Here are our tips for winning the confidence of homeowners and for getting good reviews.<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Profile and Account Maintenance<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Clear profile image &#8211; This will help to convey professionalism<\/li>\n<li>Business description &#8211; Check this is reflective of your work. An accurate profile will help homeowners decide if they want to engage your services.<\/li>\n<li>Check your listed trades and locations are up to date and are relevant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Communication<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Spelling and language<\/strong> &#8211; Review your messages for mistakes before you send. Use tools like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/\">dictionary.com<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesaurus.com\/\">thesaurus.com<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grammarly.com\/\">Grammarly<\/a> is a tool that has a <a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/grammarly-for-chrome\/kbfnbcaeplbcioakkpcpgfkobkghlhen?hl=en-US\">browser extension<\/a>, that once installed onto your computer, can help track spelling and grammar as you type on the Builderscrack website.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Respond to homeowners quickly and clearly<\/strong> &#8211; Use the Builderscrack messenger to document conversations and simply outline project costs and timescales to help prevent misunderstandings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yea or nay?<\/strong> &#8211; Let homeowners know if you are not going to ahead with a job and use the drop job button on your job card.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Being a no-show<\/strong> &#8211; Disappearing may result in you getting a bad review and creates a perception of inefficiency; which can damage the reputation of the site and consequently the leads that come to it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Punctuality and timekeeping<\/strong> &#8211; Turn up to appointments on time, or manage homeowner expectations and notify them if you need to alter the time or reschedule. Polite communication goes a long way in this situation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Communication Reviews<\/strong> &#8211; A homeowner can still review you on your communication, even if you do not win the work. It helps to be attentive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Workmanship<\/h3>\n<p>Workmanship reviews. Homeowners base their reviews on <strong>Workmanship<\/strong>, <strong>Response,<\/strong> <strong>Professionalism<\/strong>, <strong>Cost<\/strong>, <strong>Schedule<\/strong>. Do the best work, within the agreed time and cost, in a professional manner and homeowners will be more likely to award a 5-star review.<\/p>\n<h3>TradeRank<\/h3>\n<p>As you know, not all leads are sent to all tradies. When we match tradies to a job, we\u2019re looking at what\u2019s required to complete the job and the TradeRank of our tradies.<\/p>\n<p>TradeRank is a measure which looks at things such as your how well you respond to job leads, the reviews provided by homeowners and if you pay invoices on time.<\/p>\n<p>Refining your profile and account, communications and quality of your workmanship, will also contribute to your TradeRank, and will affect the number of leads you receive.<\/p>\n<p>Give some of these tips a go and see what difference it can make to your business.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many factors that contribute towards how  &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":6049,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1021],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Get Great Reviews\u00a0and Win More Work: Top Tips<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/blog-for-tradespeople\/tips\/get-great-reviews-and-win-more-work-top-tips.html\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Get Great Reviews\u00a0and Win More Work: Top Tips\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"There are many factors that contribute towards how ...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/blog-for-tradespeople\/tips\/get-great-reviews-and-win-more-work-top-tips.html\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Builderscrack Blog - Home Repair &amp;
