<h4><span style="color:#d4d4d4">Our home is our castle, as with any castle we should make it as safe as we can for us and our loved ones, the number one </span><span style="color:#d4d4d4">reported concern for homeowners when talking about feeling protected and being safe in their home, was the risk of burglary. </span></h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4><span style="color:#d4d4d4">The Office for National Statistics provided a report into various types of crime for The Crime in England and Wales Commission. </span><span style="color:#d4d4d4">The report stated that the number of reported residential burglaries in 2019 stood at 417,416, which is represents a relative 4% drop year on year.</span></h4>

<h1><strong>Essential Things to Consider when Finding and Hiring a Builder</strong></h1>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h1><strong>Looking For a Builder</strong></h1>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Why to use a find a builder digital customer realtionship management website like https://billntrade.com?</h3>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h1><strong>What is the Difference Between a Lead Referral Site and a Customer Relationship Managment Site</strong></h1>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>Lead referral sites charge builders, to have access to quotes, like a broker, which does not mean they get the contract or the best builder for the job is selected for the lead, or the lead can be auctioned to get the highest price for builders who will pay more as they need the jobs. This is a &#39;Formula For Failure&#39; (FFF) model that lead generation sites use and both customers and businesses lose, out.</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>A CRM like https://billntrade.com enables builders to access customers directly using technology like chat, digital documents, images etc, from quote requests customers send This not only standardises and simplifies the information required to create a deep dive, but reduces the friction in the CRM process, as well as the time to close as many quotes can be evaluate quickly by a business. This also reduces non value add steps and costs, in expoloration, trying to get to the substance, vetting etc, the time to close is reduced by upto 90% as trade si not having to deal with time wasters, they can follow up and progress as the data supports.</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>More importantly, it creates an organic exeperience as customers,use technology to access their trades, and this creates a sense of trust and depndedability and the knowledge they can pick up a deivce and send a quick chat, or complete, a document, or add a note plus many other value add features they may chose to use on the move or at home.<strong> </strong></h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>It goes further in how to manage jobs, or projects&nbsp; in an end to end a connected way of working. With both parties able to use features like calender, chat, and images the access and speed of relevant information shared, is immediate further optimising and reducing the time to delivery (saving time and money) and improving the clarity of solutionsas to reduce the ambiguity, communication breakdown, confusion that a broker as 3rd party will routinely introduce.</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>lFrom first ocontact to handover, CRM like https://billntrade.com support the collaborative process in digital environment, (CPIDE). Where the CRM makes service and customer relationship managment a part of an enabling framework of good governance and appraoch to managing projects with professional engineers and parties, who need this quickly and in lightweight way to be reposnsivle for high value delivery of infrastructure or jobs in a robust way, and a way that is scaleable, measureable, and simple for all business sizes.</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h1><strong>Expertise</strong></h1>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>You will get many contractors in one place. It is therefore better and easier to compare them easily.</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h1><strong>Competition</strong></h1>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>When more than one builder is actively trying to attract you, they often brings out the best in themselves. Only the best thrive in such an environment.</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>what does seem important is using <a class="billntrade" href="https://billntrade.com">billntrade.com</a> a digital CRM connecting builders and customers, online.</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h1><strong>Vetting</strong></h1>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>The referral website should allow listings of qualified, licensed, and Reputable builders only. How you can do this is by reading a builder referral website policies and seeing exactly what they offer, and what that means for you as a customer?</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h1><strong>Paid vs. Unpaid Solutions: An Expression of Interest and Request for Proposals </strong></h1>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>If a builder has to pay for every RFQ&nbsp; (Request for Quote) from customer, via a borker manual website, some will choose not to respond to jobs they think are not high value enough. This means that customers may struggle to get a builder for a small task, using a professional platform like https://bllntrade.co allows many builders access to quotes without the per quote referral costs and quicly having a distributed marketplac, more trades can appraoch customers to work on jobs, which makes the opportunity for mutual win possible, as customers get more options and trades get access to work that fits their requirements.</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>https://billntrade.com using digital to to put our customers and traders in the best place to do business and access work opportunites, in a way no other business does by directly contact using structured cadence of communcation and best ways of managing jobs collaboratively, and finally managing payment and business success vision goals in a single place.</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h1><strong>Pick a Referral Website that Does Not Charge per RFQ</strong></h1>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>Why? a cost per referral can quickly allow you to cannibalise the revenue vs. winining a quote. This means, that if you pat &pound;15.00 a quote, imagine you, lose 10, That means &pound;150 lost, in qulaifiying a client to convert.</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>So! when you do get a conversion to contract, 1 x job, lets say it&#39;s &pound;300 for 2 hours work plus matrials, you have to subtract the loss of &pound;150 from this job, for all the non win&#39;s, and this leaves you with &pound;150.</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>This is margin squeezing, which means, the job is in real terms a loss to you as a trade.</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h3><br />
<br />
<strong>This may lead you:</strong></h3>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4><br />
<strong>(1) Overcharge the job, meaning the customer won&#39;t offer repeat business as the overpriced charge is not justified</strong></h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4><strong>(2) Cheap out on the job, meaning the reputation of your business is at risk</strong></h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4><strong>(3) Doing the job, but then overpricing every other job</strong></h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4><strong>(4) Paying more to broker for a discount on leads, or paying more to be given the leads, also more expensive.</strong></h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4><br />
<span style="color:#c0392b"><strong>As you can see there is no benefit to this process or setup for the trades.</strong></span></h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h1><strong>6.0 Allowing Multiple Builder Trades or Not</strong></h1>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>A referral site allows multiple trades, you can get a general contractor on the platform. General contractors and large firms can have an advantage when doing complex projects. You want a referral site that does not require traders to sign up for multiple accounts to list different trades.</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h1><strong>Preferred Builder</strong></h1>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>If you scan through local builders&#39; profiles and decide to work with a specific one, you should be able to RFQ jobs from them. Some referral sites do not allow that because sometimes they hide leads from some traders. Especially those not paying higher per quote fees. Find your preferred builder through billntrade.com as a referral site that prides itself on allowing you to pick your desired builders and request a quote, or them to quote to you for work you need, we do this value piece without charging them for working on quotes or trying to win quotes this is part of a healthy way to use digital to help the hard working professional builders in the trade.</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h1><strong>What about Sold Leads?</strong></h1>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>Once you visit a referral website, you are recognized as a lead. Some will allow you to post a job on the board. The site determines who will see that post. Always check if the referral site for builders is selling leads. If it is selling leads, it means it will most likely sell it to the builder of choice, or whoever is willing to buy the lead at the highest price, this is not necessarily the most qualified, experienced, or appropriate builder.</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h1><strong>What About Limiting the Number of Builders per Location?</strong></h1>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<h4>While it is good for builders, it is not good for you as a customer. Limiting the number of builders means that you will not have a variety to choose from. There is little competition, and therefore prices can be go unchecked and be artificially high due to lack of competition, this would not be fair to allow monopolization of a post codes or geography by a few working to keep prices high.</h4>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
