Workdone offers several features to help you maintain and reconnect with Pros you've had positive experiences with. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to leverage these tools effectively:
- Access your 'Past Tasks' section: Navigate to your dashboard and find the 'Past Tasks' tab. This section provides a history of all your completed tasks, including the Pros you've worked with.
- Utilize the 'Favorites' feature: After a successful task completion, click the star icon next to a Pro's name to add them to your favorites. This creates a easily accessible list of preferred Pros for future tasks.
- Direct invitations for new tasks: When posting a new task, use the 'Invite Pros' option to send task invitations directly to specific Pros you've worked with before.
- Engage through the messaging system: Use Workdone's built-in messaging feature to reach out to Pros directly. This is great for quick questions, discussing potential future work, or maintaining professional relationships.
- Leave and respond to reviews: After each task, leave detailed, constructive reviews. Positive reviews make Pros more likely to prioritize your future tasks.
- Set up job alerts: Create job alerts for your favorite Pros to be notified when they're available for new tasks.
- Use the 'Rehire' button: For recurring tasks, look for the 'Rehire' option next to completed tasks in your history. This streamlines the process of working with the same Pro again.
Tips for maintaining professional relationships with Pros:
- Communicate clearly and respectfully throughout each task
- Provide detailed task descriptions and prompt responses to questions
- Be open to feedback and provide constructive feedback in return
- Respect the Pro's time and expertise
- Consider offering repeat business for consistently good work
Example of a successful reconnection:
Sarah hired Tom for a home painting job through Workdone. Impressed with his work, she added him to her favorites. Three months later, when Sarah needed her deck stained, she checked her favorites list, found Tom, and used the 'Invite Pro' feature to offer him the new task. Tom, recognizing Sarah as a good client from their previous interaction, quickly accepted the offer. This seamless reconnection saved Sarah time in finding a trusted Pro and provided Tom with repeat business.
By actively using these features and following these tips, you can build a network of trusted Pros on Workdone. This network not only saves you time in finding quality service providers but also ensures consistent, high-quality results for your future tasks. Remember, strong professional relationships on Workdone can lead to more efficient task completion and a better overall experience for both clients and Pros.
