April 2017
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. |
