big TVs are heavy (part 5/6)


Took me a few days, but I'm back with part 5.

Got lazy/busy this past week and never finished my business tips I learned from buying a new TV.

So let's get to it...

My last email was about making it easy for your customers to buy your thing and give you money. (If you missed that one, or any of the other parts, I'll have links in the P.S. of this email)

Today I'm going to go over what I learned when installing my new TV. And how it relates to your on-the-job work.

Since you're the expert in your industry, I'm sure you have your service down a lot better than I do when I do random one-off jobs like installing a TV.

But me being me, I was just ready to get the TV up on the wall.

So me and my wife unpacked it and set it on the couch to get started.

Right off the bat, we ran into a slight issue:

This new thick 75" TV was wayyyy bigger and heavier than the slim 65" we had.

But I devised a plan to put it on the stand while I got the wall mount installed and everything plugged in, then slide it up off the stand and onto the wall. Easy peasy.

One problem: the TV wasn't stable on the stand without the screws in it like my last one was.

Long story short, nothing really went to plan.

Then we went to lift it onto the wall and realized just how heavy it really was (even though the delivery guy carried the whole thing in by himself haha)

Doesn't help that my wife is pretty short.

But we got it up there.

Then started having second thoughts on whether we even liked it or not... But more on that tomorrow.

All of this to say:

Be prepared for the job. And make sure you have the right tools and the right people for the job.

Sure, I could've called a friend to help me out. But we were mid lift when we realized how hard this would be with just us two.

But as I said earlier, I'm sure you know your work and your employees. So hopefully you won't run into these issues I seem to find myself in all the time with my random projects around the house and on my car.

I was pretty good at being prepared for jobs when I ran my mobile car stereo business, though. Still sucked when I forgot something though haha.

Anyway, just something to keep in mind. And maybe give you a reason to laugh at me.

I'll tell you this, though: I do have the right tools in place when it comes to helping small businesses get more google reviews. Namely, my 5 Star Authority Engine that you've probably heard me mention before.

Yesterday I talked about the importance of follow up. (If you missed that one, I'll have a link in the P.S. of this email) Today I'm going to go over something equally important in your sales process. Something that could make or break a deal that should already be done. See, after I did my TV research and found the one I wanted, we went back to Best Buy to get it. I wanted to go to the store instead of buy online for a few reasons: One, I may get lucky and find a last minute open box deal....

Yesterday I talked about knowing your product. (If you missed that one, I'll have a link in the P.S. of this email) Today I'm going to go over something equally important in your sales process. Something that will automatically put you in the top 20% of your industry. It's simple. You probably think you're already doing it. But most people don't. That thing is Follow Up. Something the Best Buy employee did not do at all (I'm not even sure if Best Buy sales reps are even allowed to follow up,...

Ok, I think I got most of my thoughts back into my notes (if you remember from the last email, I deleted my notes haha) Today I'm going to talk about what I learned in the sales process of buying a new TV. Once we decided to get a new TV, we made a quick trip to Best Buy to see what they had in our budget. And to see if we could get lucky with any open box deals. Got to the store and received pretty immediate help. Unfortunately no open box deals for what we were looking for, though. Oh well....
