INVITE-LED
“I keep losing quotes on price.”
THE
ROOM
ROOM
Put the real problem on the table.
WHY INVITE-LED?
THE RIGHT ROOM
MATTERS.
Trades That Win is invite-led because the room only works when the people in it are there for the right reasons.
We are not trying to fill seats.
We are building useful local communities of trades business owners who are prepared to talk properly about the business, share experience, challenge each other and get better.
THE QUALITY OF THE ROOM
IS PART OF THE PRODUCT.
THE OTHER JOB
YOU KNOW YOUR TRADE.
RUNNING THE BUSINESS
IS THE OTHER JOB.
Customers.
Pricing.
Quotes.
Margins.
Cash flow.
Staff.
Scheduling.
Sales.
Decisions.
Growth.
Nobody teaches most trades business owners how to deal with all of that.
And running the business can be considerably harder than doing the work.
Trades That Win gives you somewhere to work on it.WHAT HAPPENS IN THE ROOM
BRING THE PROBLEM
INTO THE ROOM.
The most useful conversations rarely start with a presentation. They start with a real problem.
“I know we’re busy, but I don’t know whether we’re making enough.”
“Customers keep comparing us with cheaper firms.”
“I need to put my prices up.”
“I’m doing everything myself.”
“We’ve grown, but the business feels harder to control.”
“I need more of the right kind of work.”
“I don’t know what my real hourly rate should be.”
01Put the problem on the table.
02Hear how other owners have handled it.
03Get challenged.
04Get another perspective.
05Work out what you are actually going to do next.

WIN BETTER WORK
STOP MAKING PRICE
THE ONLY REASON
TO CHOOSE YOU.
Good trades businesses lose good work every day because the customer can see three prices but cannot see enough difference between the businesses behind them.
If everything looks the same, the cheapest number has an enormous advantage.
Trades That Win helps you work on the things that change that.
01How you price.
02How you present the work.
03How you explain value.
04How you structure a proposal.
05How you follow up.
06How you communicate.
07How confidently you understand your own numbers.
08How you build a business customers actually want to choose.
YOU DON’T ALWAYS NEED TO BE CHEAPER.
YOU NEED TO GIVE PEOPLE A BETTER REASON TO CHOOSE YOU.
PEOPLE WHO GET IT
THERE ARE THINGS ANOTHER TRADES BUSINESS OWNER UNDERSTANDS IMMEDIATELY.
The customer who changes the job halfway through.
The quote you spent hours producing and never heard about again.
The team member you don’t know how to manage.
The month that looks busy but somehow doesn’t generate enough cash.
The decision you have been putting off because there is nobody sensible to talk it through with.
Trades That Win puts you in a room with people running businesses and dealing with many of the same realities. This is not networking for networking’s sake. It is a business community built around usefulness.
SHARED EXPERIENCE.DIRECT HELP.BETTER DECISIONS.
TTW PARTNERS
LOCAL PEOPLE.
LOCAL GROUPS.
BACKED BY TRADES THAT WIN.
Every local Trades That Win group is led by a TTW Partner.
Their role is not simply to host a meeting.
They bring people together, create the right environment, help keep the conversation useful and connect local business owners with the wider capability of Trades That Win.
THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVANTAGE
AND THEN THERE’S
TTW OS.
THE ROOM HELPS YOU DECIDE WHAT TO CHANGE.
THE OS HELPS YOU DO IT.
Most business groups end when everyone leaves the room. Trades That Win doesn’t.
TTW OS gives you practical tools to put better business decisions into action between sessions.
