Want more work?
Given the National skills shortage in the building and construction industry across the country it is a fact that most builders and tradespeople believe they don't need to advertise.
Would you be interested in a $10K or $100K job within 5km from home?
If the answer is "yes" then we invite you to read on. BANGitUP Trade Select aims to only deliver the type of job leads you want.
A major benefit of the service is that you only spend time replying to the jobs you're interested in (takes less than five seconds to SMS reply) - no more having to make 10 phone calls or time reading emails when you get home only to then find out you're not interested in any of them.
Note: Paid members get the customers contact details and can follow up instantly.
What is Trade Select?
- Is the smartest advertising/ job lead system for builders and tradesmen.
- Is NOT a basic dumb directory type service but a far more advanced (but easier and far more responsive) instant job messaging system. The best metaphor is that it is a bit like a taxi booking system for builders and trades. You're not competing against ten/ hundreds of other builders and trades per job.
- Very easy to use - no computers necessary.
- Is accountable - has a performance guarantee.
- Has thousands of satisfied builders and trades on the service across the country.
- Has thousands of satisfied customers who now only use Trade Select to find builders and tradesmen.
- Has been featured on Seven Sunrise, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Age, building industry publications such as Building, Plumbing and Electrical Connections Magazine, numerous radio stations plus a heap of other publications.
Advertising Rip Offs
In developing the service it is also important to understand why Trade Select was developed.
- Developed by builders and tradesmen for builders and tradesmen who we were -
- disgusted at the advertising ripp offs and the lack of advertising accountabilty
- frustrated at the inefficiency of trawling through both print and online directories to find someone.
- tired of slack and unprofessional builders and trades giving the whole industry a bad name.
System Development and performance
- Over three years of continuous software development.
- Using Trade Select the average time to find any tradesmen anywhere in the country is three minutes.
- Over 25% of Trade Select users are from the building industry - that's the best endorsement we can ask for.
- Obviously some trades and regions may be harder than others but the system will keep polling under we get a result or exhaust the search. In 87% of cases we find a builder or tradesmen within 24 hours.
- Currently processing in excess of $20m in job values through the service per month.
A builders or trades perspective
From a builders or trades perspective - the key requirement for the service is
- accountabily - giving you the type of leads you want and the ability to instantly review.
- transparency - what you see if what you get.
- performance guarantee (see below)
- veracity - all jobs have to be confirmed by the customer - this greatly reduces job request fraud.
- easy of use - all you need is a standard mobile phone.
Accountability
You only pay for the type of job leads you want.
- When you register we build your profile based upon -
- The trades you do (there are over 650 trade categories)
- The contract values you are interested in (from small jobs to project over $20m)
- Where you live and how far you are prepared to travel for both small and big jobs
- The system then calculates how many job leads we can guarantee to deliver, it considers -
- How much activity we've had in your region that matches your profile (we can send you a list of latest jobs which match your profile)
- How many existing paying members (your competition) we already have on the service.
- Based on the calculation we can then provide an number of different options.
