Dive into this "Where's My Profit?" episode to uncover the financial missteps holding back trade business owners and discover actionable strategies that can dramatically boost your profits!

šŸ”„ Key Insights & Strategies:

Undercharging: Many tradies, like our featured guest Chris, a plumber from Melbourne, fall into the trap of charging too little for their expertise. Learn why quoting per job, not per hour, could multiply your profits.
Quoting Strategies: Stop quoting hourly rates over the phone. Instead, price your services based on value delivered, not just time spent, avoiding the pitfall of price shoppers.
Materials Costing: Adjust your markup strategies based on material costs. Small increases in markup on low-cost items can significantly boost profit margins.
Review Practices: Regular review of job quotes and actual costs can prevent profit leakages. Implement 'job autopsies' to understand where you're losing money.
Pricing Psychology: Dive deep into how pricing impacts customer perception and attracts quality clients who appreciate value over cost.
Operational Efficiency: Simple changes in operations, like optimizing travel routes or purchasing strategies, can save costs and increase efficiency.

The Tradie Show

The Tradie Show is the podcast for tradies who are stuck working ā€˜INā€™ the business instead of working ā€˜ONā€™ it. We know youā€™ve got big goals, but right now you probably feel like a slave to your own creation.TAFE taught you to be a great tradie, but not a great business owner. Itā€™s lonely, stressful and not your fault. We get it, weā€™ve been there too, deep in the trenches (literally) growing a plumbing business in Sydney. Life looked great on the outside, but behind the scenes, we were stressed out of our eyeballs.Ā As a result we almost lost everything ... we almost lost our business, our home and our marriage, but thankfully we came out the other side with a thriving business, completely off the tools and only working 2 hours p/week. How? Well, that's what we share here on The Tradie Show.Following our success, we vowed to help other tradies, so you donā€™t have to go through what we did. We didnā€™t have any guidance and even when we tried to hire a coach, he knew nothing about the trade industry, so we ended up coaching him.Ā That experience inspired us to set up our amazing community and coaching program, Lifestyle Tradie to share the advice we wish we had about what it really takes to build a successful trade business and live the lifestyle you deserve.Ā And now The Tradie Show is an extension of that community.Ā So, if youā€™re a plumber, electrician, painter, landscaper, carpenter, builder, bricklayer, concretor, contractor, gardener, window washer, aborist, tiler, metal fabricator, roofer, glazier, handyman services, HVAC, solar installation services or any other trade business or trade service, then tune into The Tradie Show for no-fluff advice, fun banter and inspiring interviews to help you get results.
