For Handymen

More jobs means
more missed calls.

A handyman does five jobs in the time a roofer does one. Five times the customers, five times the inquiries, and the same one phone — which is in your pocket, under a workbench, with a drill running.

Bunch of small stuff — shelves, a door that won’t close, leaky tap. You do that?

Half day — four small jobs — 8:30am Friday

The drill was running and the phone was in the toolbag. Four little jobs in one visit.

The gap

The job is short. The phone still rings.

Handyman work is high-volume and low-ticket, which means the phone rings far more often per dollar earned than it does in any other trade. You can't stop a two-hour job to take a call about next week's two-hour job.

And handyman inquiries are the easiest in the world to give up on. There's always another guy with a van, and the caller has no loyalty yet because you've never done anything for them.

Why it matters here

Three things specific to your trade.

Small jobs turn into standing customers

Someone who books you for a shelf calls you for the deck next spring. The first job barely pays — the relationship does. Missing that first call costs you every job after it.

Nobody rings a handyman twice

There's no shortage of alternatives and no urgency to wait for you. A caller who reaches voicemail moves to the next listing within a minute, and you never find out it happened.

Reviews decide who gets let in the door

You're a stranger asking to work inside someone's home for an afternoon. Volume of recent reviews does more for booking rates than any list of services on your website.

Straight answer

I don't filter your reviews.

Some companies selling this will offer to screen your reviews — catch the unhappy ones before they reach Google. I don't, because Google prohibits it and it's your listing that gets suspended, not the vendor's.

The system asks every customer instead, right after the job. Most of your customers are happy, so that still lands most businesses in the high fours — the problem was never bad reviews, it was that nobody was asking. More on that here.

Questions

The one handymen always ask.

My jobs are small. Is $397 a month worth it?

That's the right question to ask. It works out to roughly one recovered job a month for most handymen — and because your work is repeat business, the customer you keep is worth several jobs, not one. If the inquiries aren't there to begin with, I'll tell you on the call rather than take your money.

How long until it's live?

Usually one to two weeks from approval. Text messaging carriers require a registration step for business numbers that takes several business days, and I start it the day you sign. Your website goes live regardless — only the texting waits.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Month to month, cancel whenever with an email. The website is licensed to you while you're a subscriber rather than sold to you — that's what makes $397 with no setup fee possible — but your domain and your customer data are yours and come with you either way.

See your website before you pay for it.

Fifteen minutes on the phone, then I build it. You decide once it's in front of you — nothing to pay before that.
