The Ultimate Guide For Managing Tradespeople

Do you HATE when employees make avoidable mistakes? 

Nobody’s perfect but employees can take a profitable job and screw it up big time. 

Mistakes in business can be a death sentence. 

But business owners like you and I can also make mistakes. 

The difference is our mistakes tend to be a lot more expensive. 

An apprentice might do a poor job which costs $500 to fix. 

But a business owner who hasn’t delegated that job properly is leaving much more on the table. 

It’s easy to see when staff muck up because we have to pay for it. 

But when we muck up, it sometimes isn’t even noticed. 

But that really needs to change because I’m sick of business owners throwing away 20% of their net margin on bad management and not noticing 

So Phil & I sat down to talk about how to be profitable managers. 

WHAT YOU’LL GAIN FROM LISTENING TO TODAY’S PODCAST: 

  1. The best ways to manage your team in 2024 
  2. How to make your team less dependent on you. 
  3. The process for reducing team mistakes.
