The Nexstar Network, a member organisation that helps tradies grow their business through training, coaching and networking, has brought its courses to Australia.

Nexstar master trainer Bobby Hamilton brought the popular sewer sales and service system training to Wollongong and Sydney in an extended multi-company training venture from late September to early October.

Attendees included Curran Plumbing, J&T Dale Plumbing, Fluid Plumbing and the hosts of the training: Network Plumbing.

“Sewers in Australia are exactly the same as they are in the US,” Bobby says.

“The needs there are similar – you see the same issues with customers, technologies and pricing. Curran has placed a huge emphasis on company culture and employee satisfaction, and they’re doing a great job with recruiting young people. I was the oldest person in the room.”

Curran Plumbing service manager Sid Curran spoke highly of the event: “The training performed onsite was so beneficial, as we could have our entire company – installers, service techs and admin – participate.”

“This has helped bring our team closer together; Bobby empowered everyone. It’s helped us encourage team members to see their roles as careers rather than a job, giving them the ability to seek other roles and positions within the company.”
