Competition:

There are many electrical contractors in the company’s service area, but they have significant differentiators giving it a clear advantage over its competitors. The first advantage is always providing the best of quality in workmanship compared to its competitors. Second, their superior customer service, provided by well-educated and properly trained electricians makes the company a standout.  In addition, the company has 6 fully stocked service vehicles to keep each job properly supplied from day to day; a key ingredient necessary to satisfy customer deadlines. These factors are the foundation to their success including perhaps the most critical by any measure in the construction industry, a stable highly skilled workforce!

Potential Growth:

There is significant opportunity to continue growing their Generac generator business with increased new installations, maintenance contracts and adding remote monitoring services.

The plan of action to dynamically grow the business includes the following:

  • Hire a sales rep/estimator and technician to focus on sale of generators and maintenance contracts for residential customers. This residential electrician and/or generator technician would bring down costs for generator maintenance and installations.
  • Hire a sales rep/estimator to focus on commercial and industrial service work.
  • Offer remote monitoring of generator maintenance contracts for an additional $100/year.
  • Develop relationships with Lowe’s, Home Depot and Menards for referral electrical work.
  • Have 6 fully-equipped trucks and not using all today. Each truck should produce $500,000 in revenue annually.  The service truck is used primarily for generator maintenance.
  • Higher focus on residential generator sales and build a recurring revenue stream of $1 million.
