While many people choose to do business full-time, there are many independent contractors out there who may choose to have a side gig alongside a full-time 9 – 5 job. This side business often termed as a 5 – 9 job can be an additional source of income for many professionals like yourself along with honing the skills you are passionate about. At HomeStars as we are in the business of growing yours, we go the extra mile to ensure the success of your business, whether it’s your full-time occupation or part-time. However, there are many features on HomeStars which are especially important for people whose contracting business is their side job. Let’s look at how HomeStars is helping pros with their 5-9 job more efficiently and easily!
The HomeStars For Pros App
The HomeStars for Pros App is a one-stop solution for all your side job needs. The consolidated app offers everything you need to run your second business smoothly in one place. When you are busy with your day job or simply going places for work, you don’t have the time to keep checking your emails or taking calls. By downloading the HomeStars pro app you can build a profile easily and manage the business on your phone. Getting started on the app is easy and you can build your profile to attract the leads you want. From lead management on the dashboard to accepting jobs – this app enables you to do everything on the go.
Request Reviews Through The App
As a platform that promises homeowners the best community-reviewed pros, reviews from customers are the easiest way to get noticed and hired by ready-to-hire homeowners. As an independent contractor with a side job, you may not have the time to call up every customer and convince them to leave a review. However, with the HomeStars for Pros app, this step is made simple. Through the app, you can request a review in just a few clicks. You simply need to fill in the customer details and the app will automatically send a request to them! You can also use the app to manage your reviews from your phone and respond to them efficiently.
Set Up Auto Replies On The App
We understand that pros like you are busy juggling two jobs, so we have made it easier for you to score opportunities even when you are busy. Typically homeowners like responsive pros and hire the ones who respond to their requests. If you are already working during the day, chances are you might miss these incoming leads. However, with the auto-replies feature on the HomeStars app, you can draft detailed messages for incoming leads. You can use these messages to greet project-ready homeowners and inform them about your availability and so much more! By simply setting up responses on automated replies, you can let potential customers know when they can contact you and if you are ready to take up the job. And this one step can go a long in securing the job for you!
With all these services at your fingertips, HomeStars is helping you do your side job with ease. When you sign up with HomeStars, your dedicated account manager can guide you through all these and much more, and even provide the best practices for drafting replies, requesting reviews etc.
