Top tips to grow your plumbing business: for Installers by Installers
Find and develop your niche. Is it commercial, domestic, a bit of both? Do you specialise in inner city jobs or are you based out in the sticks? Let the customer know. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket – meaning don’t just work for one builder and expect to get all their work. Be up to date on all of your paperwork. Build a reputation: easily done when you have a happy customer after a jobs completion. Word of mouth is still the most effective method of getting work for tradespeople - make sure your customers are recommending you. If you do any work for a high profile client such as a school or council building make sure people know about it via social media on your website (if you have one). Get a website. There are still a LOT of plumbers out there, who don’t have a website. Prospective clients want to know about you, the work you’ve done, and what customers say about you. The best place for them to get that info is online.
