I did the NETT course 18 mths ago after a lifetime in engineering and never looked back. Will never make a fortune but happy as a pig in Sh
effield!
'People skills' and s'trings to your bow' were the phrases that stood out for me. Did a plumbing course to get myself the basic qualifications (a bit pricey though) and got friendly with a few local tradesmen. I always tell customers if I can't do it I know a man who can. I am not the fastest
tiler by a long way, spend too much time gabbing to the customer but 75% of my work load is 'recomendation'. Do a good job, be friendly, and treat their house like it was your own. Nothing a customer likes more is when you whip your 'Henry' out!!
Happy Tiling
