Om denne podcast
If you run a plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or any other trades business and you’re tired of long hours, cash flow headaches, and pricing battles, this podcast is for you.
Join Tony Fraser-Jones and Phil Smith from Profitable Tradie as they break down straight-shooting strategies to help you make more money, work fewer hours, and get your business running smoothly—without the usual headaches.
We tackle the real challenges every trades business owner faces:
✔ How do I find and keep good techs when everyone is hiring?
✔ What do I do when customers don’t pay their invoices?
✔ How do I charge what I’m worth without getting undercut?
✔ Should I buy or lease my next truck or van?
✔ How do I get my crew to stop scrolling their phones and actually work?
✔ What’s the second easiest way to increase my profits? (The first is hitting play on this podcast!)
We also bring on some of the most successful trades business owners in the world—real people who’ve built multimillion-dollar companies—so you can learn exactly how they did it.
