Independent sparkies are paying $4,000 to $5,000 a month to generate half the leads Jim's Electrical delivers for $620 a month.
This is the conversation most electricians running their own business need to watch.Cam Scott has run Jim's Electrical for 18 years.
In this video he sits down with Joel to break down the real cost comparison between staying independent and joining Jim's Electrical as a franchisee.
Cam covers the fee structure, the lead volume, the conversion rates, and why franchisees regularly get blown away by the work in their first week.
One franchisee in regional Victoria had 15 five-star reviews in his first two weeks. Another is turning over close to $700,000 a year with four staff, paying around $25,000 in total annual fees.
