The problem

Big-city overheads in a small market, and a client base that compares every quote.

The ACT is a small market with big-city costs. Wages, rent and compliance run high, a lot of the work is renovation of older stock or builds under tight development rules, and many businesses work both sides of the NSW border. Coaching builds a rate that carries those overheads, a quoting process for clients who compare carefully, and the systems and roles that let a small crew do steady, profitable work through the Canberra winter.

Coaching is with Tamika, online, wherever you are in Australia. Weekly calls and help between them.

Canberra trade businesses pay big-city wages and rents to serve a small, careful market. Much of the work is renovation of older homes, builds under tight planning and energy rules, and clients who research, compare and expect the paperwork to be right. Many businesses also work across the border in Queanbeyan and the surrounding NSW towns, with a second set of licensing and tax arrangements to manage.

Coaching builds a rate that actually carries ACT overheads, which most owners have never worked out from their own figures. Then a quoting process for a client base that compares every number, so the quote explains the value rather than just the price. Then the systems: roles, job tracking and a budget that keeps a small crew productive through the cold months when the outdoor work slows.

Sessions are weekly and online, in your time zone, with calls and messages between them. On-site sessions can be arranged.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Do you coach trade businesses in Canberra?

Yes. Coaching is online and Australia-wide, with weekly calls in your time zone.

My costs are higher than interstate competitors. How do I price for that?

From your own figures, not theirs. Coaching builds the rate from your wages, rent, compliance and the hours you actually bill, so the price covers Canberra costs and still makes a profit.

I work in both the ACT and NSW. Does coaching cover that?

Yes. Tracking margin by job and by area is part of the financial work, so you know which side of the border is paying you properly.

Which trades do you coach in the ACT?

Builders, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, tilers, joiners, landscapers, painters, roofers, concreters, plasterers, bricklayers and the partners who run the office. Each trade has its own page.

“Cannot believe 6 weeks ago we had 25c in our account. … There’s money in our account & we have just landed our biggest yet electrical job to fill January. It’s been extremely refreshing & reassuring having someone in our corner that knows the nitty gritty of what & where we have gone wrong.”
