If there’s one thing your trade business needs to succeed, it’s good time management. Most staff members in a trade business work long hours, and sometimes emergency hours, to ensure every task is completed.
This means you’re left scrambling for extra hours in the day to complete the business management tasks or simply time to relax.
Time management is a vital skill for any tradie and is what separates one trade business from another. You can assess your time management skills and determine where your business could improve by completing a four-step process.
For example, if you’ve identified that taking phone calls after hours prevents you from concentrating on much needed paperwork, you may want to set your phone to do not disturb after hours, or use a work phone that can be put away at the end of the day.
While running a trade business is all about assisting your customers, it’s important to manage your time efficiently so your customers are receiving the best possible service from you and you have time to complete other business responsibilities.
While it may seem ideal to offer your services to anyone and everyone, this can sometimes hinder your business growth.
A key tip for tradies is to offer your services to specific market areas so you can grow your business and become the go-to tradie for that area. It’s important to focus your advertising budget in this market area too. This way, you’re not wasting your time or money advertising to an area that may already have a go-to tradie.
Unfortunately, tradies face dozens of workplace risks every day – more so than any other occupation. It’s important to assess which insurances you may need, including:
Speak to a business insurance broker as soon as you start-up your business to determine what you need to ensure you’re covered.
