  • Microphone’s a rebel!

    The content is top-tier. The insights are genuinely valuable and the advice borders on wisdom. Seriously, this is good stuff.

    But the audio… please fix the bloody mic.

    I can’t be the only one listening in a van, wrestling road noise while trying to decode what sounds like it was recorded inside a biscuit tin. A half-decent microphone and a touch of basic mixing would elevate the show!

    Thanks guys, really appreciate the show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#35 Live Q&A With Wayne & Andy: Pricing, Profit, Leads & Scaling Your Trades Business
Q: What is the next move for increasing freedom and profit given a business already doing good with builders?
Focus on private homeowner lead generation, build financial buffers, and raise pricing across the board while maintaining service quality, so you're not dependent on a single builder source and can scale more freely.
#17 - Quote Better. Win More Work. 🚀 The Professional Quoting System That Changes Everything
Q: Can a shared link be used for multiple quotes or is each quote unique?
Each quote is unique and sent individually; duplication is possible in the workflow, but the system normally revolves around per-job quotes linked to customer data.
#17 - Quote Better. Win More Work. 🚀 The Professional Quoting System That Changes Everything
Q: Does Quotient integrate with ServiceMate or export data to Xero?
Quotient can link with ServiceMate for data flow; invoices are generated in ServiceMate and reconciled with Xero, though there are multiple paths depending on how the business structures its workflow.
#17 - Quote Better. Win More Work. 🚀 The Professional Quoting System That Changes Everything
Q: Liam asked if you have to produce the quote every time or can you just send a link for the customer to generate their own quote?
No, each quote has to be sent individually; while you can streamline data transfer between systems, you still generate and send personalized quotes for each job.
#12 From British Gas to Buying a Rival 🔥 Lee Davis’ Relentless Rise in the Trades
Q: What advice would you give to people starting a business?
Start where you want to be, have strong pricing from the start, and seek advice from others.
