Roll call! Meet & introduce yourself to other Service-based Skilled Trade pros

If you’ve ever thought, “How are other businesses like mine handling this?” you’re in the right place!

This space is for Service-Based Skilled Trades pros to connect, compare notes, and talk shop with others who understand the day-to-day realities of running your type of business.

👋 Introduce Yourself

Drop a comment and tell us:

  • Your name
  • Business name
  • Industry
  • Years in business
  • Location (City/State/Province)
  • Let us know if you’re joining us for LIVE networking on March 17 (more details below)

The more context you share, the better connections you’ll make. 🙌

Pro tip: Search your city or state in the forum to easily find other pros in your area.

📅 Want to connect LIVE?

We’re running a pilot to host virtual weekly LIVE Industry Networking starting on March 17, running until April 7. If you’d be interested in joining for the first or following sessions (don’t need to commit to all but you're welcome to join!), make sure to let us know in the comments.

🤝 Culture of this space

Think of this forum board like a room full of peers who understand your world.

Share what’s working. Ask real questions. Talk through challenges.

The goal is to power your success and raise the standard of home service industries together. 

💬 Looking for conversation starters?

This space works best when conversations are industry-specific and experience-based. You might jump in with something like:

  • “How are other [your industry] pros pricing this service right now?”
  • “Is anyone else seeing this shift in their market?”
  • “What’s been working for you when it comes to ____?”
🤔 Why are industries grouped together?

We’ve intentionally clustered similar industries to keep conversations active and relevant. These groupings reflect shared business models, operational challenges, and pricing conversations so you can learn from peers who “get it,” even if they’re not in your exact trade.

If your question applies to all home service businesses, feel free to post in our broader forum boards.

Pro tip: Check out the industry tags to get even more specific

Looking forward to seeing this space come to life. 🚀

  • 👋 Hi everyone, I'm Alfred, owner of Al's Handyman Services, LLC in Riverview, Florida.

    I moved to Florida with a truck, some tools, and a goal of building something from the ground up. Today I help homeowners with repairs, installations, and property improvement projects throughout the Tampa Bay area.

    Most of my business has been built the old-fashioned way, hard work, referrals, repeat customers, and word of mouth. I'm always looking to learn, improve, and connect with other business owners who take pride in their craft.

    🚀 Excited to connect with everyone and learn from other pros.
