Top 6 Qualities of a Master Tradesperson

Here are the top six qualities that a Good Tradesperson must display…

‍

1: Hard Work – there’s no avoiding this.

We’d all love to be at a Gold Coast beach surfing the day away but the realities of being a tradie are that you have to work. That being said you might as well work like you mean it. Be present, be focused. Lastly, don’t work like you are running a sprint, work as though you are in a marathon, this will save your back when you are 55.

‍

2: Being Punctual – Most tradespeople are bad at keeping time.

The very simple act of keeping a tight schedule, routine and trying your very best to stick to it will put you in the top 1% of tradies.

‍

3: Great at Problem Solving – All construction is problem solving when you break it down to its core.

Define the problem. Determine its root causes. Find multiple solutions. Narrow down to the best one. Plan appropriately. Execute and oh… measure twice cut once.

‍

4: Communication (bonus points for humour) – a satisfied customer is a repeat customer.

Be firm but always fair. You will always make more money if you care about genuinely helping the customer and providing them with the best options. Always keep your word, be polite and know your product.

‍

5: Safety – The worst thing for cash flow is getting hurt.

You gotta do what you gotta do, especially as a small business but safety should always be at the forefront of your mind.

‍

6: Professionalism – there’s absolutely nothing worse than a slob turning up to your house to fix an issue.

If you want to charge $200+ an hour, look and present your business like you are worth $200+ per hour. Brush your teeth properly, don’t show your arse crack, clean your vehicle and feel confident in yourself.

‍

7. Bonus

Use Tradiespace! I’m a bit biased with this last one but I reckon you should definitely check it out.
