Plumbing Problems In The Internet Age

This week on Don’t Get Left Out In The Cold host Mick Norris discusses the problems with the plumbing and gas industry in the age of the internet. 

 

He highlights the problems for smaller tradesmen when bigger companies offer boiler fitting services. Bigger companies are able to supply services much cheaper and sometimes even at a loss which allows them to quickly take over the market.

 

Mick explains the solution to combating these big companies is for engineers to find work independently and not through the internet-based companies as well as using services like Trade Mastermind to fill in the gaps in their own business school knowledge.

 

In this episode you will hear: 

 

• The problems faced by tradesmen in the age of internet
• The power of coaching to help tradesmen build business skills
• How the big companies are able to offer such low prices and gain market share
