Trade support

Applying for a MyBuilder trade account is quick and easy. To get your application for a trade account underway,register here.

When you apply, we will ask you to:

• Provide information about you and your company
• Complete an evaluation for each trade you apply for
• Verify your identity

We aim to approve trade applications within 48 hours (Monday to Friday).

We need to verify your ID before you can express interest in jobs on MyBuilder. To complete the process you will need to submit a valid photo ID document and a clear photo of you.

在线提交文件和照片很容易。如果您正在申请加入MyBuilder，您将被提示在完成我们的在线申请过程中上传它们。这很简单，只需要几分钟。You can return to your application at any time from the link in the email we sent you when you started, or bylogging in.

If your account has been set up but you cannot express interest in jobs because we have not validated your ID, you can go to theID check page按照说明去做。一旦我们核实了你的身份，你就可以去寻找线索了。

We aim to complete the verification within 24 hours from Monday to Friday, though it may take longer during busy periods and bank holidays, or if we need to contact you for more information.

Tips on taking a great photo

Depending on your device, you may be asked to upload a photo of your face that you or a friend have taken, so here's a quick guide to taking a shot that puts you in the best possible light.

• Get a friend to help
  Trying to get a good angle with a selfie can be difficult, no matter how long your arms are!

• Take your picture outdoors
  确保光线照在脸上，而不是背后——尽量避免阴影。

• Get in the frame
  Make sure you're front and centre - get your head and shoulders in shot, a few paces away from the camera.

In most cases, we need to verify the identity of the primary point of contact for your customers.

If you are a limited company, registered with Companies House, then we will also need to verify the identity of a registered director if different from the primary account contact.

请注意，我们不能接受团体照片或徽标作为您的个人资料图片。

Absolutely, justcontact usand request a callback.

Once logged in, go to yoursettings page然后换一个不同的邮箱地址。如果你没有另一个电子邮件地址，你可以在网上很快创建一个。一旦改变，这将释放原来的电子邮件地址，以供您注册。

Alternatively, you can just sign-up using a different email address.

如果你加入MyBuilder的申请已经成功，那么我们已经知道你是一个伟大的商人，你的工作将会说明一切。迈出第一步可能是困难的，所以一个好的介绍信息是成功的关键部分。

Your message should let the customer know you are keen on the work and give a reason for them to choose you over the competition. An effective message should include:

• An introduction to you / your company
• Your key selling points (experience, qualifications, insurance, etc.)
• Your level of service (satisfaction guarantees, reliability, cleanliness, quality of work)
• Your availability to quote and commence work, if accepted
• A direct and friendly request to be shortlisted for the work

做到以上几点，表现出友好和专业的态度，你就会收获很多机会。

You can save your message as a template so you don’t have to type it out each time; just remember to update details such as your availability before sending it to the customer.

您可以有任意多的不同模板，所以如果您提供不止一种交易，您可以为每种服务提供特定的消息，或者为不同类型的客户提供单独的消息。

If you would like some bespoke advice on creating a message just right for your business, pleasecontact our Support team, who will be happy to assist.

你的贸易概况基本上就是你的商店橱窗，所以花时间尽可能完整地完成它是很重要的。There are five main sections to complete:

Introduction

介绍你自己和你的公司，包括你的经历，服务水平，以及你与竞争对手的区别。保持这部分简短而甜蜜;稍后您可以详细介绍。

About

This is an ideal opportunity to list the types of work you undertake, mention any particularly interesting projects you have completed, and to really sell the service you offer.

Photo gallery

In your gallery you can show off the jobs you are most proud of and represent all the services you provide. Try and include photos of different project types, and always write a caption below to let the customer know what they are looking at.

完成项目的照片工作最好与所有收尾工作完成。其他商人感兴趣的是看到具体细节，但房主更喜欢看到最终结果。世界杯荷兰vs威尔士竞猜

Qualifications

Easy one this - list your trade qualifications, accreditations and length of experience. Mention any relevant courses you may have attended, and membership of any trade bodies.

Insurance

如果您持有公共责任保险或专业赔偿保险，添加详细信息，潜在客户将看到您的保险范围。要添加您的公共责任或专业赔偿保险的详细信息，只需访问您的保险页面添加您的政策的详细信息。

Ask a Tradesperson

‘Ask a Tradesperson’ allows homeowners to get great advice directly from expert tradespeople. Any questions you answer will be shown on your profile page which is a great way demonstrate your knowledge to potential customers, especially if you’re new to MyBuilder and don’t have much feedback.

Winning work through MyBuilder is all about showcasing your profile and providing customers with a great service experience. As your feedback reputation on the site grows, you gain trust and winning work gets easier.

MyBuilder的设计目的是随着时间的推移提供结果，所以如果前几个线索不成功，不要放弃。只要留出合理的预算，你的努力工作不久就会有回报。

If you’re struggling to win work,get in touch, and we’ll be happy to provide some advice.

You express interest in leads by sending the job poster an introduction message. It’s free to express interest. The job poster can then either decline your interest or add you to their shortlist. Being added to a shortlist means the job poster likes the sound of your message and the look of your profile and they’re giving you permission to contact them directly to discuss their job.

