About Trade Forge Network

Trades. Repeat Work. Sorted.

Most trades don't have a customer problem.

They have a follow-up problem.

You've got 50-100+ past customers sitting in your phone or your accounting system who would happily use you again. They just need a reminder you exist.

But you're too busy doing the actual work to follow up consistently.

That's what I do.


Why this service exists

I didn't build this from theory.

My partner is multi-trade, and a bunch of my close friends work across different trades - builders, sparkies, plumbers, landscapers, cleaning companies... that whole world.

Same pattern everywhere:

  • Good trades doing solid work

  • Flat-out on site

  • Past customers sitting there not being followed up with

  • Not because they don't want to - because there's no time

  • Losing £5-£15k+ in repeat work every year through lack of follow-up

I kept hearing: "I've been meaning to follow up my old customers for months."

But it never happened. Because when you're busy, it just doesn't get the attention it deserves.

That's where the Repeat Work Management System came from.

Not complicated software. Not business coaching.

Just a simple system that handles the planning and tracking, so you can bring past customers back in 5 minutes a week.


What the Repeat Work Management System does

Simple:

We do 90% of the work:

  • Organise your customer list into a tracker

  • Write personalised follow-up messages (sounds like you)

  • Send you Monday plans with 5-6 customers + exact messages

  • Track all responses

  • Send Friday updates on who responded and jobs booked

You do 10% of the work:

  • Monday morning: send 5-6 messages from your phone (5 minutes)

  • Forward us any responses

  • Handle bookings as normal

That's it.

20-30% of past customers respond when followed up systematically. Even if only 10% book, that's 1-2 extra jobs per month you didn't have to find.


How it works

Straightforward:

  1. Quick chat (15 minutes) - make sure it's right for your business.

  2. Setup call (15 minutes) - get your customer list, understand your business.

  3. Following Monday - first batch of messages ready to send

From "I should do this" to actually doing it in one week.

No CRM to learn. No complicated system. Just copy, paste, send.


Who this is for

The Repeat Work Management System works best if you:

✅ Have 50+ past customers you haven't followed up with

✅ Your customers were generally happy with your work

✅ Are too busy to chase them yourself consistently

✅ Want more work without spending hours on it

✅ Can spare 5 minutes on Mondays

It's not right if you:

❌ Don't have past customers yet (brand new business)

❌ Already have a solid follow-up system running

❌ Can't commit to 5 minutes every Monday


What you won't get

Just so it's clear:

  • This isn't a template you implement yourself

  • I don't just give you a spreadsheet and wish you luck

  • This isn't "business coaching" or theory

  • I'm not taking over your business or calling customers for you

I do the planning, tracking and admin. You send the messages. That's the system.

Simple. Practical. Works.

Lex Clarke, founder of Trade Forge Network

Hey, I'm Lex...

I built this because I was tired of watching good trades lose work through lack of follow-up.

Not complicated systems.

Not theory.

Just something that actually works for people who are flat out.

If you've got past customers gathering dust, let's sort it.
