The home appliance repair industry is already a sunset industry. Why do so many masters refuse to give up?

The so-called sunset industry is a tool or service that has been completely eliminated by users with the development of society and the progress of science and technology. Because there is no market demand and no living space, it will gradually disappear from people's eyes (I always think this term is very appropriate, because with the market, it will revive).

Now every household has household appliances with different functions and sizes, and the technical content is getting higher and higher, the functions are becoming more and more complete, and the operation is becoming more and more humanized, which greatly facilitates people's lives. There is no doubt about it. But if it is used for a long time, it will inevitably fail. This is a headache. Fix it. It's hard to find a shop. Change it. It costs a lot of tears and you can't just throw it away. Ok, pick up your cell phone and go to a nearby repair shop. ......

In fact, the home appliance repair industry is still very marketable, not a sunset industry. But there are not many things that can be done now, especially young people, who are unwilling to enter this industry. Because of the rapid upgrading and higher intelligence of household appliances, the knowledge of later maintenance personnel must keep up, and with the refinement of division of labor, the types and functions of household appliances will become more and more, without physical and chemical basis, which is very difficult.

However, it is worthwhile to be really familiar with this industry. After all, in today's society, skilled people will be respected and appreciated by everyone. In your eyes, repairing household appliances can cure the disease, but in the eyes of visitors, it solves the big problem, which is the same as going to the hospital.

Young people, if things are broken and can't be used, throw them away at once, but you can get married and start a business. If they have tasted the hardships of life, they will naturally cherish it. And as time goes on, they will cherish and give up more and spend a little money to solve big problems. Why not?

Therefore, not only the home appliance repair industry, but also the after-sales service of various industries need a large number of maintenance professionals. As long as products exist, the industry will not sunset.

Tell me my opinion: I am 25 years old this year. I started studying appliance repair from Monday to Friday when I was in high school in 2009. I've been doing it off and on now 10 years! As far as the current industry is concerned, there is indeed great competitive pressure (many middle-aged people have installed air conditioning for several years and come out to work alone). Air-conditioning maintenance workers are the most. After the sale, the workers raised by the specialty store fight guerrilla warfare! No Air conditioning is the most profitable in home appliance repair! Some people repair air conditioners in summer and go to work at the construction site in spring, summer, autumn and winter! (These people basically can't fix frequency conversion! )

TV: There are very few people repairing TV now! Newcomers basically don't fix TV! Because repairing TV (repairing board) is only the most difficult one! And it is not easy to charge!

Washing machine, water heater, gas stove: not too difficult! Many sellers of water heaters are taking these three repairs!

Refrigerator: Although it doesn't need good technology, it needs high technology! The charges are also good!

Small household appliances: earn money to buy cigarettes when there is no business!

As far as the current market is concerned. There is still room for profit in this industry, but 1. You must repair a wide range, because today your air conditioner is broken, you can repair the TV, the TV is broken, you must repair the refrigerator! This technology must pass. Only when the technology is good will others believe you! This is eternal! As long as you accept this business, don't let it go easily! You pay someone else to fix it, and you have to fix it for the user. Because the restored reputation is your own! Do it even if you don't make money! 3. Don't charge too much! 80 materials will cost 800! Who will die if you don't die! You charge 80 materials 180-300! I think customers will repair it considering your good technology and reasonable price (customers who really want to repair it). I can tell you a story (my master has got a direct-cooling Haier refrigerator, and the new product price is 1499. The fault is internal leakage, and the compressor is broken! My master reported 900 customer service and promised: 900 is 900. I believe you! ) Explain that 900 is because the distance is too far! Not really! Deliberately report high, let customers give up! The result was an accident!

Maintenance workers say that maintenance is not easy to do. Why are there new employees every year? Find more reasons for yourself! One more thing, send a maintenance master with you! This is a colleague, why do you want to fire each other?

