Good morning I just wanted to take a second to introduce myself.
My name’s Wilson Matthew Betances. I’m a licensed electrical contractor serving Connecticut and Massachusetts, founder of Energize Us.
I am truly passionate about what the trades have to offer, not just as a career , but the life all of it can bring you and the community. That’s why we’ve expanded into training, workforce development, and industry education through Energize Us EDU.
If you're in the area, want to jump on a podcast, or talk about how we can build the current & next generation of contractors and apprentices. It would be an honor to meet and host you. I also attached our recent press release about the journey we are building for the trades. - ElectricBoyesContributor 2
Hey guys interested to hear what you have done to make invoicing easier. Have you imputed every part (cuz we know there’s a lot) and have your crews build invoices or are you compiling parts from wholesaler bills to make up invoices?

- Hey guys, so I have offloaded invoicing to our admin. Best thing I ever did. She's so up to date now.
- Our quoted jobs just get invoiced as they are.
- Time and materials, the guys put their expenses in and she doubles them and adds to the invoice. (50% gross margin.) If they use van stock they leave a small list in a job form I've created and she takes that material, searches online for pricing and then adds to invoice.
- I don't recommend having your crew invoice, let them be awesome electricians / admin can invoice from a computer screen.
If you want to chat more reach out anytime. Cheers!

HVAC contractor looking at getting my electrical license, been doing everything from changing breakers, running conduit and electrical etc and can do pretty much anything electrical related to my trade. Just dont mess with changing out panels, generators, solar etc. How hard do you think it would be for me to learn the rest I'd need or to properly qualify? I could take the California Contractors exam for electricians and pass it most likely, will pass the legal side obviously, I'm already a contractor, what are your thoughts?
