    Wall Street to Main Street: News, Views and Commentary: May 22, 2006
    It’s Monday May 22, 2006, and it looks like the NYSE Group (NYSE: NYX) has taken the first steps to becoming a truly global market place as they have submitted a $10 billion offer to merge with Euronext. Such a merger would create the first trans-Atlantic stock market, valued at $21 billion. While the Nasdaq (NASDAQ: NDAQ) has increased their stake in the London Stock Exchange to over 25% which may put them in a position to force a merger with the LSE. The world is getting smaller and the financial markets are right in the middle of it.The NAMC Newswire’s “Wall Street to Main Street” segment in its entirety is only available to subscribers.

    This modern day ‘knight’ of the urban realm can be hero or cowboy depending on the one you get. The secret with employing a plumber as with any other trademan, is to be clear what they are doing and what the cost is for each bit.

    The consumer watchdog Which gives some useful tips on what to look out for. They warn about the practice of marking up on materials. Whilst less common than it used to be, many plumbers still add on 10-20% onto material costs they have bought at a discount from a merchant. This is fine if they can get the goods at a price less than you, particularly in the respect that it also saves you the time and effort of having to purchase the goods yourself. However, on big ‘ticket’ items such as boilers or shower units, you could save up to 10-20% yourself by shopping around or sourcing them from the internet. In these cases it would be worth buying separately and then paying the plumber just to fit it. However, be careful. Unless you know what you are doing it is very easy to end up with the wrong ‘spec’ or not all the parts that the plumber needs. In this situation they are not going to be impressed to then find they have to go round the merchant to get a few parts because of a mistake on your part or that they have an inferior and difficult bit of ‘kit’ to fit because of your bargain hunting! These additional charges could all find there way onto your bill, particularly if you only asked for an estimate rather than a written quote.

    Watch out for the call out charge, especially if it’s evening or weekend. Frequently a plumber might appear to have a reasonable hourly rate, only to reveal at the end a hefty call out charge which effectively doubles the cost for the job if it is only a small one. Some plumbers dont charge a call out rate but will charge more for the first hour which effectively acts a call out fee.

    Rates that plumbers charge can vary enormously not only nationally but within the same town. Therefore trying to identify accurately a standard rate for a service is very difficult. In my home town of Nottingham I can pay ?35 for a gas safety check on a gas hob and boiler or ?75 for exactly the same job. The motto is shop around.

    The One-Call Close
    The average successful salesperson visits each prospect 4.4 times, and their closing rates average 17 percent, or approximately 1 sale out of each 6 prospects. That means they close one sale for every 26 visits.What if you averaged only 2 visits per prospect and your closing rate did not change? Then, you would be closing 1 sale out of every 13 visits. At that rate, you should be able to double you sales and increase your income.What if you closed about half of your sales on the first visit, and the average number of visits dropped to 1.5 per prospect?Why do most salespeople have to visit 6 prospects an average of 4.4 times in order make one sale? Simply because that is the way they learned how to sell. They can give you plenty of seemingly logical reasons why, in their market, with their products and services, it has to be

    Web Makeovers
    1. If it was designed more than 3 years ago, it may need a new look. Technology has changed along with programs, coding and search engines. Also, people want instant gratification so text-heavy and slow-loading sites are a thing of the past. 2. If you had a friend or relative design your site. There is much more to designing an effective website than creating a Word document or Illustrator drawing. Friends or relatives most likely will not have extensive knowledge and experience with html coding, search engines and usability. Also, they may not have the time to devote and your website becomes a low priority. 3. Has your business changed and your website doesn’t reflect the new image, products or services? Take a look at your site about every 3 months and see what needs to be updated

    * Ask friends or family for someone they can recommend.

    * Get at least 3 quotes. Ask for a quote on the whole job.

    * It’s best to use a member of a trade association, but don’t take the plumbers word they are a member. Double check with the association.

    * Get at least three quotes. Ask for a quote for the whole job as well as the hourly rate including the first hour or call-out charge.

    * Ask how long the job will take. If one person tells you ten minutes while another indicates it could be hours, you’ll know something is wrong.

    * Check the prices include VAT.

    * If a plumber wants to inspect the work before giving a price, make sure they don’t charge for this.

    * Before hiring a plumber, get a written quote with a fixed price.

    Trade associations offer more protection The main trade association for plumbers with 12,000 members, is the Institute of Plumbers and Heating Engineers (IPHE). Other bodies include the Association of Plumbing and Heating Contractors (APHC) in England & Wales and the Scottish and Northern Ireland Plumbing Employers’ Federation (SNIPEF) can give lists of members near you.