The home appliance repair industry is really not as hot as before. In the past, materials were scarce and everything was particularly expensive. A TV set will cost several months' salary. If it is broken, the replacement cost is high and the maintenance is cost-effective. Now home appliances are cheap and have a long warranty period. If it's broken, it doesn't hurt to replace it with a new one. However, the income of 18th-tier cities and rural areas is low, and the proportion of broken household appliances for maintenance is still quite high.

Although home appliance repair is a sunset industry, it still makes money, but it is not as profiteering as before, otherwise no one can do it. In the past, many people took home appliances to repair, and few people did maintenance. It is no exaggeration to say that profiteering.

For example, take the example around me. There are probably hundreds of families in my hometown, but there is only one maintenance company around. The maintenance master is now about 50 years old, with congenital disability-leg problems, and it is very difficult to walk at ordinary times. In the countryside, it is good enough to support yourself, let alone do farm work.

But he attacked life perfectly-he not only married a beautiful wife and gave birth to two lovely children, but also bought a house in our town at one time. The house in our town is now at least 2500 yuan/square, plus decoration, a set will cost 40W. He is the only one in the family who makes money. His wife simply washes his clothes, takes care of his children, practices his hands and occasionally plays mahjong.

Think about it. What does this mean? Do you think maintenance will make money?

The status quo of home appliance maintenance: There are relatively fewer people taking home appliances for maintenance now than before, but there are many more people doing maintenance, and the competition is fierce. Because many people used to make money, everyone rushed to do it.

Maintenance is still profitable now, but the upgrading of home appliances is getting faster and faster, and there are more and more things to learn and more advanced equipment is needed! In addition, many equipment do not carry drawings for confidentiality (monopoly), which brings many difficulties to maintenance and is easy to master when entering the industry.

More importantly, in the past, only technology was needed to do home appliance maintenance; Technology is not enough now. We must have a sense of service. On the premise of maintaining home appliances, we should also make customers happy. Therefore, it is essential to know some business routines, but it is very tiring for technicians to play routines!

Xiao Wang's air conditioner was broken, so he asked Li Shifu to repair it. Li Shifu looked at it and found that the capacitor was broken. So Li Shifu said, "You have used this air conditioner for many years, but the compressor is broken and it is difficult to repair. I suggest you change it. " . Xiao Wang asked, "How much does it cost to change a compressor?" . Li Shifu said: "The original one costs 600 yuan." . Xiao Wang is embarrassed. 600 yuan is a bit expensive, but buying a new air conditioner costs at least 1500 yuan, which is even more uneconomical. Seeing Wang's embarrassed expression, he said, "Well, I'll try and see if I can fix it. If it is repaired, give 200 yuan. " When Xiao Wang heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly said, "OK, OK, please master." I removed it and had an operation. I quietly changed a capacitor during the process of putting it back, and OK was done!

Finally, Li Shifu put 200 yuan into his pocket, conveniently followed the drinks handed by Xiao Wang, and left with gratitude. Later, the whole community knew that there was a reliable Li Shifu. When things were broken, everyone looked for him!

What did you learn after reading this story?

That's my answer. If you have any other shortcomings or questions, please comment!

I have been laid off for three years. I rent a recording studio and repair audio equipment in Tianjin. After a month's rent, I can hardly eat. So I have been insisting mainly because I have a sense of accomplishment. It is also my pleasure to help enthusiastic people solve problems.

At present, many household appliances, such as washing machines, refrigerators, LCD TVs, etc. As long as the quotation is around 300, many users will choose to give up maintenance and consider buying new similar products instead. After all, the prices of many new household appliances are getting lower and lower now, with air conditioners as low as 1,000 and washing machines as low as several hundred, not to mention small household appliances. Now with the improvement of people's living standards, the price consumption is high. Most maintenance masters can only get four or five thousand dollars a month, or even two or three thousand dollars, so they can only support their families. Where can they afford cars and houses to keep up with the pace of society? This is also the reason why many people engaged in domestic maintenance want to change careers. After all, no matter what they do, income is their value, so this is why they are called sunset industry.

