How Business Coaching Helped One Owner Halve Hours, Grow His Team, and Exceed $2M Revenue

Business Coaching for Electrical Contractors: Real Growth, Less Stress

This is the story of how one trade business owner transformed a high-pressure, hands-on business into a scalable, team-driven operation, without working longer hours.

With the support of business coaching for trades, and a clear focus on strategic planning, leadership development, and smart delegation, the results came quickly: revenue up, hours down, and real control regained.

The Owners Struggles

Spending nights and weekends quoting jobs and still falling behind

A large teal check mark in the shape of an X on a white background.

Managing 10+ jobs at once, with scheduling chaos and no system

Constant calls from site - “Where’s the gear?”, “What’s next?”

Chasing invoices with no proper cash flow tracking

No time for family or holidays

Coaching Outcomes

Grew from 3 to 22 staff with strong internal leadership

50% year-on-year profit growth for three consecutive years

A reliable quoting and scheduling system that removed daily chaos

Team leaders handling site decisions without needing the owner’s input

The owner now enjoys weekends off - without the phone ringing

This wasn’t a lack of effort, it was a lack of structure.

The business had grown, but the internal operations hadn’t kept up.
No systems for quoting, scheduling or stock management
No second-in-command to handle the day-to-day
No clear pathways for team development or delegation
No financial visibility to make proactive decisions
And no time or space to lead - only to react

That’s when they reached out for business coaching.

What Was Missing

“The business was making money, but it was running me into the ground.

I couldn’t switch off. And I couldn’t see how to grow without sacrificing more of myself.”

How Coaching Helped

Working together, we:

Clarified the owner’s personal goals and business vision
Identified the biggest time drains and structured them out
Recruited and trained an Operations Manager with clear authority
Implemented quoting, scheduling, and job tracking systems
Built a leadership team and mapped clear roles and reporting lines
Established live dashboards for cash flow and profitability
Created retention strategies through training and career pathways

This wasn’t theory - it was hands-on, practical coaching tailored to a real electrical business under pressure.

“Letting go felt risky-but with systems and structure in place, it gave me the breathing space I needed to lead and grow.”

What the Business Looks Like Now

The company runs with or without the owner:

Operations Manager runs the day-to-day, removing the owner from the chaos
Staff increased from 3 to 22 with leadership at every level
Jobs flow smoothly with clear schedules and materials lists
The owner reviews dashboards weekly - not chasing numbers daily
He spends evenings and weekends doing what he wants - not what the business demands

The Impact in Their Words

“Before coaching, I was exhausted, working long hours, constantly stressed, and carrying the whole business on my back. Now, I’ve got a team I trust, systems that run without me, and the freedom to actually enjoy my life again. I can take time off without everything falling apart. That peace of mind is priceless.”
