could you make a video about subcontracting and how subcontracting works?
I can definitely do that.
I was gonna say please do this one! Thanks brother. You are like the only handyman work channel I watch now. And once I'm done with my big project my business is gonna be basically based on you. Thanks brother.
There are lots of good models, but I honestly think this one is extremely secure in the long term while still paying extremely well. Thanks for the compliment, I put a lot of effort into the channel and it means a lot to hear that it's actually useful.
A video on company policies you live by would be cool.
I'll add that to the list. My policies do change over time but I can do a video on where they have been, where they are, and where they might go
Great job!
Thanks!
I went to a national sales meeting for Rascal Power Scooters several years ago in Pennsylvania. I decided to shave my beard off because I'd never met these people before. I showed up and I was the only man there without any facial hair.
Oh no !
I have a talk with a great customer of mine 6 years ago
I showed up at her house clean on my buddy on working clothes but look like a uniform ( cargo pants/ white t shirt )
Second handyman on site to replace the fans on her house
Did that and a couple of light bulbs in the middle
One of the fans was noisy
I tried to fix it second time but motor was bad
Decided to replace it pay for it so she will be happy and will not call me to get something fixed that was out of my hands
She was surprised
Is one of my best customers since and as a designer recommended me to lots of other customers
The reason is a look presentable and when I do something I honor warranty on the work regardless of what it is
Look good look presentable but never forget the environment either
Great info. Really love these videos. With all honesty, this last year I’ve had some personal issues happen (mom passed, dog died, etc). And with all honesty I’ve unknowingly lost some motivation with my business. Reschedule jobs when I’m not feeling up for it and just not working for some people because I don’t want to be around people. Watching these videos is actually motivating… kind of like a re charge. Unsure why but it’s been enjoyable watching these videos.
I'm really glad the videos are helping. I can't say how I would react if I lost my Mom, but I know it will be the hardest thing I'll ever have to go through. I'm sure she'd proud of you for not giving up completely. I hope you get your groove back, but no judgement from here until you do. Good luck to you sir.
@@bulletproofhandyman I appreciate that man. Really do. My kids definitely keep me going. Kids are the best. A pain in the neck but they give you purpose. I’m sure you know that since your a father.
Kids are everything. No parent needs to ask what the meaning of life is because they already know.
Best thing I normally do is tell people what is going on
Busy/tired/where off
Truth set you free and when you say something it just release you some how instead of keeping all bubble up
If you are sad is ok if you are busy they will understand and what makes the difference is the honesty
@@JavierTenenbaum very true. Better then just reschedule for no real reason.
Great pointers. #4 really stuck out to me. This is really important and it can be hard to get down. You definitely have to set that tone down from the beginning.
You could definitely make an entire episode on that topic alone!
Thanks! I agree you could make a whole video just on that topic.
Great video! Your policy about requiring an adult to be present when you do work at a tenant-occupied property seems very wise. I can imagine all sorts of trouble that your policy would prevent.
I agree with your choice of follow-through being at the top of the list. There's a handyman who does all sorts of work on my street and he does really good work, but his follow-through is horrible (and the people that use him know it). It's his reputation on my street. He will frequently say things like I'll be back tomorrow morning at 10:00 to complete the work on some job. More often than not, he won't show up the next morning and won't call either. It makes them furious (and rightly so).
Yep that's our competition. You can create some loyalty by always doing what you say you'll do when you say you'll do it.
Your business and your name are the most important thing
If you say you do
If you don’t then you are not believable and loose all chances for future success
Awesome!! Thank you!
You're welcome!
1:39 had a tenant who I have done work for before, told me I look more like someone who should be working IT admin job because how I was dressed. I agree nobody wants a dirty looking contractor in their home.
Yep!
That's crazy
It's very important that we look as sharp, as professional as possible.
excellent advice... maybe you missed your calling... you're an excellent teacher...
Thank you
If this channel continues to grow I might not have missed that calling, just arrived really late lol
indeed.... Godspeed....
Excellent advice
Thanks!
How do you handle working on filthy rentals? I don’t mean trash everywhere and it smells bad. But an actual health risk with mold everywhere, fleas, and rodents. A pm asked me to give an estimate on a place like that and my initial thought was to pass and say “ Sorry I can’t work here it’s too filthy. “ but I instead increased the estimate 2x because I didn’t really want to do it. Pm has since ghosted, did I mess up?
That's unfortunate but I would have done the same thing and I have done the same thing. If a place is truly a health risk then the property manager should expect that. Like I said, I would have done the same thing and I have done the same thing.
Thanks!
You're welcome!
Awwww thank you!
Great video! Thank you, sir!
You're welcome!
Great video. Right on point!
Thanks! Please feel free to add any tips and tricks you have as well. I'll be doing a more in depth video on mud at some point.
You mention not working on a project if there isnt an adult there if it is an occupied residence, which makes sense. My other thought is maybe recording your work and saving it to your CRM? Is it legal to record inside a residence if its a liability mitigation issue?
I considered it. After a lot of consideration I ultimately felt that it was too much time and resources for the unlikely possibility that I would need it. To be honest, I'm not fully decided on that. I could easily change my mind if I found the right product that I didn't really have to turn on and off or manage or upload and download etc... I may very well do that someday, but not yet.
That is their home and most likely not legal to record without the tenants permission. Even if they aren't their, it's still their home. Definitely talk to a good lawyer if you are considering it. It would be bad to turn an accused theft into a lawsuit.
Do you have a constant time on when you go live or is it random? I would love to sit in on these when they appear! Great information in ALL your videos!
It's pretty random. My actual handyman business is what pays my bills so it takes priority. Whenever I have the time I step aside and either film the video to post or if I don't have time to do all of that then I just start a live and wing it.
@@bulletproofhandyman I think it is great that your doing this, also when you say what you are doing out loud and talking through your day, it helps you find what works and what don't in your overall plan. Since I found this channel I have been binge watching everyday and between traveling to jobs...lol
That's awesome! I really hope you find it useful.
When you have something like a garbage disposal to work on, do you ask the person to clear out the cabinet before you arrive so that your time is just all work, and what do you do if they haven't or they expect you to do it?
I usually just clear out the cabinet myself when I get there. It never takes more than 1 minute. I do ask them to clear away things if I'm doing drywall work and I also ask them to clean the toilet if I'm going to be working on the toilet.
A lot of my elderly customers have difficulty clearing out the cabinet. I assure them it's no problem at all, and I get a lot of repeat and referral business.
Man are ceiling fan recievers that interchangeable? Ive never had someone ask me to fix their ceiling fan, not that i can recall, they usually just want new ones. If receivers are that universal tho ill keep one in van shit..
Yeah they can be swapped out pretty easily. I buy receivers that come with a new remote so that I don't have to worry about programming the new receiver to the old remote.
You are not gen x
That's an odd thing for you to say... You do realize it's not a subjective opinion right?
@@bulletproofhandyman
1981 and after are millennials.
That's correct...
So that would make me GenX
