Systems
Are your lack of onsite and office systems holding you back? Is your business stuck in your head? Are you constantly fixing mistakes instead of working on improving your business? Are you behind the times with technology?
Are your lack of onsite and office systems holding you back? Is your business stuck in your head? Are you constantly fixing mistakes instead of working on improving your business? Are you behind the times with technology?
Do you have up and down cash flow? Do you understand the key numbers that drive your business? Are you pricing for the right margins and back costing your jobs? Do you have a set of monthly key performance indicators?
Are you spending hours quoting or pricing work for time wasters or slow payers? Do you know your sales conversion rates? Do you have a clear written sales process to increase sales conversions and margins?
Do your guys need constant hand holding? Are you reluctant to hire because you’ve been burnt in the past or don’t have a decent process to follow? Are you struggling to attract decent tradesmen, management or office people?
Do you stress about your guys running out short on work? Are you working with difficult, low profit clients because you lack a system to get new clients? Are you generating 20 to 30 jobs per month from your on-line marketing?
Feeling out of control and overwhelmed and need a clear action plan? Are you too busy to work on your business? Do you have a clear vision for your business and lifestyle?
“We were struggling with growing our business and keeping on top of everything as we had very few systems or marketing other than word of mouth. Through working with Profitable Tradie we’re pricing for the right margins and checking all our jobs which has seen our margins grow by 25%. We’ve got our website and on-line marketing working, using our customer database and have a clear marketing plan. Plus we’ve improved our hit rate with quotes through using the Profitable Tradie sales and follow up process. Life is much more enjoyable, team is more organised, the invoicing system is all electronic, don’t have to do late nights anymore. I find the program massively helpful for staying focused and looking at the business from a different point of view!”
“We’d been in business for nearly 40 years and while things had gone OK I knew that we could do better. I was working big hours and always tied to the phone. Plus we wanted to set the business up for our retirement so we could sell or continue to get an income from the business. Profitable Tradie helped massively to increase our margins by 12% meaning we are now making $10,000 to $15,000 more profit each month – simply by learning to price and back cost our work properly. Plus we’ve systemised the business and taken on more staff which means we’re on track for our succession plan. In the first 4 months on the Million Dollar Plumber program I learnt more about our numbers than in the previous 40 years in business!”
“I was working my arse off and always behind on paying suppliers and doing about 60 hours on the tools each week. We crunched our numbers and worked out that our profit margin was about 17% and now we’ve gone up to about 36% average. We’re pricing properly, I check my hourly rate, and profit margin is right before I put the job through. All the changes are making us an extra 10k gross profit per month!”
“For me, it wasn’t so much about the financials, it was more about getting a balance between business and family. At the start of the program I didn’t want to grow the business, but I look back now and the realise that I had it all in my head. Tony’s managed to simplify things and strip it all down so its quite simple”
