April 2016

Greetings! 

Many business owners strive to be more successful, but often lose track of key goals in the heat of the season.   This year, commit to a strategy that will help you improve your net profit as you go:

 

Tip 1: Find better customers and projects.   Referral customers are generally the most profitable.   Plan referral marketing and follow-up fast on sales opportunities from referrals.

Tip 2:  Stop cutting your price to win work or "be nice".   There's plenty of work out there, so don't drop price because you're nervous or you're trying to win a new friend.  You owe your clients a great job, not a great job at a giveaway price.

Tip 3:  Stop using lousy subcontractors or suppliers. You risk your productivity and your reputation by cutting corners with second-rate business partners.  Avoid potential issues and losses by choosing wisely.

Tip 4:  Stop giving away extras. Demanding customers are good at covering you with special requests.  Be sure you are recording these and charging for them.  Do not allow your team members to give extra services for free.  That's your decision as an owner.

Take leadership to get the results you need and you deserve.   Let us know how we can help.

King Innovation Siphon King Hand Pumps       

 

To quickly remove water from valve boxes, meter pits, pipe trenches or anywhere water accumulates, King Innovation's Siphon King® Hand Pumps are the go-to choice.

 

Siphon King Hand Pumps are made in the USA, lightweight, corrosion proof and have a steel inner shaft for improved strength. The flexible discharge hose directs water, while the ergonomic handle can withstand extreme temperatures and harsh usage. These self-priming pumps are easy and quick to use. The 36" model pumps one gallon in four strokes!

 

King Innovation also offers Siphon King Pump accessories. The 24" Pump Extension fits onto the existing 24" or 36" pump at the base, which extends the length of the shaft and allows access to deep and hard to reach areas. Add multiple pump extensions to reach even deeper-it's been tested to reach up to 7'! Other replacement items include a 72" Extension Hose, Replacement Feet, and the Syringe Sucker which attaches at the base of the pump to remove water from narrow spaces.