Contact details are automatically shared with every shortlist; you will receive the job poster’s telephone number. Our fee is only applied once you are shortlisted.

招聘启事并不总是可以接听你的电话或立即回复你的信息。但不要过早放弃;他们可能很忙。如果通过电话或短信联系有困难，可以通过MyBuilder发送后续信息，并尝试在一天中的其他时间再打电话。不要给他们打太多次电话，因为这样会耽误他们的时间。如果你还是联系不上，通过网站给他们发最后一条短信或信息，让他们保存你的电话号码，以备将来需要你时使用。

When a job poster adds you to their shortlist, you will receive a notification containing their name and telephone number along with the job details. Notifications are sent via email and text message, if you have opted to receive SMS alerts. The job poster will also get your telephone number but you should call them as soon as you can - don’t rely on them making the first move.

在入围之前，联系方式不能共享，只有当招聘广告将你列入候选名单时，他们才能回复你的介绍信息。

招聘广告可以搜索他们所在地区的商人，并向他们想要联系的人发送邀请。如果客户向您发送邀请，您将收到电子邮件通知和文本消息，如果您选择接收短信提醒。You have three options when you are invited:

• No thanks: Choose your reason for declining from a list of options and we will notify the job poster.
• 入围我:接受邀请，入围费用将自动申请。你会立即得到招聘海报的详细信息，你可以发送信息与招聘海报，你接受他们的邀请。为了最好的成功机会，尽快给他们打电话。
• Express interest in this job like a normal lead: Send the job poster a message and the fee won’t be applied or contact details exchanged unless they add you to their shortlist.

所有招聘广告的电话号码都要经过核实后才能列入候选名单。我们使用一个自动系统来确保每个数字是有效的和有效的。如果这个系统无法验证号码，我们会直接联系他们进行口头确认。这也适用于国际号码。

当一份工作被批准后，我们会把它发给最初的一批当地商人。如果这份工作没有获得足够的兴趣，我们会在24小时后扩大招聘范围。你可能会发现这些工作的位置比平时要远，或者在你的列表中排名较低。

View and update your contact details

Check our emails are not being directed to your junk/spam folder. If they are, mark them as safe and add info@mybuilder.com to your list of contacts or safe senders.

If, after 24 hours, you are still not receiving our emails, pleasecontact us, and we’ll be in touch.

Check youraccount settingsand make sure you have ticked ‘I’d like to receive SMS alerts’

如果你正在使用iOS应用程序，如果我们还没有发送应用程序通知，我们只会发送短消息以获取候选名单或邀请。如果你更喜欢接收短信，进入应用程序设置，禁用推送通知。

Push notifications are available through our iPhone app which you candownloadfrom the apple store.

When using the app, all shortlist and invitation notifications will show up on your phone. This replaces SMS alerts which are sent to all non app users. If you would prefer to keep the SMS alerts, you will need to disable push notifications in the app settings.

The app is currently only available to iPhone users.

报价工具是一个新的，免费的服务，我们已经建立，让我们的商人创建和发送详细的，专业的报价在几分钟内。只要找到你想要的任务，选择相关的细节和报价工具将输出全面的书面报价在分钟。Learn more about Quote Tool.

No, there is no requirement to use Quote Tool to continue using other MyBuilder services.

If you need to change the business details that appear on your quote,转到我们的联系表格，并让我们知道需要改变的地方。

Absolutely! You can use our tool for all of your jobs, whether you're quoting through MyBuilder or other sources.

Estimates might help you turn a lead into a won job but they offer little protection or clarity, leaving both you and your customer vulnerable to unforeseen circumstances. Quotes, on the other hand, are legal agreements that outline exactly what you will do and what you will charge. They commit you to do the work for that price, but they also help ensure the customer pays you on time and empower you to charge more for additional work. Read more about quotes vs estimates in ourTrade Hub article.

要从MyBuilder工作创建报价，去你的工作在领导，并点击“开始构建一个报价”按钮。If you are using theLeads iOS app, make sure theQuote Tool app也安装了。

Tasks are the building blocks that help you outline the scope of work. You can search or explore to find them, and there should be one for every job or project. Tasks contain forms which collect information about the job and output them on the quote in a presentable and professional way. They are designed to speed up the quoting process by doing the hard work for you, allowing them to input a lot of information in just a few taps and swipes.

你只需要添加尽可能多的细节，但详细的报价更有可能被客户接受。

You can add any price you like. You can also add split payments and provide your own payment milestones.

Yes you can. In the settings screen (link top-right when on the 'Jobs list' page), you'll find a section to upload your own logo.These appear on all quotes sent to your customers, next to your business details.

You can send as many quotes as you like to a customer. You can find all the quotes you have sent in the job on the Quote Tool home screen/landing page. You can create another version by hitting the green ‘Create Quote’ button. If the details of the job change, we encourage you to send a new quote.

Not yet, though you can withdraw any quote you no longer want to be valid unless it has already been accepted by the customer.

