Hi there, we own/operate an HVAC/electrical business in Nova Scotia. In December of 2025, we decided to hire a business consultant to help us grow our business. It's been worth every penny. It is costly upfront, but in the long run, we're confident that we will recoup all expenses through increased revenue. If you don't have the funds to hire a business consultant (with a proven success rate), I would focus on providing exceptional customer service and look for small ways you can increase an invoice by 10% through added services. We created our business simply by word of mouth and have never had to do any major advertising (aside from regular social media posts), and now we have over $4 million in revenue this year and counting. Responding quickly, fair prices, honest and reliable work, and follow-up are key. It takes time, but consistency pays off!
