Hey guys!
So I’m sure this is a pretty regular topic of conversation and I have searched and read several forum topics on starting a low voltage company. There is definitely some great info on here about how to grow a small business in our field.
My question is for those of you who are currently growing your customer base in your local area, what do you do to get leads and fill work while getting your own jobs?
Here are some of the programs I have looked in to for generating income.
(1) Become a Nest Pro and install their devices (applied and got denied, likely to being too new)
(2) Ecobee Smart Devices (Same as Nest we applied and never for a response)
(3) HomeAdvisor (Haven’t tried yet, but have heard great things)
(4) Amazon Services (Also haven’t tried yet because we want to be more established before applying)
(5) TaskRabbit (Haven’t tried yet)
Now you may be wondering why the heck I have these options but don’t try them, long story short my business partner and I are both still employed full time with a commercial integrator and don’t have the customer based to quit and chase our business full time yet. Which is the reason I am looking for more options for generating work. I want to be able to fill our schedule as much as possible when the time comes.
That being said are there any other companies or programs you guys contract through or do work for that you would suggest for a local small business security/automation/av company?
Thanks much in advance
