| Since the basic listing service is free - if
a contractor or handyman is not listed, it may
be a good indication that they have too much
work - or can't stand up to the review of the
customers.
In any case, you may want to look a little harder
at these. Those individuals and companies listed
in the directories of Handi-men.com have
made
a
committement
to
their
community to
provide the very best service possible and allow
their customers to grade them to recommend them
to others! |
|
| Contractors - craftsmen. Listing your serivices
or business on Handi-men.com is good sense
and besides, its absolutely FREE. There are
no hidden gimmicks or charges.
You
simply use the tools available to list your
services in the town and state you're located
- and your
phone number and name will be read by thousands
of people each day -- all for FREE. If you
find its working for you, you have the option
of upgradding your FREE listing to a feature
listing thus guaranteeing a spot placement
for your business! |
|
| While Handi-men.com makes a FREE referral
service available, the same contractors and
service provides
are all listed in the directories on its web
site - so you can still review their qualifications
and feedback before you make a hiring committement
- even if Handi-men.com does make a recommendation.
You can either have our Editor do the work
for
you - or you can do it yourself. Either way,
its FREE and you are not obligated in any way
to use our recommendations. No committments,
no
gimmicks - and especially, no cost.
Just an honest method of bringing users and
craftmen together and allowing the users to
grade the
work of their pick later. |
|
| If a contractor wishes to take a top spot
on a particular director page, they can take
advantage
of Handi-men.com's featured listing services.A
feature listing provides exposure throughout
the state in a top position. It also provides
greater access, an listing account - so that
their information can be updated by themselves
-
plus have access
to a great many other services and benefits
that can be so valueable to a small business.
To qualify for a feature listing - you need
to
first have
a
free listing
in
the
community
in
which you're doing business. You can upgrade
your listing status by going to the directory
page which contains your FREE listing and clicking
on he
"Reserve" link. |
|
| A consumer
can evaluate a potential service provider through
their feedback - and when their own project
is complete, add feedback of their own. The
contractor or service provider is well aware
of the power of feedback on future business
so a home owner can be fairly sure that they
can expect a cooperative and quality job! |
|
| We understand that in the repair, building
and trade industries, there are issues and
misunderstandings between individuals on a
daily basis. This is
far different than fraud, failure to complete
work or taking money and never doing the
work. In most cases, reports of this behavior
will result in immediate suspension. In all
other matters, Handi-men.com contends
that disagreements can be worked out to everyone's
satisfaction if both parties are willing to
work with each other.
The feedback
options
available on our site are encentative to the
contractor or service provider and can go a
long way in helping a smaller or newer company
manage
and maintain their
customer
service relations and public exposure. It gives
them an excellent opportunity to proclaim
the excellence of their
work while
at the same time having a feedback process
in place for reporting issues from customer
they
may never hear about
(except for a growing lack of business). Positive
word-of-mouth is one of the most important
growth tools available on the market today
and Handi-men.com
makes available to everyone for FREE! |

| Contractors - don't have a web page?
No email? Experts tell us the internet is growing faster
than
any
medium in history. Nearly nine out every ten American
Families now have access to the Internet - and most
spend at least twelve hours a week on the Internet!
If you don't have access - you're missing a bet!
You could be marketing your services 24x7 to the
entire world. You could also be taking orders and providing
bids right over the internet --- and making money
on your days off.
Handi-men.com has several plans to provide you
with access to the Internet. First - We'll can
provide you
a subdomain off Handi-men to use in conjunction with
your Handi-men.com listing for only $15.00 @ month
(this will also provide email access for your use).
Second Plan- we'll provide you with an attractive
one page web site for $95 and host it for free
(as a
subdomain)
for a year. If you're interested, CONTACT us
(click on the CONTACT) or call 1-866-734-1911.

The navigation on the Handi-man.com site is straight-forward. You navigate by clicking on the
various
links. Most have information popup windows assisting
you in identifying what it does.
Feature Listing If you are a featured listing, you can
access your account by clicking on 'Signin' at the top of the
page. Once signed
in - you'll
can access your account from the 'Account' link. If you forget your User
ID or Password, you'll be given an opportunity to request it via email.
Easy Site Use and Navigaion. User's will find the site
easy to use as well (you might want to bookmark it since home maintenance
and repair
is something
you'll
do
again and
again). First - select the service you require, next select the state
and then you select a city or town. That's it!
Feedback and how does it work? Actually
its also very simple. Anyone can enter feedback for a company or individual
listed in our many
Directories. There are
some rules to follow, however. First - feedback must be submitted using the
feedback form. Once submited - Handi-man.com will ask for a verification
from the indicated sender (to verify the feedback). A user is limited
to one feedback per contractor per day.
And feedback must be in response to services received from the party getting
the feedback.
Negative Feedback is held for ten days to assess
of the issues between the two parties and if they can be
resolved. Also,
the editorial
staff of
Handi-men.com will review the validity of the issues reported. If it
stands - or if the contractor fails to reply within the necessary time,
the feedback will be posted after twelve
days. Three valid negative feedbacks will result in a contractor
or service provider being suspended from Handi-men.com.
Limited Negative Feedback - Only
one negative feedback per user is permitted for each contractor.
If a user continues to do business with someone they gave negative feedback
then there is a question on how valid the feedback was in the first
place.
All actions by Handi-men.com are open to review and arbitration (see
our policies and procedures). Feedback, however, may only be overturned
with the consent of both parties.
