Jack Lemon, Head of Tradespeople Marketing at Rated People, explains how the company can help your business thrive.
At a time when there’s high customer demand for tradespeople, you may wonder what an online marketplace has to offer. At Rated People, we’re in the business of lead generation for tradespeople but we know that it’s not just the amount of work that matters, it’s knowing that it’s the right work at the right time. Plus, there’s a lot more to running a successful business and enjoying doing it, than the number of customers you can line up.
Jobs waiting for you, when you want them
With 24/7 access to work opportunities and no shortlists, you’re fully in control of the jobs you choose to go after. You tell us what work you’re interested in and set your own filters, and we show you the jobs that match your criteria. That immediate access to new job opportunities means you don’t have to turn lots of work down or worry about where your next job will be when you’re busy.
We do your marketing so you can focus on doing your job
You don’t need to burn through your own hard-earned cash experimenting on channels that might not bring in the work that you’re looking for. We have the in-house expertise to do the marketing for your business. You’ll get your own profile page that does the same job as an SEO-optimised website, so you can build your reputation and secure new customers.
Build genuine ratings and reviews
Homeowner customers are encouraged to leave ratings and reviews for the tradespeople they’ve hired through the platform which helps you build your online reputation and is crucial to landing more work. With ratings and reviews tied back to individual job leads, it’s an honest way of gathering real feedback from real customers.
Get help with the admin
Admin is not the nicest part of the job and it’s easy to fall behind. You can organise your business from anywhere with Rated People’s free Trades app and benefit from features like a Lead Tracker to keep an eye on how different jobs are progressing both on and off the platform, and an invoice generator. It’s handy for helping get through the admin quicker so you can spend more time on the tools or with friends and family.
Drive down your business costs with offers and discounts
To help you run your business more efficiently, members on annual plans get access to Member Benefits Premium, a collection of over 250 offers and discounts on business and personal expenses. You can save over £3,000 annually with 6 of the leading benefits, including up to 20% off trade supplies and discounts on the seemingly ever-increasing price of fuel.
Exclusive insights to get your business thriving in 2022
With so much uncertainty over the past couple of years, we’ve all realised just how important it is to safeguard businesses. One of the ways you can do that is by seeking out new areas of opportunity. Our Rated People Home Improvement Trends Report is available for trades businesses like yours and it’s full of insights that help you identify those opportunities – whether that’s knowing what home improvements homeowners plan to spend the most money on in 2022 and what jobs are rising in popularity or benefitting from other tradespeople sharing how they’re responding to the increase in demand. We keep you up to date with all those must-have industry insights to benefit your business and give you an edge.
