Morning chaps
A local builder I do the odd plumbing job for said he used MyBuilder quite a bit to take on bits and pieces in quiet spots.
All you do is show interest in job leads that get posted - If the customer likes the look of your profile/reviews they shortlist you. Then you "should" get the chance to quote for the work... SHOULD...
Thought i'd give it a go - First job I was shortlisted for I won. Only a little £100 job but still £100 right?
I showed interest in several jobs last week - £15+ each for bathroom quotes x4. Contacted these 4 customers and booked appointments to go and quote. All 4 of these either told me they had found a plumber elsewhere or cancelled before I went round there!
How on earth can this be a genuine lead? MyBuilder say thats how it works but I'm not having it. Why should I pay £60+ for leads I haven't even been given the chance to quote for.
Had a few heated discussions with them and they say they won't refund the leads so looks like I stand to take a loss. Anyone else had any experiences with them? Not sure what would happen if I just refuse to pay the invoice for these leads?
Just wanted to give you guys a heads up, incase any of you were thinking of giving it a go.
Have a good day
