Who this track is built for

  • Electricians and electrical installers
  • Plumbers and pipe fitters
  • Carpenters and joiners
  • Painters, decorators and tilers
  • POP artisans and interior finishing specialists

If any of this sounds like your business right now, keep reading

You finish a big job, then your business goes silent for weeks with nothing lined up

Clients treat your business like a handyman call-out and pay it accordingly, no matter how good the work is

Your business has no way to show past work or collect testimonials that win the next contract

You quote a price and the client says "let me call another person first" — and you lose the job before it starts

If even one of those hit close to home, this track was built to fix exactly that — not with theory, but with a business that brings in steady, well-paying contracts by week five.

The transformation: from job-to-job hustle to a real business with a pipeline

From silence after every job to a business with new enquiries lining up before the current contract even ends

From being quoted against like a handyman to a branded business that homeowners and estate managers call back by name

From no proof of past work to a portfolio and testimonials that close the deal before you even arrive on site

From losing jobs to "let me check another person" to a pricing structure clients respect because your business looks like it's worth it

These are the real business outcomes this track is built around — a working pipeline, a defensible price list, and repeat contracts, not just new skills on paper.

Still have questions? Here's what every tradesperson asks first

I work mostly through word of mouth. Do I need this?+
Yes — referrals alone are unpredictable. Five weeks gives your business a steady pipeline of contracts that does not dry up between jobs.
Will this work for all trades or just some?+
It covers all home and construction trades: electrical, plumbing, carpentry, painting, tiling, POP and related finishing work.
I am not great with phones and online tools. Is this still for me?+
Absolutely. Everything we teach works from a basic Android phone. No laptop required.
