21.01.2022 Most of your clients want fast service and they want to feel certain that when they are dealing with you that they are going to receive great quality service. Here are a couple of things you can do to help create certainty and get more quality jobs: 1) Emphasise that you offer fast, efficient service in your marketing.... 2) Respond to calls quickly and get back to people fast. 3) Let your clients know when they can expect you to arrive. The more specific the time the better. 4) Let your clients know how long they can expect the job to take. 5) Be clear about your payment terms up front. (No point in doing the job and not getting paid right) Having some simple systems in place and quality staff makes this much easier. If you would like to learn more about how you can quickly and easily implement these 5 tips into your business comment 5 below!

15.01.2022 What’s your hourly rate? This is such a loaded question isn’t it? An hourly rate actually penalises you for being efficient. The quicker you do the job, the less you get paid, take too long and your clients feel like you are ripping them off. If you charge by the hour, that’s ok, you don’t need to flick a switch overnight and change the way you do business but it’s definitely worth planning on transitioning.... Think of it like a mixer tap, over a period of time you are going to move the lever over so that more and more of your jobs are charged for based on the outcomes you deliver. As you become more efficient, have new and improved systems, you make more profit, you can afford to attract the right kind of people to work for you, which means you make even more money and so the cycle starts to flow. A great starting point is charging people for call outs. We have used a really simple script which makes doing this easy.

14.01.2022 Our Massive Action Day has begun, so excited to have a awesome group of pro-active business owners working together

13.01.2022 We have over 50 business owners and leaders at today’s Massive Action Day...it’s set to be a great day! If you would like to know how you can be at the next one, shoot me a DM

12.01.2022 You will be amazed at how quickly you can get organised and save yourself heaps of time with these three simple steps. As a business owner one of your most precious resources is your time. Most business owners that I meet almost always have a challenge with time. It is also surprising how much time people waste, and the scary thing is that it is generally the people that with the least amount of free time, waste it the most. You can either spend time or invest time. Spending ...Continue reading

11.01.2022 When I first met Pete and Damo just over a year ago, Pete said to me, "we’re OK mate, we are just going to double down, we are bloody good plumbers and we can make this work." After another 6 months of giving it a go, they realized that they were still stuck, it was like "deju vu" or what I like to say "Day Ju Pooh" same shit different day! So, they reached out and we scheduled a time to have a quick chat and to see if I could help them and how we could work together. The... good news is Pete and Damo are bloody good plumbers, but their business had some minor flaws. No matter how hard they were willing to work they would not be able to get their business to work for them. We made a couple of small changes that had a massive impact on their business. Some of these things included getting really clear about the type of work they did, who they did work for (and who they didn’t do work for) as well as how they got paid and when they got paid. We put together a really simple marketing plan that immediately generated more of the right work and we also put some simple systems in place making it super easy for them to track how they were doing financially each week. 6 months later, Pete and Damo look like "the cat that swallowed the canary". Business has become fun, profitable and they have had time off to go fishing, mountain biking as well as camping with their families.

10.01.2022 Here's a testimonial we received from Sy and Amber at Sy Dolphin Electrical; 'We started working with Sam in Sept 2019 at a time when our business was flailing. We had been in operation for over 15 years but a downturn in Tourism severely affected the small town of Port Douglas where our business is located. We were not prepared to give up on so many years of hard work and decided to give Business Coaching a try. It was the best decision we have ever made for our business a...nd has made an enormous impact on us personally as well. We are just kicking ourselves we did not do it sooner. We initially chose to work with Sam as he offered a program specific to Trade Businesses and the video’s he had on his website indicated he knew how best to help businesses like ours. His approach was down to earth but at the same time professional which is how we operate, so was very relatable. It soon became very evident Sam’s advice and support can be used across many different types of businesses and we greatly benefit from working with other business types in our group action days and regular momentum calls. When we first started working with Sam, we were very overwhelmed. We had been working very reactively in our business and there was so much we needed to learn. Our first meetings with Sam assured us, as he was able to help us focus on what was priority for our business at the time. We regularly attend his Momentum Calls to maintain this focus and ensure we are accountable for the commitments we make to work on the different areas benefitting us most. Furthermore, the resources he makes available to us on his members site ensure we always have access to what we need when we need it. We are able to review areas we are unsure about and find templates and examples we can use so we do not have to reinvent the wheel. We really cannot speak highly enough of Sam and his amazing team especially in light of the recent Covid-19 "spanner in the works". He is doing everything he can to ensure he provides us with the tools to keep our businesses going in completely unprecedented circumstances. Thank god we have his support as this would be a whole lot scarier without it. With his help we can see the opportunities we will be able to take advantage of over the coming months and we will come out the other side stronger for it.'

07.01.2022 It’s a great room filled with great people at today’s MAD (Massive Action Day)

07.01.2022 I bet you often tell people what you do, do. But how often do you tell them what you don’t do? When you complete a job quickly it is important to let your client know you haven’t cut corners. A great way to do this is through good communication before, during and after a job. ... Make sure you let your clients know what you are going to do and definitely let them know what you have done. This can be done onsite or followed up with a phone call or e-mail afterwards. Taking photos of the work is also a very helpful way of letting people know what you have done. Let your clients know you don’t cut corners, your years of experience, the training you provide, the systems you follow and if you really want to take things to another level then put a strong, compelling guarantee in place and just keep telling everyone about it all the time!

07.01.2022 Im in Townsville next week, who can join me for the last face to face workshop of the year? This is always popular one, how to finish 2020 strong and hit the ground running in 2021.

06.01.2022 How many times have you asked yourselfwhere did the time go? That terrible feeling of shit it’s the end of the day already or the end of the week already or the end of the financial year already and I just haven’t got done the stuff I need to do! I understand it is really easy to get caught up doing the urgent stuff but not the important stuff.... Here are a few things you can do to help break that cycle: 1) Track what you do with your existing time every 30 minutes. 2) Classify time quoting, calls, e-mails, team, sales, driving. 3) Design your ideal week chunk, daily scrum get the day started right, weekly meeting,- short and sweet, set time for e-mail, set times for meetings, quoting. 4) Put value on your time pricing, marketing, systems, relationship building. 5) Plan the week on Mondays or even Sunday, plan the day the day before.
