When your values line up, it makes certain business decisions easier. This was the case when P1 Group became an exclusive provider of CurrentSAFE to change the way we do Electrical Preventative Maintenance (EPM). CurrentSAFE EPM Services is an elite network of electrical contractors focused 100 percent on NFPA 70E Compliancy, multi-year service agreements, and increased negotiated projects. “Both CurrentSAFE and P1 Group have the ultimate goal to develop a customer for life,” Danny Farnan, P1 Group General Manager said. “Our goal is developing and maintaining relationships with our customers to provide lifelong solutions for their facilities.” The importance of being a CurrentSAFE dealer boils down to training, efficiency, compliance, and a consistent, proven program that benefits customers as well as P1 Group.
“P1 Group reaps the benefit of expanding your existing business and customer list using an established and proven operating system already in place,” Sharon Stebick, CurrentSAFE Dealership Development, said. Sharon notes the ultimate goal is selling a 3-year preventative maintenance agreement, although technicians are also taught how to test, collect, and inventory electrical equipment, deliver reports, and, ultimately, get to the IRR: Install, Replace, and Repair work. The stand-alone EPM agreement is new for P1 Group. “Historically we’ve had services like IR Scanning added to a mechanical service agreement,” P1 Group EPM Manager Jeff Gardner explained. “It was either a spot or mechanical service. We’ve never consistently offered stand-alone electrical preventative maintenance multi-year agreements until now.” The contracts are customizable, and will include what the customer continued on next page
