As a (former) plumber, I always felt I had more to offer the industry than just clearing blocked sewers.
While I was working in a sales and marketing role within the industry, I kept seeing companies who were great at what they did, but struggled when it came to letting their potential market know.
With a keen interest in digital media and a few clients already on the books, keen to forge ahead with a solution to help their business develop, I started to create websites.
One thing led to another and before I knew it, we were in full scale production, providing not just websites, but tailored solutions to dozens of trade businesses.
From there, we never looked back. What I’m most proud of now is being able to bring a product to the market place that I know can really add value to tradespeople.
“It’s a way I can give back to the industry I love.”
The application of strategies and actions that move the needle.
Think and solve problems, rather than asking for solutions. Be proactive.
Do what you say you’re going to do.
We can always improve the way we think, operate and deliver. Optimise everything.
It will solve 99% of any problem. Use the tools we have to stay in regular communication.
