Hi Dear members ,


I have a idea ,why dont the moderators crater some sort of page where potential customers to list a jobs they want done and all members from here by listing there location can go and visit jobs and take it on if customers agree on price , plus they can leave feed back for all of our services !


And after we get going we can sponsor the forum and get better and better


Please speak your mined and give ideas , I am starting my first job which I got from here
full install (boiler ,unvented , and 13 rads + first fix on bathroom and 2 showers )

will be nice to catch the POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY VISIT HERE !
 
good idea stan we do have the i need a plumber thread at the top of the general plumbing forum but i'm sure it could be expanded to be a proper work on offer page sort of thing
 
Not a bad idea. I get a little bit of work via the Sheffield forum but tend to get undercut from the handymen a lot of the time. Should be a more discerning customer base on here....... Hoteldave frinstance!!!
 
could also have another thread for loveslaves to find potential employers, I am considering getting another loveslave so I better notify A and E

Make a thread with like a list of locations e.g Wales- Swansea Cardiff etc all the major towns and people can go into that sub category then for choosing one in that area. 🙂 Obviously hyper linking the locations and that will take you to the list of plumbums
 
i dont like these kind of jobs TBH its like tenderrring , ive just been asked to do some big police stations in south/west yorkshire and althugh i know some pretty well 🙂 i havent bothered they want it for nothing then moan like the mess a snail leaves when it breaks down cos they have short arms and deep pockets
 
We have this on another forums and it does work well every now and again so I'm up for it if you lot are.

What we do on tilersforums is allow a thread to be posted, then a moderator will close the thread and respond to it and to contact the member via PM if they wish to enquire about it. We have to remove all personal contact details, because we had agencies touting for the work and taking over. Even one claiming to be us. So private messages via the forum helps us find and remove the dodgy agencies etc.

So we'd need a guy to manage that, and you guys would have to choose the guy. 🙂

Anybody up for that sort of role here? Clearly needs to be a regular.
The moderators here will choose the person. But if you have suggestions let us know. And if you're interested let me or the mods know.

I think it's a good thing. We are here to support the trader after all. So anything we do to get you guys some extra business we'll try to do. And things that cost nowt, we will do.

Thank you Dan

Next suggestion I have is the person who will be managing it to be getting small kick back from the person who is dong the job ,by doing it that way all will be happy !

Please guys if you are willing to take care of it we can make it work for us 🙂

and will be very good earner as there is no competition on the market for better forum

with such a good and clued up members .


I have another idea but will bring that one later on as we need to make this one work first !
 
i would like to take on the such likes of servicemagic, trustatrade and boilerguide but done without screwing the tradesman from non-existant work, followed up by a feedback from the customer.
sick and tired of these scroats taking advantage making money for nothing.imo.
 
so you thing it will not work ? it will as there will not be any one behind it just us ! and when any one gets job we just kick back the lad who will be running it !
well lets sea whet every one of the regular ones will say !
