The solution to my problem is quite simple, however, there is something that may or may not be another part of my solution. The simple part of the solution is to create a company that provides the necessary plumbing and electricity related services to these people that cannot find reasonable answers to their household problems. I will of course have to create a company and all the background logistics included with that. I also will have to hire and train (or find trained) employees that I am certain that they can fix the problems related to each and every job. Next, I will have to spend time and money on researching areas or regions in the United States with rising incomes and areas where the majority of the population are waning away from the service related industries. I will need to pinpoint specific areas and advertise there in order to gain knowledge of what my company provides.
For the second part of my solution, I would love to work with a team of engineers and come up with some smart technology that can constantly monitor their electrical lines and check their plumbing in order for them and me, as their client, to be aware of any future problems so that I can notify them and fix the problems as they occur. This also will ensure that these clients are returning customers and to instill in them a sense of commitment by my company that we will be there with them through all their problems.
Something to consider though, from what you said in the last post, is that less and less people want to be plumbers, electricians, etc. So how will you find these people that will service your company? Are you going to advertise to tech schools and hire people that graduate?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a plan. However my only concern would be on how you would actually find people to work in these jobs. I'd suggest possibly recruiting high school graduates who are not going to college. Also, you'd have to consider that serving wealthier districts means that your employees would need to have salaries that could help them reside in these districts.
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great idea and would be a great service to the community. Surely, as so called "smart-homes" become more popular, the kind of services you describe where the house can be monitored for issues as they come up will become more common. Your idea could be the start of that trend! I know I would be interested in using this service in my home!
