Brand Recognition with your Customers - Plumbing Zone

DUNBAR PLUMBING · 03-15-2010, 04:11 AM

YouTube- DUNBAR PLUMBING TRUCK VIDEO - DUNBAR...

You're looking at $100,000.00 worth of vehicles sitting in the driveway. (3 Toyotas, all red

)

You're looking at $500,000.00 homes in that neighborhood.

The customer I worked for that day (installed a water softener) is a well known doctor.

When the wife pulled in the driveway right behind me, she hopped out of her car and said, "Is this your new Toyota?" and I replied 'yes' and she congratulated me for the purchase,

started talking about how reliable their vehicles have been over the years and of course, talked about the recalls.

I now connect with a large base of customers like the video above shows where I work in high end neighborhoods and showing up in anything but a newer vehicle casts a different presence.

Is this your new Toyota? How is that recognition?

Are you going to put your business name on it as some point?

My truck is clean and waxed at all times.

The people, the cars, the common thread of "what you drive" is what I just brought to the equation that now matches a lot of my clientell.

Of course...that truck will transform over time...

No problem, I put my 20+ years in driving chevy and ford products, still own 2 big trucks.

But since these small 3 now like to suck off the guys who have a job in the aftermarket biz that these trucks constantly have you working on them,

it's time for me not to participate in that gay parade ever again.

Detroit is going down by their own doings. People are getting smart about their financial purchases.

Boring video Dunbar.

I like to think I am smart about my financial purchases. Toyota doesn't make a truck with enough towing or payload for me though.

I did pipe part of a new toyota plant though.

Next time fart or something.

Homeowner...... "WTF is he taking a video of out there? Don't worry honey, thats just how he is. We aren't paying him for that **** are we?"

DUNBAR PLUMBING · 03-16-2010, 08:12 PM

Thanks for that honest take on the video matt!

I actually had to fart during that video, held it back thinking it wasn't proper.

Now that I know that you like that, I'll do it more often.

**ILPlumber** · 03-16-2010, 08:18 PM

The vid you posted last year with the fart in it made me laugh.

We can keep a truck clean like that for maybe...... 1 hour. Nice unit though, I tried those units could not keep anything thawed in the winter, Damn, memo to me, move some where warmer.
