Joining Rated People

Posted by Dan , on
Hi I'm a painter/decorator and Ive heard good and bad about rated people. I spoke to someone over the phone and it sounds promising. Would tradespeople who use this site recommend joining? Thanks.

Hi Dan Overall rated people isn't bad and you certainly get a return, they have a number of issues such as price consistency, and make sure you have everything in place if you need a refund. We use them for top up work, we would use them more but until they sort out the issues we won't sign up to any offers or use them as a major source of work Hope this helps

Hi dan it’s like most things you get out of it what you are prepared to put into it From my point of view the site has been very good for my business but it does take a little while to build things up I found it best to try and get a few small jobs to start with to get some good ratings quickly then it becomes easier to get some larger jobs You will get some time wasters but in general if you sell yourself correctly you should win about 1in3 of jobs that you purchase Good luck

Be prepared to be messed about as it’s a no charge to the customer . Remember it’s you ! That is funding it not them . You do rarely get good customers but not many . Tonnes of messers but that’s the public for you ! Having said that after a lot of wasted time and effort and frustration I have earned a steady income from it . The refund system is beyond infuriating. You will loose money but gain it back when you get a decent lead
