Electrical work is a licensed trade where homeowners almost universally hire professionals -- the safety stakes are too high and permits are required for most projects. That universal-hire dynamic means inbound electrical calls arrive with strong hiring intent. When a homeowner calls an electrician, they've already decided to hire; the conversation is about which electrician and when. Exclusive inbound calls remove the competing-contractor dynamic entirely.
