Electrical Lords // The True Cost Of Being An Average Business Owner (Part One)27 May 202500:22:08

Ah business ownership, what a blessing. AND OMG WHAT A CURSE SOMETIMES!! 


The question is, who do you answer to when you are the top dog? 


Maybe you answer to no one. 


And maybe some days when you’re performing that’s ok.  


Maybe some other days, when you could be legit replaced by a potato, it’s actually not ok.


In this two part series we discuss the key components that make up a business owners successful day / week / month / year. 


Plan. Prioritise. Execute. Reflect. Repeat. 


Put simply, be the best version of yourself that you can be! 


Much love xx

What a time to be alive!

Electrical Lords // Should You Even Care About Quote Conversion Rates?22 May 202500:28:32

This question is kinda rhetorical but kinda not tbh. 


We discuss including, but not limited to, the following topics re: quote conversions: 


-how a 10/10 conversion rate can mean you have excellent long term customers

-how a 10/10 conversion rate can also mean you are too cheap and are targeting the wrong customers  

-why it’s important to assess where the leads are coming from (ie FB ads might be 50%, repeat clients may be 80%, cold calls might be 0%) 

-assess the type of lead/s (are they quality / time wasters etc) 

-the importance of checking if there any rhyme or reason with the converted ones vs the not converted ones (ie quote out on site, quote out on time, follow up call made, follow up procedure etc) 

-checking if you actually had the available resources (ie staff) to service the job

-could there have been better questions asked in the quote stage (ie more information, ask if anyone else is quoting, ask about budgets etc) 

-ask the client for feedback if you lose the job (was it to someone else, a better system, a better price etc) 

-looking into your response time (ie delayed on return phone call or initial email response) 

-quote presentation + why it matters sometimes but not all the time 

-and last but not least, the age old “ oh no I am being too difficult to deal with” (ie admin to owner to operations back to admin lost in translation)

Electrical Lords // Why Word Of Mouth Is King And You Shouldn’t Buy Into Growth Hype20 May 202500:39:21

The title might sum this up completely tbh. 


In a world of hustle hustle growth growth revenue revenue and “I got up at 2am to exercise I am already 4 hours in front of you” it’s time to chill tf out. 


Let’s face it, there really is no rival to word of mouth advertising. 


And growth? Yeh it will come with time. But let’s make sure the numbers are correct first. 


Plus much more as always. 


Much love xx. 


Electrical Lords // The Sparky Coach Lounge Room ft David Long17 May 202501:25:36

This week on the lounge room we have the absolute privilege of having David Long from RJ Air as our guest. 


Founded in 1977, RJ Air have established themselves as the industry leaders across the high end residential and commercial sectors. 


With a core emphasis on sustainable growth, retaining excellent staff, nailing the 1%ers, using the best materials and working for the right clients; it’s no wonder the brand has cemented itself as a staple with elite architects and builders across eastern Sydney. 


Almost 50 years and 3 generations in, the business is going as strong as ever and there are no plans of slowing down.


Dave, along with his father Ron, are some of the wisest and most generous people I have ever met.

Electrical Lords // Raising Your Rates On July 114 May 202500:32:28

Can you believe the financial year descends upon us like the looming second coming of the electrical gods? 


Nah, us neither. 


We discuss the importance of raising your rates, how to do it, who needs to know, and the best way to tell them. 


Also a bit of an EOFY discussion too. 


Pls keep in mind that we are not accountants but we do hold Cert 3’s in Electrotechnology, which we believe places us above most people in life. 


Get it where you get ya pods. 



Much love xx

Electrical Lords // The True Cost Of Keeping Average Admin Staff13 May 202500:20:45

Ok ok so this one hits home to everyone who has ever employed an admin. 


If you’re underprepared it can be very stressful. A complete bloodbath of double handling and micro managing you may say.


On the other hand if you wait for everything to be perfect you will never do anything.


Either way though, you need some excellent people in the office aka the engine room. 


