Thats a fair point, this video was more focused on sales techniques I use, but im currently working on a video about FINDING the work to sell. Stay tuned
Good Information on salesmanship!! I own a small business (wireless internet) and I use word of mouth to get more business mostly. That being said, I also utilize salesmanship like you mentioned to get jobs. Some business owners do not realize how important it is to interact well with customers. Just because you are good at your craft doesn't mean you won't need to create sales for extra income! Good customer service goes a long way too!
Good points! All of my customers are concrete companies that all want me on weekends. They don't want to stop producing during the week, so some tasks have to be done when down. I recently started charging an extra 25 per hour for weekends hoping it would discourage some. Nope they didn't care one bit, now I'm wondering how much I could charge. I'm so glad I don't have to price jobs or bid on work, that is a tough game. Thanks for the video ✌️
What's the oldest welder you've met or seen? I'm 44 but I've been a diesel mechanic since dinosaurs roamed the earth and am so burnt out on it, and welding looks like the way to go
All you did was talk about work ethic, you didn’t say how you actually get the jobs. Where to advertise, how to advertise. I’m a millwright but I’m working on getting my own rig setup so I can be my own boss. I plan on having a fan shop for most of my projects, but at first I might be mobile welding, I just don’t know where to start on telling people I know how to do anything. Also, I’m not certified anymore so do you have to be? I’m still a good welder but I just haven’t had a job to need certs, mine expired.
