Questions people actually ask
How do electricians win more work in South Africa?
Two ways: answering urgent call-outs before a competitor does, and following up on quotes that go quiet. Most electrical quotes are never chased a second time, and a large share of that work is still winnable a week later.
What is the best way for an electrician to get Google reviews?
Ask on WhatsApp, the same day the job is signed off, while the customer still has the relief of working power fresh in mind. Emailed review requests are largely ignored; WhatsApp requests are read.
