One of the main goals of Builderscrack is to connect you with people who are genuinely interested in getting work done.

We do the groundwork by sourcing homeowners, sending you leads and pitching your profile as soon as you’ve chased their job. Homeowners can speak with up to three tradies, and if you’re one of them, you’ve been granted contact. The ball is now in your court, so keep reading to find out how to win the work.

How Builderscrack markets your business

As your marketing tool that runs 24/7, we save you time and energy searching for potential clients who are ready to take action. Here are three ways we market your business.

1

We actively send you new opportunities based on your trades and locations

2

When you chase a lead, we send the client your profile and introduction note

3

We follow up with notifications to keep the job moving on both sides

Granted contact = the ball is in your court

You’ve written your introduction note, they’ve granted contact and replied, now the ball is in your court —follow up with the client promptly so that you can secure the job.

What if you work on the tools throughout the day?

Tradies that have success on our platform often send a quick message thanking the client for granting contact and confirm they will respond as soon as they’re finished up on the job.

How to stand out from the crowd

At this point, there could be two other tradespeople in contact with your potential client, so this is your chance to shine.

1. Make contact promptly

If the client has provided a phone number, don’t hesitate to get in touch straight away. If contact details are not available, send a message through our messaging system.

2. Personalise the experience

If you haven’t already, introduce yourself, your business, and your proposed next steps to solve their problem, whether it’s organising a site visit, ordering materials or providing a quote.

3. Approach with professionalism

Maintain a professional manner in all of your communications. If you don’t hear from the client straight away, rest assured that we send them email reminders to keep you top of mind.

What happens next?

Keep up the momentum by recording what you’ve discussed on the phone or in person, by entering it into your BC message thread. It’s a great way to keep track of who’s holding the ball. Keep reading for tips on quoting.

Step 6: Tips for quoting

Quoting is a crucial part of doing business. It’s not just about numbers; it’s also about creating a professional and transparent proposal that nudges clients to choose you for their job.
