The aim of the process is to help the tradesman to develop a more profitable and sustainable business, but one that doesn’t take 18 hours a day to run.
Andy Burrows has been an advisor to SME businesses for around 7 years and prior to that spent 25 years in a range a mid management roles in corporate, mostly in the sales and marketing space. This has allowed him to bring big business thinking and processes into small businesses, thus completing the jig-saw puzzle of business ownership that hold many tradesmen back from achieving the success they deserve.
How do The Trades Coach programs work?
There are a number of ways that a business owner can engage the services of The Trades Coach. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses and these will be discussed with the owner before the most appropriate solution is implemented. These options include:
• One-on-one fortnightly coaching sessions. The most popular option
• Business Master Class group sessions with up to 5 other owners
• Hourly charge-up on specific projects
In the future it is envisaged that a “virtual coaching” option will be added that will enable remote or after-hours access to training modules. Watch this space.
