It’s About Education
“Who you gonna call?”
“It’s all about the “Trust Factor”
You will want to do a phone interview first. When you call, you should have a list of questions to ask. Questions like; what are the hours of operation? How are “after hour calls” handled? What licenses does the business hold? Does the business belong to any associations? Is the business a member of the Chamber of Commerce or the Better Business Bureau? Does the business have a web site? Make a list of the items that are important to you.
After you have picked the company you would like to choose from, call back and ask to talk to the owner of the company. Tell the owner that you are interviewing a company to find the one you would be most comfortable calling on an on-going basis or in an emergency situation.
Ask the owner the following question and when you do, listen carefully to his response. Ask if his plumber will come to your home to perform a “FREE HOME INSPECTION” of your plumbing and heating systems. If you sense any hesitation to perform the “free home inspection” this may be the wrong service company for you. A smart “client oriented” business owner would consider that invitation a great opportunity to impress a new, potential client.
Communication is the key
You want to interview two plumbers because every plumber is different. You want to find the best one for you and your situation. Communication is the key, so choose the plumber you feel you would get along with best.
Again, be prepared to ask a lot of questions. Make a list of questions and give the list to each plumber. If you need a list of the most important questions to ask, I have made a “free” list for you to print out at the end of this letter.
The Comfort Zone
The Big Decision
Now that you have spent all this time and effort, it is time to make the big decision. By now you have probably narrowed your choice to one or two experts. Before making the final decision you need to consider a few more things. Notice that I have not yet talked about price. Price is important but it should not be your top priority. You are looking for a plumber that you can trust and feel comfortable with in your home. That is your top priority. If the expert you like is with a lower priced company, great! If the expert you like is with a more expensive company, but you feel he is genuinely trustworthy, isn’t he worth the price?
It is always best to use a company that uses a “flat rate” pricing system. “Flat rate” pricing means the expert will come to your home. Look at and diagnose your problem and then quote you a price from a “printed menu” price book. The ‘flat rate” system is fair and equitable to all concerned. Here is a list of a few of the many reasons this system is beneficial to both you and the plumbing company.
1. You know the price before the work begins. It is easy to budget your finances.
2. You don’t have to watch the clock worrying about the time it is taking to finish the job.
3. You don’t have to be concerned about the cost of the material.
4. The price should be fair to allow the plumbing company to make a profit. You want your “local, trusted family plumber” to be able to afford to stay in business
How to save money on your favorite plumber!
Would you like to save money on your favorite, trusted plumber? The best way to save money on your service work is with a “Service Contract”. A “service contract” usually includes an inspection of your mechanical systems, waives all trip charges, (my service company does and that is a $39.00 savings each trip), gives discounts off the “flat-rate” book price and always gives “top priority” to it’s “contract clients”. Every company has different perks for their “service contracts” so you must consider this when interviewing your plumbing company. “Service contracts” do cost the client money, but sometimes you have to “spend money” to “save money”. Most service company charge a fee for the “service contract” to give it value and in return, you, the client, receive an even higher value through their quality service and lower prices.
It’s all very clear now!You have your favorite grocery store, hair salon, doctor. You have your favorite auto mechanic, restaurant, babysitter. We all have our favorite businesses and business people. Having your own favorite plumbing company and “local, trusted family plumber” makes sense! Don’t wait for the “emergency” to catch you “off guard”. Trust your family, home and valuables to someone you know and who will treat you right.
