When I started in this industry, I worked at my father's small motor repair shop in a small town north of Toronto. To Gain the Advantage over larger motor shops in the city, we provided exceptional customer service, delivered high-quality repairs and recognized early on that plant maintenance practices were very much reactive. So, we developed a service to offer our clients. 
In its infancy, our services included on-site surge testing during plant shutdowns and off-site motor management in our warehouse. Fast forward to today, and the type of plant maintenance options available to end-users are vast, ever-evolving and more user-friendly.

In this new webinar created specifically for owners, general managers and sales leaders, highly rated 2019 EASA speaker Mike Weinberg will share strong words of encouragement, practical coaching tips, and powerful best practices for leading (sales teams) through this unique time.

Dr. Al Bates, renowned speaker and friend of EASA, reviews the financial challenges you're facing in these complicated times brought on by the pandemic.

Of all the social media options, look to LinkedIn to build your online presence within the electromechanical industry. It’s professional, requires less engagement than traditional social media and is used the most by our industry.

There is always the concern that customers aren't repairing as much as they used to. EASA asked our customers if they noticed an increase or decrease in the number of repairs they have had. Only about one-third of respondents to the most recent industry survey say they are repairing fewer electric motors than two years ago.

So many businesses, even in our industry, post content weekly, daily or hourly. In addition to this, they send out regular email blasts, have a blog or purchase advertisements online. How do they have the time to get it all done? Do they have a team of marketing people doing all of this for them? Likely not.

EASA service centers looking for options for expansion, or to replace evaporating existing electric motor repair markets, have seen pump repair as a good fit. A majority of EASA service centers currently repair roto-dynamic pumps. Pumps are by far the largest category of machines driven by electric motors. If a service center is repairing electric motors, then it is almost certain that some of those motors are driving pumps, and the prospects for pump repair are its existing customers.

Los centros de servicio miembros de EASA que buscan expandirse o que estén interesados en reemplazar los mercados de reparación volátiles existentes, han visto en la reparación de las bombas algo idóneo. Por lo general, la mayoría de los mismos repara bombas roto-dinámicas. Por mucho, las bombas son la categoría más grande de máquinas accionadas por motores eléctricos.
