOWING: ▸ Initial steps - business plans and getting the right insurance in place

▸ Financing the company - budgeting, managing tax and collecting payment from customers

▸ Generating new custom - digital promotion, creating a strong website, email campaigns and direct mail

▸ Customer etiquette - how much thought should be put into tone of voice and body language? Should you always remove your shoes in someone’s home?

Satisfied customers lead to recommendations, which lead to more business

▸ Plus plenty of other tips on how to grow an electrical company, including branching out into the smart home space
