MARCH 2019 | 29 Installer Support Proud sponsors of the Installer Support feature expensive training courses. That’s why ERA has made its training courses free of charge and they will be approximately 85 percent practical; which means no lengthy classroom lectures, but plenty of hands-on experience to get you up-to-speed as quickly as possi- ble.” WHO should sign up to the ERA Installer Scheme? In short, ERA’s new Installer Scheme is perfect for anyone that wishes to boost their business, im- prove local leads, get better prices on products, and be fully up-to- speed on training and installation. Locksmiths, electricians, builders, door and window fitters should be especially keen to take part though. Tania Tams assures that: “In- stallers don’t have to worry about giving up their identity when they join the ERA Installer Scheme. The network has been designed to help them improve their own individual brands by being associ- ated with ERA. When it comes to their profile page, for example, the installer will have full control over what information the customer reads about them. It will contain their company logo, any associat- ed icons, text about the business and contact details.” Installers can select the radius in which they want to work so will never be asked to go outside of the ‘normal’ working range. The significance of this is not ‘ We want to give back installers the chance to do what they should be doing; installing ’ just convenience for the installer and lower van mileage though, it further helps to bolster an installer’s reputation in their local area, something ERA is very keen to help develop through its new Installer Scheme. Following every job, the home- owner will be encouraged to rate the installer and this review will be added to the company’s profile page. Customer ratings, feedback, and recommendations are an inte- gral part of the customer journey in the ‘Go Compare’ world we live in, yet can be a very difficult service to provide and follow up for the average installer. The ERA Installer Scheme provides a free- post form for every job that you can give to your customer, and they can send back to ERA to add to the system, or the customer will receive a follow-up email in a few weeks after the job and be asked to do the rating online. Tania Tams concludes: “We want to give back installers the chance to do what they should be doing; installing. Too many companies – especially small and medium enterprises – have had to take on their own marketing, branding, social media, lead gen- eration, product selection, train- ing course; the list is endless. The ERA Installer Scheme means that installers can sell with confidence, fit and set up perfectly, order with ease (and often at reduced cost), and then move onto the next job. “It’s really that simple.” Find out more at: www.erahomesecurity.com
