A coach tells you what to do. BizEdge just does it.
Tradie business coaches run $1,000 to $2,500 a month, and the homework is still yours: reply faster, follow up, chase the ones that got away. BizEdge does the first one for you, automatically, from $39/mo + GST, while you stay on the tools.
Sound familiar?
None of that is a skills problem. It's an hours problem. A coach hands you more to do about it. BizEdge just does it for you.
What you pay, what you get, who does the work.
No dig at coaches, a good one earns it (more on that below). But if what you keep paying for is the marketing to-do list, compare what each dollar buys.
| The job | A business coach | BizEdge |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay | $1,000 to $2,500 a month, most programs | From $39/mo + GST, month to month |
| What you get | Advice and homework | One job off your list, done automatically |
| Who does the work | You do, nights and weekends | Nobody. It runs off your own phone line |
| The call you missed at 10am | “Reply within the hour, speed wins jobs” | Texted back in seconds, with your name and business |
| Who rang and what they want | Gone, unless they left a voicemail | One text and an email to you, with what they said |
| Their reply | Your problem to chase | In your Text-Back Inbox, ready to text back |
| What you have to do | A strategy session and a to-do list | Dial a few codes on your phone. Once |
| When you start paying | Up front, usually a term at a time | The day it catches your first missed call |
| Lock-in | Often a 6 to 12 month commitment | Month to month, cancel any time |

What BizEdge actually is, in four straight answers.
Tradies with no one in the office.
Sparkies, plumbers, chippies, scaffolders, landscapers, painters, mobile mechanics. You're on the tools all day, the work comes from Google, word of mouth and repeat customers. If you've already got an office manager and a marketing agency, you don't need us.
The one job you'd give an office person.
It answers the phone when you can't. Your unanswered calls forward to your BizEdge number, the caller gets one text back in seconds with your name and your business, and you get one text with what they said. That is the whole product, and it is the reason you stop losing jobs at 10am on a Tuesday.
Things you can count.
Every missed call texted back. One text and an email to you for each one, with the caller's number and what they said, whether or not they leave a voicemail. Every reply in your Text-Back Inbox. A plain log of the lot, so at the end of the month you can count the calls that would otherwise have been silence.
Nobody who rings you gets silence.
You stop finding out about jobs the night you ring back and hear “thanks mate, we've got someone coming tomorrow”. No homework after dinner, no dashboard to drive. You stay on the tools and the phone stops costing you work.
When a coach is worth it
A good coach earns the fee when the problem is direction: pricing, hiring, leadership, which work to say no to. If that's where you're stuck, get the coach. But if what you keep paying to hear is “reply faster, don't let them go cold”, you don't need more advice. You need it done.
And if you've got a coach you rate, keep them. Tell them the missed calls are handled, and spend your sessions on the big stuff. BizEdge is the doing that makes that one piece of advice actually happen.
Straight answers
Is BizEdge a business coach?
No. A coach teaches you how to grow the business. BizEdge does one specific job for you: every call you can't pick up gets a text back. Advice versus done. They stack fine if you want both.
Do I have to learn software?
No. You key a few standard codes into your own phone, once, and that's the setup. There's a page you can look at to see the calls it caught, and nothing falls over if you never open it.
I've already got a website.
Good. This has nothing to do with your website. It runs off your phone number, so the calls it catches are the ones ringing out today, whether your site is brand new or fifteen years old.
What's the catch?
Month to month, cancel any time. Billing starts the day your first missed call gets a text back. If we can't get you set up, you pay nothing. If we ever take longer than 10 seconds to text a forwarded caller, just let us know and we'll credit you that day's fee. Full conditions are in our terms. The honest catch: we're new, and we're still earning our case studies, so we'd rather you ring the demo number and see it work than take our word for it. And it does one job. It won't build you a website or run your marketing.
Don't take our word for it.
Ring the demo number from your own mobile. It answers and the text arrives in seconds. The text that lands is the same one your callers would get, sent by the same system. That is the whole product, and it takes ten seconds to check. Then have a look at the price.