数据共享协议建立了两个“数据控制器”之间的关系，即交易员和MyBuilder。这是一项法律要求的协议，允许我们双方处理商家客户的个人数据，并确保双方遵守GDPR。

如果您想继续使用MyBuilder，您必须签署数据共享协议。为遵守GDPR，所有交易用户在通过Leads服务和Quote Tool向我们提供客户个人数据时，必须签署本协议。这是强制性的，从条款和条件发布的同时，报价工具发布给所有用户。

You can update your card details in thepayment settings在您的帐户。

We accept payment online via credit or debit card. Your card details will be securely stored for future use. To save time, you can set up automated payments where your invoices will be paid on the due date with your saved card.

Yes - your details are securely stored by WorldPay, a trusted payment processor for many UK-based merchants, accounting for approximately 42% of UK card payments.

我们在周一发票的任何入围费用发生在前一周。我们的付款条件是7天。

If an invoice is more than two weeks overdue:

• 您的帐户将被限制。你无法表达对工作的兴趣，也无法发送信息。
• 我们将停止向你发送线索。

It is important that you pay any very overdue invoices as soon as possible. If you are having trouble paying or have any queries about your invoice, you shouldcontact usas soon as possible.

Double check yourinvoices page看看是否有未付款项。如果是这样，这可能意味着你的付款失败，所以你需要再次尝试。如果您的付款是最新的，退出您的帐户，并再次登录。

If you are still restricted, pleasecontact us, and we’ll be in touch.

You can receive feedback at any point after an agreement for the work to begin has been reached. Your customer will rate their experience as positive, neutral or negative. The feedback offers their opinion of the service they received. All reviews instantly appear on your profile which can be viewed by anyone online.

每个商人都有一个反馈分数，以正面评价的百分比表示。中立的评论在任何计算中都不被考虑。

Only customers sourced directly through the MyBuilder platform can leave feedback.

想要得到反馈，你的客户首先要把你标记为被雇佣。If they are yet to do so, find them in your list ofshortlisted leadsand click “Send Hire Request”. This option appears 24 hours after being shortlisted.

When a hire is confirmed, view yourjobs wonlist, select the relevant lead and click “Ask for feedback”. Unlike the one-off hire request, this link will refresh once a week.

在每种情况下，您的客户都会收到一封附有完整说明的电子邮件。如果他们在发布评论时遇到任何困难，请建议他们直接联系我们寻求帮助。

Firstly; don’t panic. This is not the end of the world. Many successful tradespeople receive negative feedback at some point and go on to win plenty more work.

Once you’ve agreed to carry out the work, the feedback can only be removed at the request of the job poster. If there is a way to resolve any highlighted problems, send them a friendly message through MyBuilder and try to find an agreeable solution. If this is not possible, we recommend posting a calm and professional reply to their review.

我们理解您可能不同意反馈，但MyBuilder是公正的，不是在谁是正确或错误的位置作出判断。专注于写一份有分寸的回复，向潜在客户表明你已经接受了批评，并愿意尝试解决任何问题。

You should have received an email containing advice on how to write a strong reply. If you want further help with this, pleaseget in touchwith our Trade Support team who will be happy to help.

记住，你的回答是公开的，不能改变，所以要仔细考虑你的措辞，避免情绪化的语言。

• Put any negative feelings to one side; sleep on it if necessary. You’ll be more able to effectively address the feedback with a level head
• Keep it short and friendly so it doesn’t look like a rant
• Include any steps you took to resolve the issues. Future customers will see that you are able to address any problems in a professional and courteous manner
• Invite potential customers to view your other feedback so they can see what level of service to expect from you.

如果你需要进一步的帮助，请get in touchwith our Trade Support team who will be happy to help.

There are a few situations where we remove feedback:

• There was no agreement to start the work
• The tradesperson was sourced outside of MyBuilder
• The tradesperson and job poster knew each other before connecting on MyBuilder

MyBuilder reserves the right to remove content that is not in line with our policies, including discriminatory comments, foul or abusive language and personal information.

You can change your address, phone number, business website and email address in youraccount settings.

If you are changing your address you may also need to update yourworking area.

Check your invoices are not marked as very overdue as this will prevent you being able to express interest. If your payments are up to date, log out of your account and sign back in again.

如果你还没有提交你的身份证明文件，你需要在开始找工作之前提交。

我如何验证我的身份证?

If you are receiving leads but cannot express interest, go to theID check pageand follow the instructions to submit your ID. You will be able to go for leads as soon as we have completed the verification process.

我们的目标是在周一至周五的24小时内完成验证，但在繁忙时期和银行假期可能需要更长时间，或者如果我们需要联系您了解更多信息。

如果你最近提交了你的身份证件，它可能还没有被验证。请允许最多三个工作日的时间来处理。

We will send you an email when we have completed our checks and you can start expressing interest. If you still cannot express interest, pleasecontact usand we’ll be in touch.

这个问题通常发生在人们用平板电脑浏览网站的时候。试着把手机翻过来，这通常能解决问题。如果没有，你必须切换到手机或桌面才能看到全屏。
