From Tens of Thousands of Dollars Wasted to Fast-Tracked Business Growth
Burning Through Cash with Ineffective Marketing
When Chris Cline’s father started Yochim Plumbing, he believed the only real way to grow a business was through word of mouth. So, over the course of about 40 years, the family-run business did very little in the way of formal marketing, and the marketing they did invest in left them with a bad taste in their mouths.
The Canyon Country, California-based business ran some ads in the Yellow Pages and even hired a few marketing companies, but the Clines were disappointed with the results every single time. According to Chris, who is General Manager at Yochim Plumbing:
“At first, marketing felt like taking $100 bills and burning them up… taking a $100 bill and taking a lighter to it—and that’s what we were doing at first. I’ve been a victim of tens of thousands of dollars of [wasted] money by throwing money into a pot and hoping that that pot would turn into gold, but that’s not exactly how it works.”
“It Was Clear That We Needed to Make a Change”
By the time Chris and his brother Mark were heading up the company’s operations, they knew they wanted to find a better solution for Yochim Plumbing’s marketing problem. They also knew that in order to do that, they needed a partner they could actually trust to put their marketing dollars to the best use and get them the results they wanted. So, the Cline brothers set out to look for a marketing partner that was the right fit for Yochim Plumbing, and that’s when they found Scorpion.
Opening the Floodgates of Growth
Now that the Clines’ marketing has gone from chaos to operating like a “well-oiled machine” (in the words of Mark), Yochim Plumbing is now getting greater exposure in their local community and bringing in more business.
In fact, they were able to increase their lead volume by 40% in their first month of launching with Scorpion, which is especially impressive considering it was during the coronavirus pandemic. Yochim Plumbing was also able to add a third truck and hire an additional customer service rep as a result of the uptick in business they’ve seen.
Chris and Mark, we’re so proud to see how far Yochim Plumbing has come and we can’t wait to see what else is in store for you and your team!
“I know that this is the next part to growing the company, and this is where we need to be. This is the next move that’s ultimately going to push us forward. Myself and everyone included within the team is extremely excited for what the future has to bring with the relationship between us and Scorpion.”Mark Cline
