Why the Right Leads Are More Valuable Than More Leads

By Ian Woodhouse – Tradie Growth Hub

In the last post, we looked at why most tradie businesses don’t need more leads — they need better systems.

But what happens once you’ve tightened up your quoting, follow-up, and cash flow — and you’re ready to grow?

That’s when the focus shifts from more leads to the right leads.

Why Quality Beats Quantity Every Time

Not all jobs are created equal. The wrong type of leads can keep you busy while quietly draining profit, energy, and your team’s time.

Here are the signs you need to shift from chasing numbers to targeting quality:

• You win plenty of jobs, but margins are thin.

• You’re working long hours, but cash flow still feels tight.

• You feel stuck doing “bread-and-butter” jobs instead of high-value work.

The Power of the Right Leads

When you start attracting the right type of clients, three things happen fast:

1️⃣ Higher Margins – Better jobs mean better profit without working longer.
2️⃣ Less Stress – Fewer problem clients and scope creep.
3️⃣ Room to Grow – You can choose jobs strategically instead of taking whatever comes.
