As the owner of Buy4Tradies, it’s up to me to earn your trust. Rightly so, everything starts with trust. If you’re considering joining our buying group, what you really want to know is whether you can depend on me to get you the best deals — and if you believe I have the credibility and competency to fulfill our commitment to you.

If I’m asking you to trust me, I’d like to explain why.

Trust me, here's why

Trust is the reason you’re going to be willing (or not) to join Buy4Tradies, as you consider whether a tradie buying group is for you. Here’s what I’d like to share with you.

Industry credibility.

I’m a plumber by trade who owned and operated multi award-winning trade business Dr.DRiP for more than 20 years, before selling it in late 2021.

I have a deep understanding of the trade industry landscape, including the bulls*t of rising expenses, which is making it more and more difficult for small- to medium-sized businesses to stay competitive with the “big guys”, who are able to throw their weight behind better pricing.

Suppliers know me. They know my track record. They trust me.

Tick of approval by tradies.

As the co-founder of Lifestyle Tradie, which provides business coaching for trade business owners, I work closely with electricians, plumbers, air-conditioning and solar technicians, builders, landscapers, painters, and more. By sharing tried-and-tested systems and strategies, we help them create the lifestyle and freedom they deserve.

I’ve got my ear to ground on all-things in trade.

The Trust Triangle

I love this Trust Triangle from the Harvard Business Review, which highlights the three drivers of trust: Logic. Authenticity. Empathy. I’d like to think they’re great pillars on which you can determine why you should trust myself and trust Buy4Tradies.

Logic.

Do you believe our team can get the best deals for you based on your reasoning and research around myself and Buy4Tradies?

Authenticity.

Do I come across as someone who calls a spade a spade, someone who is truly motivated to make a difference for trade business owners?

Empathy.

Do you get the feeling I can see things from your point of view and am genuinely interested in the success of each and every member of Buy4Tradies?
