Between call-outs, quoting, and managing jobs, it’s easy to get stuck in the day-to-day and forget about the bigger picture, growth. But if you want your business to bring in more leads, steady cash flow, and happy repeat customers, you need a plan. Here’s a simple **90-day roadmap** that breaks growth into three clear phases. Nothing fancy, just practical steps any plumber can follow to get results (Simpro Group, 2024; Whitley, 2023). ## Days 1–30: Get the Basics Right The first month is all about laying foundations and getting your name out there. - **Set your targets** – Know how much money you want to bring in and how many jobs you need each month (Profitable Tradie, 2017). - **Check your services and pricing** – Are you charging enough to cover costs and still make profit? Don’t undercut yourself just to get work (Simpro Group, 2024). - **Boost your online presence** – Update your Google Business Profile, refresh your website, and make sure your contact details are easy to find (Plumbing Webmasters, 2024). - **Tap into local channels** – Join community Facebook groups, connect with local real estate agents, and look at noticeboards where your customers hang out. - **Start tracking your customers** – Even a simple spreadsheet can help you see who’s booked, who’s paid, and who needs a follow-up (Simpro Group, 2024). 💡 *Pro tip:* The easier you are to find online, the faster the phone will ring. ## Days 31–60: Drive Growth and Work Smarter Now that the foundations are set, it’s time to push for more leads and smooth out how you run the business. - **Run local ads** – A small spend on Google or Facebook ads targeting your area can bring in quick calls (Plumbing Webmasters, 2024). - **Use software to save time** – Tools for quoting, invoicing, and communication keep everything in one place and stop things slipping through the cracks (Whitley, 2023). - **Reward your customers** – Offer a small discount or gift card for referrals, or encourage reviews with a simple thank-you (Smith.ai, 2023). - **Get the team on the same page** – Even if it’s just you and an apprentice, weekly check-ins help keep standards high and jobs running smoothly (Simpro Group, 2024). - **Keep an eye on costs** – Review your expenses each week to spot where money is leaking (Whitley, 2023). 💡 *Pro tip:* Make it easy for customers to pay on the spot. With **Nexxtap**, you can take tap-to-pay card payments directly on your phone, no extra hardware, no dongles, just a flat 1.25% fee. That means faster payments, better cash flow, and fewer unpaid invoices hanging over you. ## Days 61–90: Scale and Build Your Reputation In the final stretch, it’s time to grow your presence and strengthen your reputation. - **Partner up** – Connect with builders, property managers, or electricians for referrals. Tradies who work together, grow together (Plumbing Webmasters, 2024). - **Collect and use reviews** – Ask happy customers to leave reviews on Google or Facebook. Respond to every review, it shows you care (Simpro Group, 2024). - **Be part of the community** – Sponsor a local event, join a tradie expo, or put your logo on a footy team’s shirts. It all builds visibility (Whitley, 2023). - **Train your team to upsell** – For example, while fixing a tap, mention water-saving options or maintenance checks. Small upsells add up fast (Smith.ai, 2023). - **Review your results** – At the end of 90 days, check your leads, jobs, revenue, and costs. See what worked, what didn’t, and adjust your plan for the next quarter (Profitable Tradie, 2017). 💡 *Pro tip:* Growth doesn’t stop at 90 days, this is just your launch pad. Keep repeating the cycle, refining each time. ## Final Word Growing a plumbing business doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By breaking it into 30-day chunks, you’ll build strong foundations, attract new customers, and set yourself up for long-term success. And remember, little changes, like making it easier for customers to pay you on-site with Nexxtap, can make a huge difference to your cash flow and growth. So grab your tools, set your plan, and get ready to make the next 90 days count. ## References Plumbing Webmasters. (2024). *Expand my plumbing business*.
