Does Your Business Need a Mobile Solution?

HelpBook allows service providers to benefit from the mobile app explosion

Want to get the benefits from the mobile app explosion, but too busy running your business to delve into a months-long project and the price tag that goes along with it? HelpBook is the mobile solution for service providers in Northern California. For a small monthly fee, you can get your business in front of people who are immediate buyers for your services. Customers with urgent needs – like a broken hot water heater, abscessed tooth, cold oven, sick pet and the like - need help now. And if it’s the weekend or after hours, it’s nearly impossible for them to get service, even if they do know who to call. If they are new in the area, they probably don’t have a provider relationship yet either—your chance to win a new long-term customer.

How does it work? As a HelpBook provider, you get to set your on-call schedule for when you want to be available then change it on the fly if you need to. You can also define the market area you serve or how far you want to travel. People with urgent needs see on-call providers in the app. They can then call you, or send you help request message. HelpBook providers are asked to connect with customers within 5 minutes of the help request. When they hire you, you can even allow them to track your progress to their home, or, if they’re coming to you, track their progress to your office. You still control your own pricing and collect revenue directly from the customer—HelpBook doesn’t get involved in your transactions.

People with urgent needs are generally the most grateful customers and become loyal clients - because you helped them out of a jam. To learn more about becoming a HelpBook provider, go to HelpBookProvider.com or call 888-500-7075 Ext. 1. Or, download the app yourself to see how it works. Text HB to 24587.
