Hello, I'm sian
When I created a contract management programme for a multimillion-dollar business so it could outsource $80m of infrastructure and contract work, I realised my knowledge could powerfully transform businesses.
And when I started to tell my tradie friends about my methods, I found out they experienced the same issues faced by big corporations.
I kept meeting more and more tradies who were going round in circles with clients, chasing payments, feeling fed up with customers calling the shots on their payments and starting to think that getting paid on time, in-full and without hassles was nothing but a pipe dream.
So I started Tradie Terms® to apply my extensive experience to help independent trades business owners, who don’t have access to costly lawyers and legal experts day to day.
Now, Tradie Terms® has a proven track record for helping tradies get paid faster with practical, actionable training.
ARE YOU READY?
The sharpest tradies in the game are applying my Set Smart Payment Terms™ training to get paid more often, create satisfied clients and regain control of their cash flow. Are you ready to join them?
