For trade business owners chasing their own money
The job is finished.
The money never came.Learn how to get paid on time.
Getting paid late is not bad luck and it is not the economy. It is what a business collects when nothing in it makes paying you the easy option.

You are not the only one

of the coaching calls we can read from the last five months has money owed in it: an invoice unpaid, a customer refusing, or an owner chasing what he has already earned.
“I've got almost 30 grand in invoices that I'm chasing.”
“They're just not paying.”

The thing nobody tells you
You are not being difficult
First you wait, because you do not want to be that bloke.
Then you ring, and get accounts, and a date that comes and goes.
Then you are funding their business out of yours. And now it feels like you.
It was never you.
A trade business gets paid the way its quoting, its terms and its invoicing let it get paid. No deposit, nothing signed, and an invoice sent whenever there is time, and you have built a business that funds everybody else first.
“We want to get paid for that before you do it.”
Thirty minutes, one on one. It costs nothing.
What it is actually costing
The wait is the smallest part
The sixty day wait
Your invoice sits out at sixty days. Your suppliers want thirty. You fund the gap.
The wages you cover
The money has not landed and Thursday comes anyway. So the crew gets paid and you do not.
The hours chasing
Ringing, emailing, ringing again. Unpaid admin at nine at night, on money you already earned.
What it costs at home
It follows you in the door. A card declined in front of your kids is not a cash flow event.
What changes
A business that gets paid without a fight
Money before you start
A deposit that covers materials and time, taken at the quote. A step in the job, not a favour to ask for.
Terms that get you paid
Progress claims, a signed scope, a due date that means something. Used every time, so it is a system and not a confrontation.
An invoice out the same day
Sent the day the work is done, not the weekend you catch up on paperwork. Most late payment starts as late invoicing.
A business that runs without you
Work comes in without you chasing it, and the money comes in without you chasing that either.
“I'm not going backwards, but I wasn't getting anywhere.”
He said that about years of work that covered its costs and moved nothing. What changed was not how hard he chased. It was that the money stopped needing chasing.
Proof it changes
Owners who were here, and are not any more
Real members, real names, on the record.
“I've never been busier, and I'm charging almost double what we were before. I used to be scared of raising prices, but now I see the value we bring.”
4.9 from 123 Google reviews, and 9,000+ trade business owners trained across Australia and New Zealand.
No cost, no card, and you are not obliged to buy anything.
The complimentary coaching call
Thirty minutes, one on one
With a trade business coach who has run one. Not a webinar.
Where the business is now, and what is actually capping it.
Where your money is stuck, and what let it get stuck there.
The first thing to change, and the order to change it in.
How our training, programs and tools would help you do it. It costs nothing and you are not obliged to buy anything. For owners over $20k a month.

Not a pep talk. The terms, the systems and the training that change who gets paid first.
The lessons on cash and structure
Seven lessons on cash flow and business structure, and eighteen on knowing your numbers. Deposits, progress claims, what a job really costs and what your hour has to be worth.
Take a lookThe Quoting Character pack

Take a lookThe charge out rate calculator

Take a lookBefore you book
Who this call is for
Book it if
- You are turning over $20k a month or more and the money is still slow
- You have invoices out past their terms right now
- You are funding wages and materials out of your own pocket while you wait
- You have never taken a deposit and are not sure how to start asking
- You want a business that gets paid without a fight, not just a better chasing script
Give it a miss if
- You are under $20k a month, in which case the free app is the better start and it already includes a coaching session
- You want a debt collector rather than a change to how the business runs
- You are not willing to change your quoting or your terms
- You think one more polite email will fix it
Straight answers
What people ask before they book
Is this a sales call?
It is a coaching call and we do talk about how our training, programs and tools would help, because that is the point of us. It costs nothing, there is no obligation, and you will get a straight read on your business either way.
What actually happens when I put my email in?
The calendar loads and you pick a time that suits. It takes about thirty seconds and there is no card and no form to fill out first.
How long is it and who will I be talking to?
Thirty minutes, one on one, on a video call with a trade business coach who has built and run a trade business. Not a webinar and not a salesperson reading a script.
I have tried a business coach before and it went nowhere.
Most owners we speak to have. The difference here is that everything is built specifically for trade businesses, by people who have run them, and 9,000+ owners have been through it.
I am flat out. Is thirty minutes really going to be worth it?
You will leave knowing where your money is stuck, what let it get stuck there, and the first thing to change. If that is not worth thirty minutes, do not book it.
Learn how to get paid on time.
Pick a time. Thirty minutes, no cost, and you will leave knowing what to change first.
Turning over under $20k a month? Start with the free app instead. It costs nothing and it already includes a complimentary coaching session.
P.S.
You did the work. The money is yours. A business that has to chase it is not a business with a difficult customer problem, it is a business whose quoting, terms and invoicing were never set up to get paid, and every one of those is a decision you can change. Thirty minutes, no cost, and you will know which one to change first.
