So, to recap on our miniseries, the first part focused on professionalism in PAT testing and discussed how often, with tradesmen, that reputation is the deciding factor when a client is considering giving a contract.
It is also important to ensure that you remain professional and work to regulation standards. This will put the clients mind at ease and ensure that they are happy and may therefore, recommend you in future.
The second part of our miniseries looked at producing a professional quotation and the aspects of your quotation that may put clients off wanting to let you carry out their PAT testing work.
A quotation is the document that tells a client about you and your business. If your quotation is scruffy, messy and tatty, the client will think that you work like this. This is why it is vital that your quotation is professional and clear.
In the final part of our miniseries we discussed preparation and work, and how it is important to ensure that you allow enough time for planning and reviewing any possible risks.
It is also essential that all your work equipment is calibrated to ensure correct function and that you have taken all possible precautions to prevent risks to clients and yourself.
Overall, when working, ensure that you remain professional, produce clear professional documentation, work to regulation standard and give yourself the opportunity to build a good reputation as an honest, hardworking PAT tester.
