    1 Star RP profiting from ripping professionals and promoting cowboys. Review with images 20/05/2013
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages NONE ! ITS good for RatedPeople

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Helps put professionals out of work and promote Cowboys and decline quality of the service market

    I have an electrical business which is not doing so well and We decide to make an experience of 2-3 months on RP to get new customers for our domestic electrical services. So for the last 3 months we worked with RatedPeople. Initially we were willing to offer jobs for good prices so we could build up good rates and eventually we could start pricing on regular SUSTAINABLE prices. We try to control our cash flow, income and costs. It seems to me that loads of tradesmen, majority I think; don’t calculate their costs, depreciation of assets, operational investment, marketing, etc. Folks get happy ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages early arrival. splendid job.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    1 Star TOTAL WASTE OF TIME 02/11/2012

    Advantages Advantages None. 100% failure rate

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not worth bothering with - posted two jobs and not a single response

    The concept of this site appealed to me but then I tried it. This site did not work for me. I posted two jobs - one for fairly minor Central heating work earlier in the year and the other more recently for building and roofing repairs. Neither were particularly complex and the latter in particular could have developed into a lucrative opportunity for any tradespersons worth their salt. Not a single response from Rated Peoples (self claimed) battery of eager Tradespersons. All the emails from Rated People, whilst signed by an apparently real person were of the "No reply" type. So, either Rated ... more

    1 Star Don't bother. As a tramesman, it costs too much. 20/09/2012
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Will cost you lots of money to buy leads and many people do not respond. Rated People make the mon

    I have been on Rated People for a couple of months and from my experience its not good at all. I got the texts at first, then when they had run out, lots of emails with job postings. The people put a budget on the jobs they want carried out. These start at £100, £250, £500, £1000, £2000 and £4000. There might be more budgets, but these are the ones I received. Now a £4000 job costs just over £65 and a £2000 job, about half that and so forth. Most job posters do not call you back either. From my experience so far, I have brought a few £4000 leads. One in particular was a bathroom installation ... more

    1 Star Cowboys !!!! 15/08/2012

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Will cost you money (a lot of money) and heartache

    I have just had to correct work carried out by a builder supplied via Rated people. Have read his reviews, and all I can say is that the reviews do not match the work that was carried out. Rippled plastering. pipework disappearing into the ceiling from the new radiator. Radiator would not work, why? the pipes were not connect to anything. Rated people, customers and traders stay away, it is a cowboy firm. Any trader worth their salt will stay away, or if they are conned into joining, will quickly realise that they are being ripped off. The reviews are all fabricated (check the dates) If you ... more

    1 Star Rated people have wasted my time and money! 15/08/2012

    Advantages Advantages None as far as I can see

    Disadvantages Disadvantages expensive

    I joined this to see if I could increase enquiries from Genuine customers and increase work load. So far it's proven to be a complete waste of time and resources as I have purchased 3 leads and they have all been time wasters. The first lead did not get in touch the second lead was only looking for a tradesperson 'just in case' they needed one at some point in the future. The third lead wanted a bathroom refurbished. I bought the lead for £44+VAT and was then told by the home owner that he wanted some one to quote with more history. Another time waster. So in a nutshell I shall be cancelling ... more

    1 Star Rated People - A good idea cynically exploited 01/07/2012
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Allows homeowner to post review of tradesmans work

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No interest in improving the experience for homeowner or tradesman

    A warning to others - Do your research before jumping in - Idiot of the month goes to me I was looking to replace the dwindling enquiries I was getting from the paper directories A quick fix if you like, to keep business coming in while putting into place some the good ideas I have received from other tradesman to promote my business. I had seen a recent advert for "Rated People" an on-line local tradesman finding and rating site for the householder wanting place work....... A notice board if you like......... Looking at the general ethos, professional tradesman, doing quality work, at ... more

    1 Star RATED PEOPLE - STAY WAY 08/05/2012
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages YOU GET 1 JOB AFTER U BUY 20 LEADS

    Disadvantages Disadvantages DON'T USE THIS SITE

    I am working whit rated people for a year and i said this is losing money and time. When you spoke first time whit customer service they will said something like if you don't quote the lead you will get a refound back, but this is not gonna happen . Example you buy a lead for £25 plus VAT , spend time and money calling the client etc, go back to resolution centre from rated people and tell them you are not quotes this job and maybe they will give you a free lead. But if your next lead will cost £5 , you lose £20 every time. One more thing 80% of this customers from rated people are using the ... more

    1 Star MY BIGGEST MISTAKE FOR SOME TIME 04/05/2012

    Advantages Advantages Plenty of leads

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No incentive to become involved with such a dodgy setup.

    I found my involvement with this outfit quite disconcerting , .And they simply help themselves to your bank account.Of course they get your bank details when you try the introductory offer.I found myself inundated with leads, all with ridiculously low budgets. Since when did potential customers give you a budget? Thats for them to know and you to find out.They took £48 from my account.I was led to believe you paid, only for the leads.I appreciate a lead costs money to generate,but, I would require more information about a potential project before laying out the kind of money, this outfit is ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages none

    Disadvantages Disadvantages total junk

    Im a tradesman (joiner) and anyone can join this service as long as they pay! No checks are done on the tradesman and half of them are cowboys ( lets face it, if they need to get work through Rated People then they cant be very good can they) stick to local professional tradesmen, people your friends and family have used and tradsmen that you hear good things about. i looked at joining Rated People and the fees they charge are a joke, my friend joined them over a month ago and paid for a few numbers to quote for, when he called them up many of the customers were quite rude, like they were sick ... more
