A friend of mine, Anton Oliver, just gave away the framework behind something pretty wild.

He lost 100% of his coaching income overnight in the pandemic in 2020, rebuilt with a new model, and now works under 15 hours a week, earning double what he did working 65 hours a week.

He's written it all into a free book, no catch.

Worth a read, It will make an huge difference if you're a coach, consultant or business owner: Download it here

If you are a business coach, then this E-book is for you. This book explains the framework of how you can transition from an unscalable one to one model to a one to many coaching practice. This is how you will multiply your Impact, Reach and Income.

AI calls are on the increase, what are your thoughts when you receive an AI phone call?

15/04/2026

UK trades are missing up to 60% of their calls.

10 calls a day?

That’s 5-6 jobs… gone.

Every. Single. Day.

That’s not a lead problem.

That’s a missed opportunity problem.

Ready to stop losing work?

Drop me a message and let’s fix it.

How many times have you called a lead and they have no idea that they enquired?

If you’re spending your evenings returning missed calls…

Most small service businesses don’t realise how expensive interruptions are.

The phone rings.
Someone stops what they’re doing.
A client job gets paused.

The call lasts 3 minutes.

The disruption lasts 20.

Multiply that across a week…

Now your team are constantly switching between:
• delivering client work
• answering enquiries
• checking emails
• booking meetings

And nothing gets done properly.

Deep work disappears.

Productivity drops.

Deadlines creep closer.

Ironically, the very thing that’s meant to help you grow…

Your enquiries…

Becomes the thing that slows your team down.

Because nobody actually owns the leads.

They just get dealt with by whoever picks up.

Growing businesses don’t remove leads.

They remove the distraction of managing them.

Let your team do the work they’re paid to do.

Let someone else handle the incoming.

Most trades don't have a marketing problem...

They have a missed call problem.

Marketing agencies are brilliant at generating leads but there’s a problem nobody likes talking about.

Most leads don’t get handled properly.

A form gets submitted. Nobody calls for two days.
A phone call comes in. The client is busy.
An enquiry arrives at 7pm. Nobody responds.

And suddenly the agency’s “bad leads".

But were they bad or were they just handled badly?

Speed matters more than most people realise. The first business to respond usually wins the job.

Not the best.

The fastest.

Which means the real gap in most campaigns isn’t the ads.

It’s what happens after the lead arrives.

The best-performing agencies understand this.

They don’t just generate leads.

They make sure someone owns them.

Because great marketing shouldn’t stop at the enquiry.

It should end with a booked appointment.

Trades lose more work from missed calls than bad marketing.

You’re on the tools.

The phone rings.

You can’t answer.

You finish the job an hour later.

You call back.

They’ve already booked someone else.

It happens every day.

And most trades don’t even realise how much work they’re losing.

One missed call might be:

• a £500 job
• a £2,000 install
• a £10,000 project

Not because you weren’t good enough.

Because you were busy doing the work.

That’s the problem with running a growing trade business.

You’re expected to:

• do the work
• quote the jobs
• answer the phone
• reply to enquiries
• organise the diary

All at the same time.

Eventually something slips. Usually the calls and every missed call is a job for someone else.

The businesses that grow fastest don’t work harder.

They make sure every lead gets handled.

Even when they’re on the tools.
