Electrical businesses grow fast on good work and stall on admin, quoting and hiring. Coaching puts the structure in before the stall.
We work on pricing that covers overheads and licences, a quoting process that closes, and the HR strategies to hire and keep good sparkies.
Coaching is with Tamika, online, wherever you are in Australia. Weekly calls and help between them.
Electrical businesses tend to grow quickly on good work and referrals, then stall on everything that is not electrical: quoting, admin, licences, insurance and finding good sparkies. Coaching puts the structure in before the stall, so the growth does not turn into longer days for the owner.
We work on pricing that covers overheads and licences, a quoting process that closes without you spending every night on it, and the people side: hiring, training and keeping good electricians when every other business is trying to poach them.
Hourly rates and material markups both hide your real margin. Here is how to price trade work from your true cost per productive hour, with a worked example.

Read →PricingIf you are flat out and still short at the end of the quarter, your trade business is probably undercharging. Here are the nine signs, and the week-one fix.
Read →Overheads, licences, insurance, the vehicle, tools and testing gear, the hours that are not billable, and profit. Most electrical businesses leave out two or three of those. Coaching builds the full rate with you.
With a quoting process: standard rates for common jobs, a template for the rest, and a rule for when a site visit is needed. Coaching sets the process and the margin it protects.
Hire for the business you are building, pay properly, set clear roles and give people a reason to stay. HR strategy is part of the coaching, not an afterthought.
Guidance, yes. Tamika is a business consultant, not a marketing agency: she helps you set up your Facebook and Google Ads so the enquiries match the jobs you want, rather than the cheapest callouts.
Both. The plan fits a sole trader planning a first hire as well as a business running several vans.
