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 one-on-one 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.

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.
