Electrician invoice example for businesses

I want to make sure that if you're an electrician dreaming of becoming an electrical contractor or an electrical contractor constantly looking to level up that you listen closely to this podcast because I'm going to give you my top tips as a new electrical contractor of what you must do in 2024 to survive let's kick it off by the sponsor of this video jobber now I don't take one off sponsors I've done one or two I shouldn't say that but you know I like to do brand deals that are for at least a year I've been eyeing jobber to be the official software sponsor for the 360 electrician in 2024 and the reason I did that because I know a lot of you guys went all in on my previous software company well I'm not knocking that software company it has a place and is super important and you're still going to find all those videos on my channel here is the reason why I think jobber was the way to go in 2024 it's because if you're sitting here and you are listening to me right now and you are thinking about becoming an electrical contractor or you just became one or you're into this thing for a few years but you just don't know which direction to go or you're lost that's because my friends part of it is you probably don't have field service software am I correct if it's you then keep listening if not I want you to fast forward to the next section A lot of you guys in fact my surveys show that 70% of my subscribers are not signed up or have service software are you kidding me it's 2024 the reason I partnered with jobber is because I wanted no more excuses the price point that you're going to be able to get into to get incredible software that does all your scheduling your time clock your CRM customer retention and management your GPS tracking your in invoicing your estimates is going to be jobber they've got an incredible entry point if you're just starting out or even if you're a big company like I do I've got links down below but pretty much your link that if you're listening and you want to sign up so you can follow along in the next few months as I talk about field software and particularly jobber is going to be go.get jobber.com the360 electrician yes it's an affiliate link they are now the official sponsor but this is the way that I know you're going to sign up get your free trial right now follow along I'm going to have some specials that I'm going to do for those of you that sign up and you do an annual plan you email me with your receipt or username so I can confirm it with jobber and I've got something special for you coming next month in January so listen let's get back into jobber field service software is the only way that's going to put time zeros on your watch that means more time to do what you want live the lifestyle you want enjoy friends and family and all the things you want to do versus what I always say putting in a long day at work because you're a oneman two-man show and then going home to do what more work because now you got to do the invoicing the estimating and the scheduling why not get software like jobber using our link so that you can get everything done before you leave to go home that way when you walk in the door you get to enjoy the family friends and the things you want to do jobber is going to allow you to do that because a lot of things are going to be automated and I'm going to show you those things later on in the videos and in the courses that we're going to do in 2024 so tip number one for you is 100% go get jobber number two not a official sponsor I did do a commercial for them that's next Insurance why am I talking about next Insurance You' got to get insured for 2024 if you are not listen to me it's the biggest thing that's going to take your business down and I mean down going to bankrupt you going to cost your house your livelihood your marriage everything if you get a lawsuit for negligence you got to get covered I like next insurance I use it here in Montana in Los Angeles I'm also covered by Insurance it doesn't happen to be next insurance but I tell you why I get the coverage I do and why I pick next for Montana because I also do solar make sure that the general liability insurance you get even the auto Commercial Insurance whatever you get make sure it covers what you do so for all you people out there that are listening that say Jeff I've got general liability insurance I'm probably going to bet not a lot but I'm going to bet that your coverage does not cover you if you get on a ladder that's probably over 8 to 10t and I almost guarantee you it does not cover you to do any roof work or work at a certain height it also I almost guarantee you doesn't cover you to do solar wow most people won't even sign you up or give you a policy as soon as you mention any of those things so you got to make sure you're covered for those incidentals you don't want to all of a sudden say I'm going to do solar you get up to do your first project and somebody comes tumbling down and you're not covered or you get up on that roof and you drill that hole and byy golly that rain comes down like a SP it in the house and there goes a million dollars in inventory or Furniture you guys got to get covered so tip number one you got to get field software links down below tip number two you got to get insured that's general liability insurance that's workman's comp that is commercial auto insurance are you doing it I hope you do all right tip number three coming back to another sponsor of the channel I'm sorry and that sponsor is me you know that I do coaching I do coaching for electricians and electrical contractors besides my coaching you know I am one of the only resources out there that's going to give you the sample paperwork we're going to cover paperwork we're going to go over everything you need to know about having paperwork contracts to protect yourself now I'm not a lawyer accountant and I'm not your contractor's board everything I do and tell you is a sample starting point it's fully editable it's going to come just like this with a generic logo you can edit it any which way you want after you talk to your attorney your accountant and your State License Board all of the legal I have here is a sample only what are some of the samples Jeff what if you've signed a contract with a client to go ahead and wire up a pool equipment and they say hey Jeff uh I need this job done but I need it done by this Saturday and it's Tuesday and and you give a bid and the customer approves it and says great if you can do it to me by Saturday you've got the job all right so what do you do you sign up and you get the job started job signed everything's going good and then they come up to you and they say oh you know what we actually want to a couple of more lights on the way down to that Jacuzzi by the barbecue and you say sure no problem we'll take care of it an extra ,000 and they say great let's do it well now that job took you an extra day to do you didn't let the client know that you're not not going to be able to meet the Saturday appointment Saturday comes and the job's not done and you say hey I want to collect the deposit or the portion I did and they say nope not going to pay you why not you promised you'd get the job done by Saturday and you didn't meet your promise uhoh what are you going to do you don't have any paperwork you don't have a change order form or an order for additional work that they signed I'm sorry but good luck fighting that one because that is a real case scenario from a coaching client who got paperwork from me so those are the things that you want to think about hey how about you do a rewire job and it's an old house in the Hollywood Hills hm I remember doing a couple jobs like that in my lifetime and now you're pulling out all the cloth wire out of the black pipe right and then all of a sudden you come to a point where you can't pull the wire out so you shove your fish tape in and it only goes halfway you have a berry junction box uh-oh did you put on your contract that there might be some buried junction boxes and you're not liable and then there might be an extra charge not only to find the box so that you can do your job who's going to patch and paint it do you understand why this is so important you can't run the way you think you've been running that's been good all along because the time is going to come where that one little uh-oh is going to cost you a lot more than you know guys that's my top three for you you can take a look at all my coaching and paperwork on my website .the 360 electrician. comom don't forget about field software just try it you don't have to buy it jobber is going to hook you up you're going to get in at a great price and then you and I are going to come along over the next few months and talk about jobber and how we're using it to level up here in the Montana business and then don't forget your insurance next insurance is a great way to go find anybody you can little tip workers comp do it as you go pay as you go workers comp that's a little bit tip for you and then last but not least go and get the paperwork and the marketing from me at the 360 electrician. comom website guys appreciate you hope you like that mini course got a few surprises in 2024 one might be that we're finally able to
