Financial Podcasts
Financials are arguably the most important part of running any business, and yet it’s the area we often get the least education in throughout our careers. That’s why it is one of the main 7 pillars in our programs, with a huge number of recorded live trainings, resources, templates, and tools in our PT Members Portal.
In our Financials Podcast Episodes we tackle a number of challenges and share mistakes we see everyday so that you won’t make them to. We give examples and advice on how to better manage the financials of your trades business so that you’re not worrying about cash flow and truly know how your business is performing. After all you work hard so should not be worrying about money!
Topics covered
Sales Podcasts
As a business owner sales is what keeps the wheels turning, after all, without sales there’s no money. It can be quite a time consuming task when your calendar is filled with existing work, not to mention running the team. We have scripts, tips, and processes that take all the hard work out of selling.
Our aim is to take all the stress away from you, making the process seamless, sales is easy when you know exactly what to say, who to say it to, and when to say it. Next thing you know your workflow is consistent and you’ve always got cash in the bank account.
Topics covered
Team Podcasts
A chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link. That’s why it is important to build a strong team that you can rely on and will put in effort to help you grow your business. Getting that type of person onboard can be easy when you create an environment that people want to work in.
Creating a good culture is a lot easier than you might think, having people apply for your job is the easy part, being able to determine the good from the bad is the hard part. Luckily we can help with that by giving you the tools to sift through your applicants and get the right people who will give you the foundation to grow a great business.

Marketing Podcasts
There’s a raft of people who would be the perfect client for you, but they can only connect with you if they can find you. With so much information at a client’s fingertips it’s easy to get lost in the large number of businesses trying to sell their products and services.
Marketing has never been so important, not only do you need to be present when clients are searching, but you should also stand out from the crowd. There is a number of tools to make sure you’re on top of the pile like your website, Google, SEO, Direct Mail, Signage, etc. which we touch on in our PT Podcast. If it doesn’t quite quench your thirst for trades business marketing information, our Members Portal has a massive range of trainings and resources that our coaches can help put in place for your business.
Topics covered
