You'll never have to miss any new work opportunities again.

Build your business

Once you have completed the basic registration, you'll have an opportunity to add more information to your profile. This may include information on qualifications, associations you are a member of, or testimonials you have from previous customers. The more information you add to your profile, the better your chances of turning more leads into jobs, gaining new customers and building your business.

Your skills, experience and qualifications

Try to include as much as you can about the range of skills you can offer, the experience you have, and how long you've been in business. You should also include any qualifications you have, any awards you've achieved or your membership of any trade organisations or bodies which show that you always work to high standards if you're a plumber or gas fitter, you should say if you are Gas Safe registered, for instance.

Provide competitive quotes

Make sure you give good prices. It's best to price your work quite keenly. Then the customer will more than likely give you more work in the future. In fact, it's better to do three or four competitively priced jobs for a customer than one big expensive job.

Do a great job

That's the easiest way to make your customers happy, get positive feedback and have more customers come to you in the future. We will ask all customers to provide feedback on your work allowing you to build a reputable business through xpertfind.com. We will ask them to rate you against some key criteria such as quality and price as well as any general comments. You and all future customers of yours will have visibility of this feedback.

Keep to a schedule

Give your customers a realistic schedule for the work you're going to do. Don't say you can do it quickly if there's a chance it might take longer. Customers would rather you do a good job than rush the work and produce unsatisfactory results. On the other hand, if you say a job will take four days and you do it in two, they may think the work isn't up to scratch.

Be reliable and punctual

There's nothing that customers dislike more than a tradesman who isn't reliable. So, if you say you're going to turn up at 9am, be there at 9am. If you have to miss a day on any job, tell the customer, so that they aren't waiting for you to turn up on that day!

Stay in regular contact

This links in to the point above. Communicate with your customers and tell them how the job is going and any problems or unforeseen circumstances that crop up. They'll appreciate it. After the job too, keep in touch and you might get more work from them.

Communicate with customers

Some tradesmen do tend to talk down to customers. Customers might not understand the technical terms, equipment or processes that are second nature to you, so take time to explain what you're doing in layman's terms and a customer will feel more comfortable having you in their home.
