Plumbers start plumbing businesses. Nobody teaches them business.
Get Off The Tools® exists to fix that. We teach UK tradespeople the business behind the trade: how to price, sell, hire, systemise and lead, in the right order, so the business earns more and stops depending on them being on site.
He had no trade. So he had to learn the business first.
Jamie isn't a plumber, a sparky or a builder. He came into contracting with no trade background, which meant he couldn't fall back on being the best pair of hands on site. He had to learn pricing, sales, hiring, cash flow and systems from day one, and build a business that ran on them.
That business went from nothing to £2m of turnover in his first 18 months, and today runs a large pipeline of council and commercial contract work. Everything in the Get Off The Tools roadmap is what he did, in the order he'd do it again, with the mistakes taken out.
Jamie runs the weekly live coaching call himself, takes every onboarding call, and reviews your numbers in person at 90, 180 and 270 days.
- £0 → £2mturnover in his first 18 months in contracting
- No tradelearned the business side first, then built the company around it
- Every weekon the live call, on the onboarding calls and on your review calls
The systems behind the business.
Jack builds the machine. Before Get Off The Tools he was the business manager who scaled a logistics business from around £30k a month to over £1m a month, and the systems he built to do it are the same ones members get here.
At Get Off The Tools he runs the systems side: the CRM set-ups, the automations, the scoreboard, the Toolkit, and the websites members use to turn visitors into enquiries. If something in the programme can be systemised so you don't have to think about it, Jack has usually already built it.
- £30k → £1ma month, as business manager of a logistics business he helped scale
- SystemsCRM, automation, scoreboards and websites, built once so members don't have to
Four things you can hold us to.
Results first
Every decision in the programme is made on one question: what gets members the best result in the shortest time. Nothing is in the programme because it's interesting.
Straight talk
We don't supply work, we don't promise what we can't measure, and if we don't think we can get you there we'll tell you on the first call.
In writing
The promise, the guarantee, its conditions and how we measure it are published in our terms before you pay a penny. Nothing is sprung on you afterwards.
Treat everyone like someone
Every tradesperson who speaks to us gets the same effort, whether they join or not. It's the standard we hold the whole team to.
Why "Get Off The Tools"?
Because it's the sentence every tradesperson says when they're honest about what they want. Not "I want to be a better plasterer". I want to get off the tools. More money, fewer hours on site, and a business that doesn't fall over when they take a week off.
The name is a registered UK trade mark, which is why you'll see the ® next to it. When you see "Get Off The Tools®", it's us. We're not connected to any other coaching business that uses a similar phrase.
Everything we say here can be verified somewhere we don't control.