No wonder our first commandment is “The Money Is Made Or Lost In The Office”.


Much love xx 


Electrical Lords // The Sparky Coach Lounge Room ft Fordy10 May 202501:26:14

This week we have the pleasure of having the self appointed and self anointed "Ford Lord" back on the lounge again.


We chat through credit cards, working for builders, contracts, variations, the pros and cons of doing cost plus work, back costing, and our mutual hate for the coaching industry lol. 


I always love and value the time I get to spend talking to Fordy and we are so stoked to bring these lounge room chats to your ears via online sorcery. 


Pls light a candle to the electrical gods or risk eternal damnation. 


Get it where you get ya pods. 


Much love xx


Electrical Lords // The Importance Of Business Mojo07 May 202500:15:39

Have you ever lost your business mojo Austin Powers style? 


Maybe it was something to do with money, or staff, or health, or family, or too much work, or not enough work, or clients, or someone hassling a price, or the product which was once good is not so good anymore (omg). . 


Whatever the case may be, how do you effectively show up every day with your mojo in tact? Is there some secret trade / electrical god source you can tap into? 


In the latest episode we explore how to get your mojo back, how to keep it, and how to roll into mojo town (population you) for the foreseeable future.  


Get it where you get your pods xx

May the trade gods bless you in all your endeavours.

You would be surprised however simple the answers actually are.

Electrical Lords // Scheduling Like A Boss25 Mar 202500:11:52

We break down the ins, the outs, the items to look out for, the items not to look out for, hiring indicators + more and have a big old discussion around all things scheduling.

In this episode we discuss 2025 goals and talk all things numbers. 


Here’s what we believe you should set your sights on this year:


-a market wage (ie what you could earn at another company) + a net profit of 20% 

-a consistent + predictable flow of good quality work with good quality clients  

-consistent + predictable working hours 

-make the company an asset which collects other assets 

-the power of choice (ie stay, sell, scale etc) 



May the trade gods bless you in all your endeavours. 


Much love x 

Electrical Lords // The 7 Inch Sparky 10 Mar 202500:10:58

The title may be a little misleading here tbh (lol). 


In this episode we break down our thought pattern on why we don’t believe in putting our clients in front of a camera for a testimonial. 


Sure it’s great for our business. But the real question is, is it the best thing for your business?


As people who are paid to operate in the best interest of our clients, we believe the answer to that question is no. No, it is not in fact not great for your business. 


By plastering your success (ie “I 10x’d my revenue!” “I 3x my profits!” “My bicep is 5 inches bigger!” etc) you draw unnecessary attention to yourself that goes out to your future ideal clients, your current ideal clients, your staff, your competitors, your friends and your family. 


This attention can haver disastrous ramifications on your current + future business endeavour. 


(Side note: we do collect google reviews from our clients which we feel is different. We currently have 117 and counting). 


Enjoy the pod! xx 

Electrical Lords // All I Want For Christmas Is My Dream Client But Nah We’re Shut Soz About It 14 Dec 202400:17:28

In the pod we break down the pros and cons of having your business take a closure over the Christmas break. 


While we are definitely all for lifestyle and livin’ it up in the depths of Positano with optional shirt and unconditional tap beer in hand, it’s also important to recognise that maybe not everyone needs to know that you’re not going to answer the phone for 2 weeks. 


Or is it? Does anyone really know the answer? 


We consult the trade gods as usual. Seek and ye shall find.


Enjoy! Much love x

Electrical Lords // All I Want For Christmas Is Some Donuts Bra 12 Dec 202400:20:07
  • In this episode, we delve deep to see if the Spice Girls were all talk when they say things like "if you wanna be my lover, you have got to give" and "taking it's too easy but that's the way it is".

  • Is Christmas the season to give, or be give to?

  • Is there actually an answer to this, or is it another chicken or egg conundrum?

  • Or is it the taco approach, where we can have the best of both worlds?

  • Either way, get after it!

  • Much love x
