Jeremy and Jenny Smith on Winning Mr. Electric Owner of the Year

This Mr. Electric video features Jeremy and Jenny Smith, recognized as the brand's Franchise Owners of the Year, walking through their unusually faith-driven path into Mr. Electric ownership. The testimonial is unusually direct about both the spiritual motivation and the operational philosophy that drove the recognition. The origin story is specific. Jeremy started as a service professional in Oklahoma City. He and Jenny felt called to a different location, eventually settled on the Tulsa area, and waited for an open door for business. When the opening came, the Smiths' approach was direct: they decided to drive a van up to Tulsa and get to work. The lack of complexity in the entry-point decision — drive a van and get started — is part of the testimonial's appeal for candidates considering a similar mid-life relocation and ownership pivot. The service scope is comprehensive. The Smiths describe Mr. Electric of Tulsa as touching anything with electric wiring — broken outlets, broken switches, lights not working, residential lighting additions, and beyond. The unit's customer pitch is full-coverage electrical services rather than narrow specialty work. Operationally, Jeremy's framing is that the unit serves employees first and customers second — they have surrounded themselves with a talented, gifted team and made fun a deliberate part of the operating culture. The Neighborly umbrella is the multiplier the Smiths credit for outsized results. The home-office staff invest themselves in the franchisee's business, career, and personal growth, and the peer-support network across other Neighborly brands provides the operational input that scales the unit faster than independent ownership could. The Smiths also flag a strategic Neighborly opportunity: cross-brand customer flow, where customers seeking any home service eventually default to a Neighborly company. Jeremy's closing reflection is that operators willing to learn, be coached, and pour into others have an unlimited ceiling — they are not even scratching the surface yet.
