84. How A Broke Plasterer Grew His Rendering Business By 783%, With Adam Hulse
Q: What role did video marketing play in your growth, and what advice would you give others about getting started?
Video marketing helped build trust and show the process and benefits in real time, which is far more convincing than text. The advice is to just start small, films short 10-20 second clips, and progressively improve—people are supportive and it drives leads.
84. How A Broke Plasterer Grew His Rendering Business By 783%, With Adam Hulse
Q: How did you come to choose spray cork and what impact did it have on your growth?
Spray cork offered better margins and a practical solution for salt air and mould issues in Devon. Training and becoming an approved applicator opened doors to larger, more consistent contracts and allowed me to scale from a wage to a real business.
84. How A Broke Plasterer Grew His Rendering Business By 783%, With Adam Hulse
Q: What were the initial challenges you faced as a one-man plasterer, and how did you start shifting toward a scalable business?
The early days were chaotic: no reviews, no systems, and I was winging it with day rates and cutting margins. The turning point came when I joined the Inner Circle, focused on mindset first, then built a marketing plan, defined the target market, and implemented automated processes that turned inquiries into organized leads and jobs.
