    My bookkeeping business is now building and I've been letting gardening clients go - all except the creamiest (mostly commercial) and little old ladies - the best!

    eg. one client has two sites in and near Ararat VIC, requires at most 8 hours per month peak season (pushies only!)

    $10,000 per year paid equal monthly installments - no kidding!

    Big Ed, two weeks too late! I pinched two over there. There'll be plenty more, keep your ear to ground, I saw plenty of lawns that needed doing there last weekend. Hit their letter boxes.

    Jobs gone. Looks like there are not too many Indies in Adelaide looking for work. I have put up a few jobs now with no takers

    good thread when it finially gets going . Looking at a lot of the members on here thats including forum members of course , I would love to know what area each are servicing as not all have web pages and some dont put areas on the web site . I have a couple of numbers in the book from this forum but be nice to get a list of members in our region say , east and south of melbourne for example that displays areas they service. I myself service Dingley Village , keysborough , noble park , north dandenong , wavely park ,waterways and patterson lakes.I get many calls just outside my area and often say I dont know anyone...its amazing when you receive a referral you often get the job because you have already a good name because of the referral.

    Good thought Geoff and probably easily done via the member profile. If we had an additional field in the profile for Service Area it could go in there. Better still a map feature. I agree on being able to refer people. I really need a n Indie for referrals in the south of Adelaide as i get quite a few calls from my web page there. I have tried before but I think I am the only Indie on here from Adelaide by the looks of it.

    like the map feature , maybe admin could upgrade the directory in the indy site......that would help customers to get a contactor off the site . At present it only has state , maybe he could upgrade to regions perhaps , locailty guide like the yellow pages/???

    Yes agree. If the current map on the Indie main site could drill down to suburbs and you could nominate those suburbs you serviced it would be great. There you go Admin. Can it be done?

    This is a great impetus people. This were we can really up our game as indies. The reason the big franchises get a lot of call is because they are united. I have left call go begging because I have no one to refer them to. Lets get organised on this and give the franchise boys a run for their money. With so many Indies out there if we work together we will have a huge impact.

    Are you with me.
    Cheers

    I hear ya brother.

    If a client says they are from a suburb I haven't heard of and I ask what that's near and if I still have no idea, I refer them to this website or the 1800 number. I figure that's a good start.
