That quote from two months ago is now losing you money. 📈

Your Rundown for the week 👇
→ Build-material costs jumped 2.1% in a SINGLE quarter (ABS). Any quote older than ~8 weeks is bleeding margin — re-price before you send. And output prices are up 5.9%/yr, so the market's paying ~6% more. Stop pricing off last summer.
→ A builder just copped a $400,000 WorkSafe fine for a fabricated steel truss it installed but never verified. "The supplier's problem" is your problem the second you install it — check the docs, keep the paper.
→ 🔥 Our own lead board jumped 28% this week and it's spreading — bathrooms nearly doubled, and now decks, wiring and roofs are climbing too.

Price to today, check what you install, and let the cowboys cut the corners.

The biggest tradie debate: meat pie or sausage roll? 🥧 We asked the Gold Coast tradies and it came down to a DEAD HEAT — 4 all. So you settle it 👇 pie or roll?

We hit a Gold Coast site to settle the biggest debate in the trade. 🛻

Hilux or Ranger?

One bloke swore black and blue by the Ranger… then admitted he sold it and drives a Prius now 💀

Settle it below 👇 Hilux or Ranger — and what are you actually driving?

Don't bank on an August rate cut. 📉

Your Rundown for the week 👇
→ Jobs jumped +76,300 and unemployment held at 4.4% — so the RBA has little reason to cut on 11 Aug. The financed reno and build budgets your pipeline leans on stay tight. Don't quote on a cut that might not come.
→ But the government just broke ground on 519 homes in Sydney (401 social, $6.6bn program). Steady, milestone-paid subbie work that doesn't care what the RBA does — get on the lists now.
→ 🔥 On our own lead board, enquiries cooled ~18% this week — but bathrooms and tiling didn't budge, now ~30% of the whole board.

When it's tightening, go where it isn't.

Getting undercut? You might be handing them the reason. 👀

Most tradies rock up to a site visit and treat it like an inspection. Look at the job, take some measurements, send a number.

That's exactly what the other four blokes did. So now you're just another quote on the kitchen table — and the only thing left to compare is price.

Don't be another tradie.

Ask different questions. Find out what's actually bothering them. Go there to solve the problem, not to measure it.

Do that and you're not in the price race anymore. 🍈

What's the one question you always ask on site? 👇

Diesel's up 19 cents a litre. And it's only half done. 🛢️

Your Rundown for the week 👇
→ Diesel +19.1c/L since 30 June. Every job you quoted in June is underwater on travel — add a travel line and re-price anything still open.
→ Use labour hire? The penalty for an unlicensed provider lands on YOU, the host. Up to $660,000. Checking their licence takes 2 minutes.
→ Queensland just put $146m of pipes in the ground, unlocking 18,900 more homes on the Gold Coast.
→ 🔥 On our own lead board, bathroom and tiling jobs just DOUBLED — and the roofing surge we called last week has already cooled 35%.

Plug the leaks, then chase the work.

Part 3/3 — We could've had 100,000 clients. We said no. 🍈

We could've signed 100,000 tradies in our first year. Easy. Just pump leads and take the money.

But picture it — 100,000 blokes with a phone full of leads and no clue how to close them. Every one of them saying the same thing: "Rockmelon didn't help me. The leads were s*t. They were all tyre kickers."*

The truth? The leads were fine. They just never asked for the sale.

That's why we've got 50 clients instead of 100,000. And why ours close at 30%.

Reckon your leads are the problem? Might not be the leads. 👇
