As a contractor or trade expert, you’ve mastered skills that others are eager to learn. Beyond your day-to-day work, there’s an incredible opportunity to monetize your expertise by mentoring others. High-ticket training programs are one of the best ways to do this—they allow you to share your knowledge, build a strong network, and earn significant income by providing exclusive, personalized guidance.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to create and run a high-ticket training program for contractors and tradespeople, using Skool as the ultimate platform to host your courses, community, and mentorship sessions.

Why High-Ticket Mentorship Programs Work

High-ticket programs are about more than just teaching skills. They’re about offering transformation and access to your expertise. Here’s why they’re a win-win:

1. Deliver Big Results for Students

  • High-ticket programs attract serious, motivated learners who are ready to invest in their success.
  • By focusing on mentorship and real-world application, you help your students achieve tangible results.

2. Build Long-Term Relationships

  • These programs create close connections with your students, turning them into lifelong clients or collaborators.

3. Earn Significant Income

  • Fewer students paying higher fees = less stress, more impact.
  • A $5,000 program with 20 students generates $100,000 in revenue.

How to Create a High-Ticket Mentorship Program

Follow these steps to design a program that stands out and delivers real value:

Step 1: Define Your Niche and Audience

What specific expertise do you want to teach, and who will benefit most?
  • Niche Examples:
    • “How to Start and Scale a Contracting Business.”
    • “Advanced Carpentry for Custom Furniture Makers.”
    • “Mastering Plumbing for High-End Residential Projects.”
Focus on a narrow topic with clear, actionable outcomes.

Step 2: Identify the Transformation

High-ticket programs sell results, not just content. Define the transformation your program provides.
Example Transformation:
  • “Help aspiring contractors launch their first six-figure project within six months.”
  • “Teach journeyman carpenters how to land premium clients and increase their rates.”

Step 3: Structure Your Program

Your program should combine self-paced learning with personalized mentorship. Here’s a proven structure:
  1. On-Demand Course Content
      • Record video lessons covering foundational concepts.
      • Host these on Skool’s course platform for easy access.
  1. Live Mentorship Sessions
      • Offer weekly or bi-weekly group coaching calls via Zoom or another tool.
      • Address specific questions and challenges in real-time.
  1. Actionable Assignments
      • Provide tasks, templates, or frameworks students can apply to their own projects.
  1. Community Support
      • Use Skool’s community feature to create a forum for peer-to-peer support, Q&A, and sharing progress.

Step 4: Set Your Pricing

High-ticket programs typically range from $2,000 to $10,000 depending on the value you provide.
Factors to Consider:
  • The depth and exclusivity of your content.
  • The level of access students get to you (e.g., 1-on-1 coaching vs. group calls).
  • The results or transformation you promise.
Pro Tip: Start with a smaller group and offer beta pricing (e.g., $2,000–$3,000) to test demand and collect testimonials.

Step 5: Use Skool to Host Your Program

Skool’s features are tailor-made for high-ticket programs. Here’s how to leverage them:
Courses: Upload your on-demand video lessons and supplemental materials.
Community: Create a private, interactive group for your students to connect and get support.
Gamification: Use points and leaderboards to keep students engaged and motivated.
Membership Management: Charge one-time fees or recurring subscriptions effortlessly.

Step 6: Market Your Program

To attract the right students, focus on demonstrating the value and transformation your program offers.
Marketing Tips:
  1. Leverage Testimonials: Share success stories from past students or beta testers.
  1. Showcase Your Expertise: Post tips, case studies, or project breakdowns on social media.
  1. Create a Sales Page: Use compelling copy to explain the transformation, outline the curriculum, and include a clear call to action.
  1. Offer a Discovery Call: Speak directly with potential students to explain your program and ensure it’s a good fit.