The home appliance repair industry is already a sunset industry. Why do so many masters refuse to give up? The home appliance repair industry is really depressed now, and the number of young people engaged in this industry is gradually decreasing. Almost all the rest are old masters, so why do many people refuse to give up?

The value of the industry can be said to be a sunset industry, but it also has the value of existence. Although home appliances are cheaper now, some of them are still more expensive. For example, I bought a computer for 3000 yuan, and I can't throw it away if it breaks down. I have to get someone to fix it, just like the refrigerator air conditioner at home.

Refrigerators and air conditioners are relatively expensive in household appliances, and generally the damage is relatively light. Adding freon and changing capacitors can almost solve the problem, but the appearance fee is high. Generally, air conditioners and refrigerators are repaired at 150, so this industry is still profitable.

Employment pressure There are fewer young people in the home appliance repair industry, and young people have gone to home appliance companies to do after-sales service or technology. For these old masters, if they give up maintenance, they may lose their jobs, because they think it is impossible to find a job with skills, so they are unwilling to give up.

Secondly, people who used to do home appliance repair have savings, and they have opened repair shops or home appliance stores before and after, which basically turned into trimming and selling home appliances. This situation cannot be abandoned.

Generally speaking, home appliance maintenance will not disappear in the future, because there is demand, so someone will do it.

Haven't you ever speculated in stocks? Don't you know the rebound? I'm a TV repairman. I find my business is becoming more and more professional. After the low-end gradually disappeared, the high-end life was better and the price was better. Let you go to the sunset, and the rest of the elite can collect money.

I think it's not that they won't give up, but how can they live if they give up? Many people engaged in this business are elderly people, and this technology was once their proud survival capital. Giving up this business means giving up everything, so what should they do? No matter the employment environment, survival needs or spiritual level, it is impossible to give up.

Moreover, even the sunset industry has the rationality of existence. For consumers, it is a pity that many household appliances are broken. What's wrong with you spending hundreds of dollars to repair home appliances instead of thousands? There are still many people who are willing to spend money to repair it, especially the elderly. Diligence and thrift are their lifelong persistence, and they still have feelings for old furniture and old household appliances. And the rental market. The household appliances in the rental house are broken, and if they can be repaired, the landlord will basically not change them. This is the market of this sunset industry and the living space of these masters.

Who says home appliance repair is a sunset industry? With the constant updating of household appliances, it will also bring great benefits to maintenance personnel.

Do what you like, don't fish for three days and dry the net for two days. At present, there is little profit in repairing home appliances, but every little makes a mickle, and we are popular. Over time, your maintenance method has its own characteristics, recognized by everyone, and the profit is still considerable.

At present, there are too many "guerrillas" in the home appliance repair industry, which are basically one-time repairs. Because the fees are low and there is no guarantee, the masters who open stores, such as "guerrillas", have problems with maintenance and the second service is directly hacked. Some shop masters will basically carry out detailed maintenance to avoid secondary failures and earn contacts.

For customers, many people just blindly pursue low prices without paying attention to quality.

The rise of e-commerce has been smooth and smooth, electrical appliances are cheap, and customers are often unwilling to maintain them.

Therefore, the maintenance of the home appliance industry still needs to gather contacts, improve credibility and develop in an all-round way. As the saying goes, "Fly legs are also meat", every little makes a mickle. Keep it up.

Storms come very violently, and sometimes rainbows appear.

My humble opinion of a home appliance repairman, I hope everyone will take care of it. [Pray] [Pray] [Pray] [Pray]

The home appliance repair industry is already a sunset industry. Why do so many masters refuse to give up?

Traditional industries are not necessarily sunset industries, but backward production methods are the first in sunset industries. The home appliance repair industry is said to be a sunset industry. The fundamental reason is not only the technological sunset, but also many factors that lead the industry to the sunset step by step.

