When looking at building businesses to create the Smith & Sons Franchise
model we identified 4 key areas that builders always struggle with.
When looking at building businesses to create the Smith & Sons Franchise model we identified 4 key areas that builders always struggle with.

MARKETING

FINANCIAL

TIME

FUTURE

We identified that there are plenty of skilled builders out there, who are amazing craftspeople but were never taught the skills required to run a business. We help turn your valuable skills into a business that provides for you and your family now and well into the future.

Marketing and sales are some of the most difficult things for builders to manage. It’s all about talking and connecting with people, and many builders simply don’t have the time. However, unless you do this – and understand the importance of a ‘sales funnel’, your business simply cannot survive. We always hear the old chestnut of ‘I never advertise, I just work on referrals’.

Unfortunately, population growth across many areas of the country means that word of mouth just cannot keep up. More and more people simply Google builders in their area, which means you’ve got the added pressure and expense of growing your brand online. Then, once you attract more leads, you need the skills to convert those leads into jobs.

Smith & Sons understands this – and as a Smith & Sons Franchise Partner, you have access to years of sales and marketing knowledge that can keep you ahead of your competition in this critical area. Plus, we’ve already done the hard work to build our trusted brand, both online and in the real world.

Let’s face it – business is about making money. Yes, we all have our reasons ‘why’ we entered into business. But if our business isn’t making any money, none of our initial visions will get off the ground. We are consistently amazed at how this area of business is left in bits of paper in car gloveboxes, shoeboxes, desks, filing cabinets and more. Then dumped on a bookkeeper’s desk once a year with instruction to make it all work! Finance is one of the main reasons your enterprise exists, yet so little attention is paid to it.

It is absolutely critical that this area of any building or renovation company (or any business for that matter) is addressed DAILY. You need to understand the numbers, be confident in your cash flow, and know which reports to check and how to read them. You simply can’t afford to stick your head in the sand with this stuff and hope it will all be ok. Don’t be the classic case of finding money in your account, buying the new ute then putting it on Gumtree a few months later because you can’t pay your bills.

Get control, be in charge. Smith & Sons has worked with builders for over 10 years developing the tools to manage your finances. That’s what you get as part of a Smith & Sons renovation franchise.

Where did it all go?!? Do you realise time is the only commodity in the world you can never get back? Once it’s gone – it’s gone! We all want time to do the things we enjoy – that’s why it is so important to manage our time effectively in a building and renovation business. It’s called time management – and the only way to do that is with efficient systems and tools to help you run your business. From the first time a client calls about a new renovation, to when you hand over the key, all processes should be systemised.

Staff, marketing, procedures, trades, operations – there needs to be systems around all these things. This is what allows you as a business owner to get off the tools and start growing the business. Plus, systems give you more time to do the things YOU want to do. If you do what you have to now, you can do what you want to later, that’s the way it goes.

A Smith & Sons renovation franchise gives you the systems to save you time and make your business run effectively.

We’re all guilty of being complacent about the future. Things are going well, so we just cruise along happily. The problem is, the ‘future’ can hit us a lot quicker than we expected. All of a sudden, you’re wondering how you can support yourself and your family without being on the tools until you’re 70! Not to mention the fact that things like financial crises, global pandemics, injury or illness can cause the ‘future’ to be forced on us much earlier than we expected.

So, why not do something about it now? Rather than look back and think about what you should have done, put the wheels in motion now. Things might be going fine now – you’ve got leads, some good contracts, you’re physically fit and paying your bills. But will it always be that way?

A Smith & Sons renovation franchise helps you build a sustainable business that generates income long after you put down the tools. It’s a way to future-proof your income and look after your family well into the future.
