Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Follow The Builders...
Q: What should plasterers post about on LinkedIn and how should they present their business?
Focus on the client's problems first, tailor messaging to the type of client (e.g., luxury developers vs. homeowners), and use written posts or simple visuals rather than flashy content.
Follow The Builders...
Q: Okay, so how important is networking when trying to get consistent work?
Networking is everything; being likable and solving clients' problems for the right price ensures repeat work and loyalty from builders.
Plasterers Share Their Best & Worst Customers
Q: What's the rudest thing a customer has said or done?
Steph describes being belittled as a woman and told she is merely practicing rather than working professionally, which she highlights as a reminder of gender bias in the trades and the importance of staying professional despite the disrespect.
Plasterers Share Their Best & Worst Customers
Q: What is the nicest thing a customer has done for you?
Steph recounts a case where a 80-year-old client appreciated the team's help by molding a piece of coven and applying it free of charge, and later the client's carer bought chocolates and flowers as thanks, highlighting how small acts of kindness can have a big impact.
Plasterers Share Their Best & Worst Customers
Q: Have you ever had a customer give you something extra or be unusually generous?
There were occasional small tips and gestures, including a few drinks or a modest bonus in cash, but nothing extravagant; generosity tended to come in the form of appreciation and a good working relationship over time.
