Do you supply me with work?+
No. We build your ability to win your own work, at better prices, from sources you control, so you're never dependent on anyone else's pipeline, including ours.
If we come across work that suits a member we may make an introduction, but it is never promised, never charged for and never part of the offer.
Who is this for?+
UK tradespeople turning over roughly £80k to £500k who are still on the tools most of the week: from a one-man band or a van and a lad up to a small team, who know they're capable of more and have been stuck at the same level for too long.
Wherever you sit in that range, we start at Step 1. Even members already turning over £300k usually find Steps 1 to 5 of the roadmap are half-built, and that's exactly why they're stuck. We'll tell you honestly on the call whether we're the right fit.
What trade do I need to be in?+
Any of them. Electricians, plumbers and heating engineers, plasterers, decorators, joiners, groundworkers, landscapers, roofers and builders are all in the programme. The roadmap is about the business, not the trade, and every lesson comes with a worked example from a named trade with real numbers.
Is this a course or a subscription?+
Neither. It's a 12-month coaching programme: a weekly live coaching call, one-to-one review calls at 90, 180 and 270 days, the full training school, the member community and the Toolkit of calculators, templates, scripts and checklists. One fee. No monthly subscription, no upsells.
What does it cost?+
We go through it on your call, once we both know this is a fit. One programme, one fee, and you'll know exactly what you're getting before you decide. Website builds are an optional add-on priced separately, so you only pay for one if you want one. You can pay in full or spread the cost over up to 12 monthly instalments on your existing credit card through our finance partner Splitit, with no interest, no fees and no credit check. Details on our finance page.
What does the guarantee actually say?+
If you do the work for 12 months and haven't added £100,000 of annual turnover and cut your hours on the tools by at least two full days a week, you choose: a full refund of the programme fee, or up to another 12 months of coaching at no charge. Either way you keep the Toolkit.
The conditions are the action steps of the programme, listed in full in your agreement on day one, nothing hidden. See how the guarantee works.
I'm flat out already. Where do I find the time?+
Three hours a week on the business. That's the deal. The first moves, prices up, deposits on every job, enquiries answered inside the hour, show inside 30 days and buy that time back. Calls fit around site hours and every call is recorded if you miss one.
What happens on the free call?+
Thirty minutes with one of the team. We go through where the business is now (turnover, average job value, hours on the tools, how work comes in), where you want it to be, and what's actually in the way. If we think we can get you there, we'll explain how the programme would work for you. If we don't, we'll tell you.
How is this different from other trade business coaching?+
Three things. The order: price, then sales, then capacity, then leads, because pouring leads into an underpriced one-man band just makes you busier and no richer. The implementation system: a seven-number scoreboard, an Implementation Record, checkpoints at 90, 180 and 270 days and a silence protocol, so nobody drifts. And the guarantee, which is tied to doing the work, not to watching videos.
And you're coached by people who built a contracting business from nothing, not by a seminar circuit.
Do I have to travel to events?+
No. Everything runs online: the weekly live call, the one-to-one review calls, the training school and the community. Where in-person events are held they're optional and on separate terms.
What if I fall behind?+
Seven days without a post in the community and you'll hear from us. Fourteen days and we ring you. At 180 days we check your progress together and tell you in writing if you're behind, and you get 30 days to catch up so the 12-month result is never a surprise.
Is there a contract?+
Yes. A short, plain-English partnership agreement plus our published general terms. The guarantee, its conditions and exactly how the result is measured are all in there. Nothing is hidden and nothing is sprung on you after you've paid.
What happens after the twelve months?+
You keep the Toolkit, every calculator, template, script and checklist, for life once you've completed the programme. If you want to keep working the roadmap with us into Stages 2 and 3, we'll talk about that near the end of your term.
