The first of our Tradies’ Hot Seat victims is Helen Yost from the all-girl plumbing business The Plumbettes. Helen asked for help via a social media group to deal with the Christmas slow down experienced by many tradie businesses.

We invited Helen into the studio for a live consultation and looked at some simple ways she could generate some more leads quickly, convert more of those leads into customers and do it profitably and without spending a ton of money on advertising.

We covered strategies and topics such as:

• defining your target market
• measuring the effectiveness of your marketing
• networking
• alliances and how to make them work
• social media strategy
• the use of free PR to get traffic to your site
• and so much more!

By helping to spread the word we can help more tradies get off the tools and into a lifestyle they deserve.
