generate work FROM THE FORUM !!!!

[SimonG]

but surely they are posting the job on this forum because they want a trusted plumber so will only take the ones you advise

Very good point, the fact they have posted on here would mean they are wanting to remove the element of 'pot luck' and take the recommendations on board. The biggest comment I come across is that 'I'm new to the area and don't know who to use'. I'm doing one job at the minute where she wanted an electrical check and the full house decorating but didn't know who to use. Gave her the numbers of two good lads and hey presto they're in doing the work.

How are we going to handle complaints? and I'm thinking along the lines of the cust that won't ever be happy!

 

[mikegas]

or would they go with the cheapest option from the dog walkers,paperboys mate who did a two week super fast track course ?

haha i would like to think not, i dont think the majority of people would, even if they did they would be back for a repair :smiley2:

complaints ? more like thank you presents , we just put some sort of disclaimer togther stating its between them and the engineer were just introducing the 2

I was thinking more along the lines about the cust that would whinge for england if somebody turned up two minutes late. But yes, nice disclaimer would cover it.

good stuff! sounds like we're really making some progress. hopefully it should be up and running this week

 

[leelister6]

I suppose this could also be a good way to warn tradesmen of rogue customers i.e. bad payers and the like. Say if someone does a job for Mr Smith in Doncaster and gets ripped off, he goes on a blacklist and we can check on the list before responding to any jobs. We could incorporate the tilers and sparkies forums and the other ones so everyone is less likely to get goosed!

 

[PlumbBobBob]

thats a good idea lee people are always saying on here that we should have a rogue customer section.

 

[REDSAW]

good ideas lads keep em comming your ideas are being noted.

proof of qualifications and p.l insurance and a minimum posting level (say a 1000) i think will be essential imo.

what! not got a 1000 yet?. get posting then.lol.

 

[CES]

Well, by the time Ive got a 1000 posts the system should be well up and running with all the problems ironed out. lol

 

[Barry98]

Is got to get going .... There is thousands to be make for every one from visitors here

 

[REDSAW]

we have been looking initially at this for a few months now and we are working at it in the background.
on the 'other (secret) forum'
but we still need as much 'think tanking' to get it right whilst things are being set up, we are also considering taking on the 'big-uns' too.

keep your eyes open for the boiler forum.


ps. are we there yet?. are we nearly there yet?. lol.
