The Power of the Question

Dear entrepreneur,

Here's a quote that's worth thinking about.
The quality of your life will be in direct proportion to the questions you ask.

My business coach has said on many occasions, that so many people, will read the book, go to the seminar, take the occasional class and it stops there. The good books, training events, and classes will have powerful questions at the end or in the implementation guide.

Significant growth happens when you take the time to answer these questions. Most entrepreneurs don’t spend any real time asking quality questions, reflecting and thinking into their unique situation.

The classes, the mentoring, and coaching is only the catalyst to get you started. What you do after the fact, is what makes the difference.

What are the special needs of the people you serve?
With whom are you competing?
What makes you different from your competitors?
What unique benefits do your potential clients get from the service you offer?
If the customer asks you why should I buy from you, what would you say?

Can you and the staff you employ, list at least six reasons and benefits of why someone should do business with you?

Take some time today and think into these questions that I'm asking you. Write them down and look at them often. Make changes, when changes are needed. Send me an e-mail with your answers and I'll go over them with you. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

To your success ~ James Brush.

What your fellow electricians say about ES2.

New member here. I went into business in 89 and have been flat rating for about 15 years. I was trying to find one program to get rid of 6 that I was using.I found it! There is so much great information in the forum, and the contributions by everyone is nothing like I've ever seen. Tight group in here. The forums are worth the monthly fee alone.

I have been using the system for nearly four years now. To call this anything less than essential would be doing a disservice to what it has done for me. The amount of time it saves me from office paperwork is priceless. I no longer need to come home after a long day and type up handwritten notes into spreadsheet and mail out an invoice or quote. Everything is done onsite. My customers receive quotes nearly instantaneously, and I'm no longer trying to estimate on the fly. The team at ES2 is very attentive and constantly striving to help advance my business as a whole. I'm glad I can count of them being in my corner when I need them.
