Some times you will only get one it goes to three but not all the time people will click on as most people go with first one and forget to take it off and trades men have to. Pay for every lead and some see one has paid for it and don't go on it I myself am a trades man on page and I don't click on a lead if some one has as you don't get your money back now
What was the job
Hi Frank, Rated People only sell your lead to a maximum of three tradesmen, however, as a tradesman myself, I only tend to buy leads that nobody else has bought yet- why give myself more competition than I need to? Please remember that we have to pay to contact you (£5-£60 depending on the job) so we all have to choose the leads we think we have a good chance of winning work from. Rated People themselves say we will win around 1 in 4 jobs we buy but in my experience it is more like 1 in 8 when you allow for those who just won't answer your calls or just want to get an idea of costs for a future project. If you post again, give a generous budget (I don't buy if I think there is a chance my quote will be bigger than the client's budget- you are starting off on a bad note) and give as much detail as you can so people have a better idea of what you want. Good luck, I hope you find a great tradesman and your build goes well, I hope this helps. Best wishes Mostafa Tavengar Bedford Building Maintenance
Hi Frank, Unfortunately, due to seasonality and availability, some jobs may not be initially bought by all three tradesmen. We would recommend updating your job with more information and/or an adjusted budget. Our handy FAQ will guide you through this: http://www.ratedpeople.com/c/help#no-tms-found. If updating your job doesn’t help, we would recommend asking our Expert tradesmen what more you can do (here: http://www.ratedpeople.com/diy-advice/) before posting your job at a later date. Best Wishes, Josh The Ask An Expert Team
