How to Win More Jobs: Tip #2

So we already covered how providers can win more jobs by being quick to quote. While doing research on our user’s tendencies to book jobs, we discovered other factors that can help win more jobs. What’s another one of those factors? It seems like common sense. But a lot of our providers ignore this simple way to win prospective jobs… ENHANCE YOUR PROFILE!

When a customer is comparing providers, they’re looking at the quality of those professionals. Are they licensed? Do they have photos of past jobs? Do they have reviews? Is there a company logo or a personal photo of the professional?

All these things add up to paint a portrait of the person they’re planning on hiring to come to their home. So it’s important to fill out as much information as possible in your Redbeacon profile.

Imagine you’re a customer. Are you going to hire the plumber who’s job description says “I’m a plumber” and provides no photo that leaves the customer to imagine what you might look like?

Or are you more likely to hire the plumber who gives you some information about himself (or herself) and has a photo?

Sounds like a no brainer to us and unsurprisingly, our data backs it up.

Service providers on Redbeacon with full profiles win twice as many jobs as those that do not.

One of the most important elements of the profile are your reviews.  Most of the time our customers will base a decision on who to use on the past experiences of others.  Unlike some other sites out there, Redbeacon is all about solicited reviews!  If you go to a job, don’t be afraid to ask the customer to leave you a  rating and review on Redbeacon.  Better yet, ask them if you can take some photos of the job you just completed!  Then you can add those pictures to your Redbeacon profile.  The chances of you scheduling  your next job will greatly enhance if you leave your customer happy!

So if you’re submitting lots of quotes but not winning jobs, be sure to check out your profile and see if you’re missing any crucial information.  Like, a business name!    And if you need help with your profile, we Redbeacon Wizards are ready to help you out.  Just give us a call!
