Interesting reading about ways to bring in work. Have any of you guys found half decent website based work? Ive been buying leads on Rated People for just over 1 month and although ive had 4 jobs and 3 good ratings the last 4 leads i purchased were a waste of money as the "customer" wants a cheap quote and some of them dont really want the work done?
Got my own back on RP today as i rated their service and gave them 3 out of 10! Which i felt was about right.
Has anyone used Service Magic or Trust a Trader? I would be interested to hear of any similar experiences from other electricians.

Not used any of them. But, someone on here a few weeks ago was saying that one of these websites doesn't hold your personal details very securely...can't remember which out of them 3 it was - but apparantly, anyone can ring up pretending to be you and get whatever they want.

Not had any experience personally but from what i've heard....be very careful.

It was Rated people.com. I am with them for another month, then im sacking it!!!
 
Do not whatever you do sign up with service magic, I was with them for about 8 months, felt obliged to stay because of the 40 quid joining fee! But after being charged 24 quid last month for a job I didn't even get and 18 quid for another one the month before, I rung them up and told them where to shove it.
You pay the joining fee and then tell them what kind of jobs u want to be sent and how far you want to travel etc. Then they txt and email the jobs 2 u. Then for every job they send u they charge u. I think i was charged about 8 quid for a lighting fault but a rewire was around 30 quid!! Not so bad if u get the job but they send the same job to four different tradesmen in the same area so only a 1 in 4 chance of getting it!! The only winners here are service magic!!!
