Frequently Asked Questions
1. I'm a service contractor. Do I have to pay a membership fee to bid on jobs posted on getabidonit.com? |
|
Absolutely NOT... It is FREE to view all work postings and to ask questions. You only pay two dollars to send your bid on the job you select. |
2. Will the service providers/contractors be calling me for price quote appointments? |
|
NO, getabidonit.com was designed to avoid price quote appointments. |
3. If I post a job I think I need done, am I obligated to use one of the contractors who bid on my posting? |
|
Absolutely NOT… If you feel the price is not great, you’re not comfortable with the bidders' company profiles, or you simply change your mind, you have NO obligations. |
4. I am currently unemployed and need the work. I have many years of construction experience. May I bid on work, or is this only open for established companies? |
|
Yes, you sure can… Our web site’s #1 goal is to “get Americans back to work one small job at a time” but, please be aware that some job types require State provided license(s) and/or other local requirements. Please review your State and City websites for exact provisions and regulations. |
5. Is it really free to post work I need done? |
|
Yes, there is no charge to give a detailed description of the work you want done. You are also encouraged to upload four FREE pictures in order help bidders fully understand the work. If needed, you can purchase additional pictures for only $1 each, but this option is NOT required. |
6. As a professional service provider, how do your customers rate my services? |
|
Customers typically select service providers based on many variables. The lowest price is NOT the leading reason. Customers will study all the information provided on the FREE Business Profile Page. They notice important elements like; years of experience, your web site, accreditations, locally owned, community involvement, licenses, bonding, work example pictures and all other information you provide on your Business Profile Page. |
7. Why do I need to upload pictures on my posting if I explain my job well? |
|
It is an enormous help because pictures reinforce your explanation. No matter how detail your job description may be, job providers often look for other specific items/issues we seem to overlook. By including images, you also get a much better price estimate because job providers will typically expect, and price, the worst-case scenario if they do not fully comprehend what they may be working with. |
8. I am certain my team can perform the work on a posted job and I want to submit my bid, but why must I pay two dollars to send a work estimate? |
|
The small two dollar fee helps keep this website clear of fake price quotes. I am sure you can imagine the amount of fictitious and absurd price quotes the postings would get if this was a free-for-all? It would just make it too difficult for the true professionals to be recognized. We also make a small profit by charging only two dollars for providing job leads, but we also offer all job providers an opportunity to advertise their business’s accomplishments on our site via the FREE Business Profile Page (BPP). The BPP allows businesses to inform potential customers of all key attributes like; basic business contact information, years of experience, available website link, accreditations, community involvement, other provided services, 2 free pictures of work examples and any other notable accomplishments or referrals. |
9. I have a small home repair business and I am always looking for work. Why should I use this web-site? |
|
It is absolutely FREE to view the details on all job postings. It's also FREE to ask questions if you need any additional information on the specific job. By using this web site you avoid spending time and money driving around town or hiring additional sales people to find possible work because getabidoni.com brings the work to you. More and more, customers no longer have the time to set multiple sales appointments with Service Companies or Contractors on small jobs because getabidonit.com now provides the forum to easily post the work on-line. |
10. How does this process work once I post a job? |
|
We send your work posting to lots of businesses and service companies so they can bid on your posted work. Skilled unemployed construction workers can also view and bid on your posting by going on the website directly. Since your posting informs everyone what you need done, those who are interested in the work will click on the “Bid Now” button and place their best bid. Once they place a bid, an amount and the business’s name will appear on your posting. By clicking on the business name, you will see their business profile page, which includes; Company Name - Phone - Address - Company or Individual Owned - Year Established - Insured/Bonded - License Information - Website Link - Work Example Pictures - References and more... These businesses/individuals also have the opportunity to tell anything about themselves like community involvement, company slogans, customer satisfaction, work guarantees etc. You then can select and call the Company or Individual who you like the best because everyone who bids on your job will appear on the posting.
