What Other Tradies Have Say About Next Level Tra
“ “ “
The event was great! It was a really good overview of how everything fits together for our business. And it gave me inspiration
to really understand who our target audience is and what my goals as a business owner are. It helped us take time out to work on the business rather than in the business so we could find our ‘path’ again.. - Geoff
What I loved about the event was the specifics that Andy and Ange offered. I was pretty confident in my skills for my
trade. But, I didn’t have a good understanding of the ‘business’ side, particularly my numbers. The lessons that I learnt about the business side were all specifically trade based. - Alex
Straight off the bat you walk away with an understanding of where you can improve your business. It really costs you nothing. And it was great to meet Andy and Ange in person too, see they were real people with positive vibes. The whole event was a real community thing too, we met new people and learnt that we’re really not alone in the world of trade business. - Dane

I attended the Next Level Tradie event and loved it. Since attending my partner and I have implemented one lesson Andy
and Ange discussed and within one day, had converted $77k worth of quotes we would have otherwise lost. - Camilla
Andy and Ange are great presenters. The event was very fun and informative and there was heaps of good content. The ABC and
D Customer Grading System in particular stood out to me and I was able to implement it straight away. - Mitchell
The event was really helpful because the lessons were really specific to the trade industry and a lot of the key points they were talking about really hit home. It has really opened my eyes up to what you need to do to run a successful business, not just the bare basics. Implementing the tips and lessons we learnt at the event has already made a huge difference to the way we run things. I’m really looking forward to seeing where our business can end up and how good we can be. - Jack

More Information On What You Will Learn At The Next Level Tradie Many tradies we speak with have struggled with the growing pains of business, or perhaps have grown only to shrink back in size saying ‘that was all too hard!’ This experience affects confidence, makes them second guess decisions, and hence lack direction & focus about the future. They don’t know what to do next. The reason they feel this way is simple: regardless of their years trading, we have found one simple yet fundamental error in operating business has taken place; They’ve got the business model wrong.
To result in ultimate freedom – whether they plan to scale, sell (one day) or take that well deserved week away with their loved ones (& still make money), the business relies completely on having the right business model. You need to have successfully answered questions to gain all pieces of the pie to be able to enter the middle and win the game. This is just like business. Too many trade business owners skip the effort to master each piece of the pie, focused only on the middle prize of success. They wonder why they fail.
The right business model is just like the board game Trivial Pursuit.

On the next few pages we will take you deep within each area and showcase examples of what attendees of The Next Level Tradie will discover.

Marketing For many trade business owners effective marketing is a mystery, perhaps they don’t know where to start or they’ve invested in different ideas only to fail in attracting quality A grade customers or worse still, they don’t know if their investment has brought any new customers at all. The reality is, without marketing they don’t have a business. To understand & apply the latest cutting edge ideas, strategies & sales techniques, catering to the everdemanding customer in both the online & offline world, are critical to their success. Under Marketing are the 3 Pillars of: Core Campaigns Customer Service Mastering marketing & actively applying their plan is simply a nonnegotiable high return activity. If they want more customers, a high turnover with an increase on profit margin, then consistent momentum on this principle is critical to their success.

Money Worrying about money has a negative effect on trade business owners energy levels, passion & business confidence. It’s exhausting! That said, “I don’t know my numbers” has never been an acceptable sentence if they want to lead a strong & profitable trade business. It’s time to put a stop to making decisions based on emotion & start making them based on cold hard fact. To be more specific – financial fact first & foremost. They will discover the steps to grasp their financial situation TODAY that will provide certainty to plan for their financial future tomorrow. Under Money are the 3 Pillars of: Fundamentals Numbers Monitor The focus here is their finances & getting them in order. Not understanding their numbers & not having a handle on the cash flow can be the death of even the best business.
