Why Do Consumers Come
Here? |
Why Do Contractors Come
Here? |
 |
Consumers realize that the best
way to find a contractor that
does good reliable work is to
ask a friend whom they would
recommend. Or is It?
|
Nothing beats word of mouth to find good
people, but are they by chance the pick of
the litter? Plus what do you do when you
need a plumber but none of your friends can
recommend one?
You can look in the Yellow Pages, or do some
searching online, but anyone can purchase
advertising. How do you know how reliable
they are, and most of all how do you know
you can trust them?
A lot of dot com referral sites have sprung
up, some of them pre-screen the contractors
for you, and analyze the results.
Others do not do any pre-screening, and
create a free for all environment resulting
in volumes of contractors making your phone
ring off of the wall. So how do you choose
which one is best? |
|
|
|
|
Contractors don't want
to waste a lot of
time advertising, and running dead end
leads. They would rather spend that time
on their customers jobs, and making a
living. |
|
And when they are busy
they don't want to be pestered by a lot of
inquiries from those they can't service now
anyhow.
They want to fill in the slow spots by
simply turning on the spigot. No having to
wait until the ad appears, or juggle
incoming advertising they have already paid
for while they are trying to get work done.

So What is The HandyBids
Difference?

So What is The HandyBids
Difference?

First Off We
Are Local
HandyBids was founded by a Delaware County resident
since 1955 who knows the area. You are not dealing with
a conglomerate that is several thousand miles away.
We Pre-Screen
We pre-screen but are honest about it. If you read
the fine print in the pre-screening sites, you realize
that screening is not an exact science. That is why we
not only pre-screen for job performance related data, we
have also teamed up as an affiliate with Experian, the
nations leading credit bureau, to inexpensively provide
contractor checks that you can do personally by simply
typing in a contractors name and service area. For less
than $10 you can screen any contractor you are
interested in, and for not much more, you can screen up
to 25 of them. Providing fast easy access to background
information that is up to date is much better than
relying on a company who may have pre-screened them 2
years ago when they signed up, and determined that some
blemishes on their record were not relevant, and their
approval decision is influenced by their motivation to
bring on another paid advertiser. That decision should
be left up to you.
We Pick the Cream of the Crop and Limit Who We Give Your
Contact Information To
|
The cream of the crop
are those who the most amount of people have chosen, after
comparing all of the competition, and then praised them with the
highest feedback. |
Instead of placing your job on a
free for all web site where just anybody who is a contractor can sign
up, get your contact information, and then clobber you with phone calls,
we limit our selection to the top 4. Our database is continually
selecting those from the HandyBids community that have the best
feedback, and specialize in performing the type of project that you
need..

Adjustable Bid Flow Preferences That
Works
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to turn
on and turn off your bid flow at any time, and have it stay that way until you
change it?
Or for those who have never used a bid quote screening
and referral service before, HandyBids is unique in that when you shut your bid
flow off, it stays off, and doesn't automatically restart after 2 weeks.
