From Word of Mouth to Consistent Leads: How ECC Electrical Built a Scalable Pipeline

ECC Electrical turned unpredictable referrals into reliable leads and growth across two locations with Loopli’s systems.

ECC Electrical – a locally owned electrical company led by Josh Bate, serving the Northern Beaches and Newcastle. They deliver residential and commercial electrical services, with a strong focus on quality workmanship and reliability.

🧠 The Challenge

Before working with Loopli, ECC Electrical faced several barriers to growth:

  • Struggling to attract new customers beyond referrals
  • No system for capturing or organising leads
  • Weak local presence in Google, limiting discovery
  • Difficulty attracting higher-value (“level 2”) customers

This left the business in a cycle of unpredictable work, relying almost entirely on word of mouth.

🛠️ The Solution

Loopli introduced a structured marketing and sales system designed to grow consistently:

  1. Google Business Profile Optimisation
    Built a strong local presence so ECC could be discovered by homeowners and builders searching nearby.
  2. CRM & Lead Management
    Set up a CRM to capture, track, and organise leads, ensuring no opportunities slipped through the cracks.
  3. Pipeline Building
    Created a framework to build and manage a customer pipeline across two locations (Northern Beaches + Newcastle).
  4. Brand Positioning
    Shifted ECC’s digital presence to attract and win more higher-value electrical projects.

📈 The Results

Within months of implementing these systems, ECC Electrical achieved:

📊 Consistent new leads every month
🚀 Growing customer pipeline across two locations
Database of new customers for ongoing marketing
🔑 Less reliance on word of mouth, giving Josh control over business growth

💡 Takeaway

By investing in the right systems, ECC Electrical went from unpredictable referrals to a steady stream of qualified leads and a structure for scaling across multiple locations. For Josh, this meant more control, better clients, and confidence in the future of the business.

Scale your revenue and profit sustainably over the long term.
