Frequently Asked Questions
How do electricians create estimates on-site with Business Genie?
The mobile app lets electricians build professional estimates in 10-15 minutes while with the customer. They select items from your company price book—panel types, wire gauges, breaker sizes, labor hours, permit costs. They can add photos of the existing electrical system to document what needs work. The system calculates totals including tax and any permit fees. Electricians can create multiple options (repair the existing panel vs. upgrade to 200 amps vs. add a subpanel) so customers can choose. Estimates are emailed/texted for e-signature approval, often before the electrician leaves.
What is tiered pricing and how does it help electrical contractors?
Tiered pricing (good-better-best) means offering three options instead of a single quote. For a panel upgrade: "Good" is repairing the existing panel ($800), "Better" is a 150-amp upgrade ($2,400), "Best" is a 200-amp upgrade with whole-home surge protection ($3,800). This approach increases average ticket size by 20-30% because customers often choose the middle option. It also reduces price objections—customers feel empowered to choose rather than pressured. Business Genie makes building tiered estimates fast with pre-configured option packages.
How does electronic signature work for electrical estimates?
When the electrician presents the estimate, customers approve with an e-signature on the tech's tablet or their own phone via a text/email link. No app download required—they tap the signature field and sign with their finger. The signed estimate is timestamped and legally binding. It's stored in the customer record and can be referenced later. Same-day approval rates typically jump 40% compared to leaving paper estimates behind, because customers don't "need to think about it" or lose the paperwork.
Can Business Genie track which electrical estimates get approved?
Yes. The analytics dashboard shows your estimate conversion rate—overall and broken down by job type (service upgrades, new circuits, rewires), price range, and electrician. You see which types of jobs close most often and at what price points. You can identify if certain electricians are better at closing specific job types. You can also see how long estimates sit before being approved or declined, helping you optimize follow-up timing for pending quotes.