The era of lack of materials and backward productivity has brought spring to the home appliance maintenance industry.

In the era of material scarcity, things were really scarce. At that time, those who could buy home appliances were considered "local tyrants". Once it is broken, it hurts to replace it. If you don't change, you can't meet the demand. Therefore, the appliance repair industry is quietly emerging, which is more cost-effective than replacement and maintenance.

Especially in third-tier cities and rural areas, it is a vast world of home appliance maintenance industry. Generally speaking, people here have low economic income, it is not easy to acquire household appliances, and the damage and replacement are also stretched, so they would rather choose to maintain this road. It can be said that rural areas are included outside the third-tier cities, which is where home appliance maintenance personnel can play. After all, this is a huge demand.

The situation of home appliance repair industry is not optimistic.

With the rise of home appliance repair industry, many people use their skills to earn a lot of money. Many people poured into this industry to make money, and the rehearsal of competition in the industry warmed up. At the same time, not all people in the formal class are pouring into this industry, and their professional quality and values are also uneven. There will always be people smearing the image of the industry, leading to endless chaos. With the progress of science and technology, the market of household appliances has become rich, and the price is no longer unaffordable for ordinary people. In addition, the people's economic income has increased and their purchasing power has increased. At the same time, people's cognitive ability of things will be improved, and they will be more repaired and replaced in their hearts, thus making better solutions.

Home appliance repair industry still has a broad market, not a sunset industry.

Service consciousness cannot be abandoned; The quality of service attitude is the first impression of customers on you, and whether it will become the key to your repeat customers. Only by retaining people's hearts can we retain money. Can't let technology become a sunset; The technology of consumer electronics products is constantly being digitized and intelligent, and the previous skills are difficult to be competent for this job. Constantly learn to upgrade skills, so that the skill level will become a sunrise. Now that home appliances go to the countryside, the price is lower, more families will buy more home appliances, and there is still a lot of room in the maintenance industry. After all, China people have a strong sense of economy and are afraid of poverty. Therefore, there are still many people who take maintenance as their first choice and then take the road of replacement.

Many maintenance masters refused to give up. Why?

Due to the limitation of academic qualifications and age, people in this industry generally have low academic qualifications, and the age structure tends to be aging, so changing careers to go out to work has become a stumbling block in their hearts. Older home appliance repairmen are more likely to use their skills to make a living in third-tier cities and rural areas. Life is not easy, so I give up easily and turn to a new industry. Because of my education and age, I dare not try. After all, I have a family behind me. With the general improvement of living standards, there will only be more and more home appliances, among which there is bound to be demand, and the demand is even greater.

Maintenance cost performance is the main contradiction in home appliance maintenance industry.

Now people's cognitive ability and information acquisition ability have been greatly improved.

During the Chinese New Year, an electric welding machine burned out in the community. I took it to a special repair shop and said I wanted 500 yuan. He wanted to buy a new one, and after asking for more than 800 yuan, he gave up maintenance. I found it in the back. Let me see. I glanced at a board and burned 13 components. I said I would make him pay for cigarettes. After thinking about it, I found it troublesome to replace the corresponding accessories, so I contacted their manufacturers to communicate. I said how much it would cost to buy a board, but it turned out to be 160 yuan. The board arrived in three days, and everything was normal after replacement. After that, I asked him to come and get it, and he kept collecting it 180 yuan. There are very few people with high cost performance like me. After all, this is not what I do for a living. In the eyes of the industry, if the maintenance fee is too high, customers will definitely give up if they are not stupid. If the maintenance fee is too low and uneconomical, the contribution of technology and time is not proportional to the income.

Home appliance repair industry will not become a sunset industry, after all, this industry still has great demand. As long as the cost performance and reputation of maintenance satisfy customers and the technology is excellent, it will certainly not be bad in this industry.
