ServiceGuy, better late than never!
August 6, 2007
We have been swamped with projects, but finally launched ServiceGuy in limited release this afternoon. Limited release? We only launched in Dallas and for now only have four services available: computer support, pool cleaning, design and moving (we might launch the rest tomorrow if all goes well this evening).
What is ServiceGuy? I wrote about it back in May in a post titled, "Quick Project: ServiceGuy Referral Network" when I was having trouble finding a pool guy. The idea is simple: You need help now. You don’t want to wait to receive a call back. You don’t want to wait for an email response. You don’t want to create an account or provide demographic data. You want to talk to a service provider in your area right NOW! Just call the ServiceGuy number for your area and the service you need. Your call is then connected to a service provider. No voicemail. No email. No accounts. Just a direct connect to someone who can help you right NOW!
Phase one of our launch is focused on seeding each service with providers. We need to find a minimum of 25 providers in each category before phase two can begin. Phase two of our launch is focused on getting consumers to call our providers. Once we have Dallas up and running we will launch other markets in quick succession.
