Maximising Potential – A Tradesperson’s Guide To Capturing Business In A Tough Housing Market

Nov. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- The last few years have seen the economy, and in particular the housing market hit hard. Though there will always be some work available, there is not nearly as much as experienced during the housing boom. For those in the property industry, whether it is construction or otherwise, it is now essential to maximise all possible opportunities, however fleeting. Local Surveyors Direct, the property services price comparison site offers a unique way to tap into all available business opportunities without ever needing to have your own web site or even, business cards.  
From architects and electricians to building surveyors and conveyancers, Local Surveyors Direct presents estimates and services to home owners and landlords at exactly the moment they search for a tradesmen or building professional to undertake work in the area.
JJ Heath-Caldwell from Local Surveyors Direct said, “Local Surveyors Direct provides an introduction service between supplies and customers. We have developed a large network of independent property specialists and offer a no obligation trial for property professionals. Being a member of Local Surveyors Direct means suppliers are automatically considered for a whole range of jobs that previously they may not have heard about, without the need for marketing expenditure, local advertising or a large sales team to deal with individual quite requests.”
Though the housing market may be flat, and work on new properties scarce, a jump in DIY projects and renovations on houses for sale means jobs can be secured provided the right avenues are used. Additionally in a bad market to buy or sell, letting is becoming more ever popular. With this trend, there is an increase in demand for structural surveys,  building surveys and legislation issues such as energy performance certificates.
In times such as these it is of paramount importance to maximise any work that is available. Using Local Surveyors Direct allows property professionals to maintain a constant presence at the forefront of customer consciousness. Vistors inputting job descriptions on the Local Surveryos Direct web site are presented with a series of instant estimates from professionals in their local area, including full contact details. This automated system is a time saver for tradesmen as a general idea of pricing is automatically generated. After discussing the requirement in more detail, the customer can then place an order directly with their chosen supplier.
With price estimates and areas of operation set independently by the tradesperson upon registration, the system is flexible and can be tailored to suit demand. In addition to the home area of operation, the supplier can also select outer areas where coverage is possible at increased prices; allowing for a wider net when business is slow.
Local Surveryos Direct is currently offering a free no obligation trial to new suppliers. To find out more and register, visit http://www.localsurveyorsdirect.co.uk/
