I bet if I have said there will be no fees, all sarcasms would be dropped, you'd raise from the childish responses to manhood responses, huh?
Can we all just erase x% fees for now? Your minds are not seeing the website's model and how it
will (
not would) work. While I agree that customers do not normally know what they want, if when they do once the work has started they may want a change. I am not creating a website not know the ins and outs of this business. I was in it but with temp contracted work. I know what I want.
Normally when someone has an idea they expresses it with minimal and once we have an MVP (Minimal Valuable Product) we will show the world for better feedback. There, the idea can be scrapped or praised.
Things to note: The website will not have a registration button for subs, only for customers. Thanks to:
No I think I got it. You are planning to waste customers time and your own time by allowing the customer to select a budget that you then have to tell them is unrealistic. Why not have a system that allows them to pick what they want e.g. number of sockets, type, number of light fittings type, details about the house etc etc and then tells them a price range final price to be confirmed following contractor visit?
I shall create such website so that at the end, a set price is given. Either I have my own guys go out to finalize the work (pricing) then have a sub carry out the work. If you have missed it, once a price is given, on the website, the customer can
decline or
agree so once we visit, the work is already sure.
For the curious, I have put £50 on a google advert and I have gotten voicemail on my mobile phone for work. Work is out there you only need to know where and how to find it.
I could easily create a website that has electrician post their business etc, profile etc but too many out there. Since money is important let me clarify. There will be a fee taking from the net profit. A job cost £3000, materials and gas for £2000 (assuming here), I will take x% of £1000. So please stop singing on the 15%.
Before you visit the customer, you'll know what house type, inside of the house with pictures, videos, type of work needed, when to start, empty or occupied house/flat etc, materials needed, direction to, distance and travel time,
your money is sure.
How will I find these subs? I'll ask the mods on here to advertise then we will meet in person at your business and we take it from there. Since I live in Birmingham then a Birmingham sub will be needed first.
