    If you’re already doing the work, why not get paid more for it? In this episode, Mitch and Head Coach Thomas Marshall break down how tradie business owners can spot simple upsell opportunities while on site — and turn everyday jobs into bigger profits without more marketing, leads, or stress.

    Here’s what we cover:

    • Real examples of how tradies add 20–30% more revenue from the same clients

    • Ways to train your team to offer solutions on site (and increase job value instantly)

    • Why upselling is about service, not just sales

    In this episode, our Head Coach Luke sits down with Nathan and Nathan from https://n2electrical.com.au/

    What started as a side hustle while holding down full-time jobs quickly grew into a full-blown tradie business.

    Our Co-Founder and Head Coach Mitch and Head Coach Kirk are finally back together in the studio—and they’re tackling one of the biggest challenges tradie business owners face: staff conversations.

    GC Event https://www.upscale-coaching.com/gold-coast-live-event-podcast




    Here’s the truth: around 70% of workplace efficiency issues in tradie businesses come from communication breakdowns. That’s why mastering difficult staff conversations isn’t just “nice to have”—it’s the key to keeping your team focused, productive, and working well together.

    In this episode, Mitch and Kirk share real strategies for handling tough chats with your tradie crew—whether it’s about performance, attitude, or getting everyone on the same page.
