For contractors who are tired of being the bottleneck
Your trade isn't the problem. The chaos is.
You're great at the work. But leads die in voicemail, estimates go out late, the crew waits on you, and you can't say which jobs actually made money. TradeScale installs the Core 10: one operating system that takes the chaos out of running a trade business.
Free. No call required. The scan starts the moment you ask.
Be honest. How many of these happened this month?
If you run a trade business, you already know this list.
- You've paid three marketing companies. You still can't name one job any of them produced.
- A homeowner called on Tuesday. Nobody called her back until Thursday. She hired the other guy on Wednesday.
- You price jobs on gut feel, and closeout is when you find out whether you made money.
- You're the salesman, the estimator, the dispatcher and the bookkeeper. Your last real day off was a long time ago.
- Your software doesn't talk to your other software, so your office manager is the integration.
- You turn down work because you can't find people, then the slow month hits anyway.
None of that is a you problem.
It's a systems problem.
An agency sells you clicks. Software sells you a login. A coach sells you a binder. You become the glue. TradeScale installs the whole machine.
The Core 10 Operating System
Ten systems. One machine. Built for the trades.
When they're connected, the business runs. When they're not, the owner does. Scroll through all ten.

Lead Engine
Own your local market on Google.
A homeowner two streets over just searched for exactly what you do. She called your competitor. You never knew she existed.

Follow-Up & Nurture
No lead goes cold again.
The lead came in at 4:52 on a Friday. By Monday she'd signed with someone who called back in five minutes.

Inbound Traffic
More of the right homeowners finding you.
Slow months aren't bad luck. They're what happens when every job depends on the phone ringing on its own.

Sales Conversion
Close more of the jobs you quote.
You quote it on a hunch, lose it on price, or win it and find out at closeout you didn't make a dime.
See how Core 4 works →Core 5 · Delivery
Financial Clarity
Know your numbers on every job.
You're busy. The bank account doesn't seem to know it.
See how Core 5 works →Core 6 · Delivery
Production Workflow
Jobs that run the same way every time.
Every job runs a little differently, and every difference costs you a callback, a day, or a customer.
See how Core 6 works →Core 7 · Delivery
Hiring & Labor
Find and keep good people.
You can sell more work than your crew can build. So you turn it down, or you take it and burn everyone out.
See how Core 7 works →Core 8 · Leadership
Branding & Differentiation
Look like the premium choice.
If you look like everyone else, the homeowner decides on the only thing left: price.
See how Core 8 works →Core 9 · Leadership
SOPs & QA
Quality you can measure.
Quality lives in your head. When you're not on the job, it shows.
See how Core 9 works →Core 10 · Leadership
Leadership Support
Run the company, not just the jobs.
You built a company to buy back your freedom. Right now it owns you.

The best contractors never bought their way to the top. They were introduced.
Relationships built at events, on job sites and across your town are still how great trade businesses grow. The architect drawing the addition. The agent selling the house. The lender financing the remodel. The inspector who just found the problem. They talk to your next customer before you ever do.
Most contractors leave that to luck and a handshake. TradeScale turns it into a referral engine that runs inside your CRM. Every introduction is tracked to the person who made it, credited the right way for their industry, and reported back, so your partners see what they sent and keep sending. The same goes for the trades you already work beside. Contractors who don't compete become each other's sales team.
- ■Built for the professions that already talk to homeowners
- ■Every referral tracked and credited automatically
- ■Partners see the results of every introduction
- ■Industry rules handled for you, from brokers to lenders
How it's wired is the part we show on a call.

Somewhere in your town, a homeowner just searched for you. Did she find you?
Most contractors have no idea. They see their own name when they search from their own office and assume they're fine. The map tells a different story two miles away.
The free Local Visibility Audit runs real Google searches across your whole service area and shows you, block by block, where you show up, where you disappear, and exactly who's getting the calls instead.
Why free? Because one look at your map says more than an hour of us talking.
✓ Real Google results
The exact searches your customers type, run from your service area. You see who comes up first, and whether it's you.
✓ Your coverage map
Then the same search from dozens of points across your towns, so you see block by block where you show up and where you vanish.
✓ Profile vs competitors
Your Google Business Profile next to the contractors taking your calls: reviews, categories, photos, activity.
✓ Every directory listing
Name, address and phone checked across the listings Google trusts. Mismatches quietly cost you rank.
✓ Reviews
Volume, velocity and replies, measured against the leader in your market.
✓ A fix list
What to fix first, in plain English. Yours to keep whether we work together or not.

Core 4 · Sales Conversion · Powered by CEPro
Stop guessing on estimates. Start closing them.
Two contractors quote the same job. One hands over a number scribbled after a walkthrough. The other presents a clear good, better, best estimate, built on real costs, before he leaves the driveway. Guess who gets the signature, and the margin.
CEPro estimating plus TradeScale sales playbooks turn every estimate into the second one.
How Sales Conversion works →How we work
Operators, not an agency. Here's the difference.
Closed jobs, not clicks
If it doesn't move your bottom line, we don't do it.
You own everything
Your accounts, your data, your assets. If you leave, it all goes with you.
Fix the leaks first
We fix tracking and follow-up before we scale spend. No water into a leaky bucket.
First click to final invoice
Marketing connected to sales, sales connected to production.
