OUR GUARANTEE TO OUR MEMBERS… If you don’t earn back AT LEAST your membership fees in a year, and you are taking advantage of our discounts and referral program, we will refund you the difference! As a Subcontracting Business Owner, do you ever feel like you’re standing alone, and everyone around you has their hands in your pockets? Or destroying everything you’re trying to accomplish to get ahead? Who Protects the specialized Subcontracting trade owners? Click Here for Explanation! NOBODY!! · Employees have the Labor Departments, Unions, and Collective Bargaining Agreements to protect them. · GC’s and Engineers have State and Local Governments, Large Legal Teams, and Iron-clad contracts to protect them and take away most of your rights. · Project/Property owners have the law (because money talks) and courts on their side. Lien laws don’t really even protect us, because we usually don’t even get our money for a year or more, and the GC’s and owners, many times, have verbiage on their contracts that make you sign away your rights to lien.
As a large group, we can stand together and let our voices be heard and affect our policies, rather than have policies imposed on us. Stop saying “I don’t like it, but what can I do?” As One Cohesive Unit, SUBCONTRACTORSCORNER MEMBERS CAN AFFECT CHANGE! What can we change? Cut back on our never-ending overhead costs. Every Dollar You save, Goes in Your Pocket! Click Here to Find Out How You Can Save $ Receive discounts and rebates on items you already purchase for your business such as: office products, construction software, hardware/tools, payroll services, etc. We have already set up affiliations with national vendors and WE GIVE YOU THE COMMISSIONS! In the form of monthly rebate checks for your purchases through the links on our site. We have already been in contact with some national vendors for equipment rental discounts. As our membership base grows, they will set up a group discount for members of SubcontractorsCorner, SAVING YOU MORE MONEY and making your company more competitive. Buy major manufacturer tools on our site, NEW OR USED, from industry-leading vendors, and receive discounts and rebates.

Haven’t heard enough Yet? LOOK what we are aspiring to obtain as our group becomes larger: Group discounts from national material suppliers (on the manufacturer level). Imagine walking into your local supply houses to purchase items at a lower price dictated by the manufacturer, just for belonging to SubcontractorsCorner. Again, making you more competitve and more profitable. Group discounts from national health insurance carriers. Many subcontractors cannot afford the outrageous rates to provide coverage for our personnel. If we could provide it at a reasonable cost, it would make us more competitive in the hiring market. Bid Notification Services. Once our membership base is large enough, we will approach them for substantial discounts. If they won’t offer one, we will start our own services for bid notification. Owners and GC’s will be willing to work with us and submit their projects to us. (They need us to bid with them). Please note: some of these are already acomplished (we will continue to add to them), and some of these are already in the works. About our Forums……….. Click Here for Ways to Use the Forums to Save $ Bond together as ONE VERY LARGE COMMUNITY OF LIKE-MINDED BUSINESS OWNERS! Up-To-Date New Products and Reviews. Vendors will submit to us their new products – samples when applicable – putting us a step ahead, as a group. Technology is changing the way we do things everyday. It’s almost impossible to keep up…..Let them come to us. Marketing – Be it a large or small business, we all need to market our companies in some way. Most marketing is very expensive and out-of-reach, or unjustified, for most. Inside the member area, let me show you how you can save a lot of $ and yet market like never before. (Radio, TV, magazines, etc.) Buy/sell/trade your overstock equipment and materials with no listing fees to other business owners—and for a reasonable cost. We all know how much these materials cost, so you don’t need to “give it away” on eBay. Rent Equipment/Tools – Do you have something that you wouldn’t mind renting out to a fellow subcontractor? For example: core drill, ditch witch, bucket truck, testers. Why let it sit around collecting dust, when it could pay for itself? Inside the member section, you can download a rental/user agreement form. Target Larger Projects or Opportunities without the exposure. Set up deals with other subs in your area, or region, to work together on a large project. This gives smaller contractors the ability to pool resources to grab large, long term projects. Bulk Ordering – on miscellaneous material items. Within our group, you can combine resources to get further discounts on bulk order. You can always get better pricing when ordering in large quantities, except who wants to have paid materials sitting around for long periods of time, so why not partner up and split the order with another contractor…or 2?

You are now making a commission from us! All your friends have to do is put your FULL NAME in the referral box on the JOIN PAGE when they sign up.
THE MORE MEMBERS WE HAVE, THE MORE WE CAN ACCOMPLISH AS A GROUP! You’re probably asking “why do I have to pay to become a member”? 1. Being a paid site will keep “tire kickers”, DIYers and GCs out of our forums, so that all of us are on the same page. 2. More freedom in the discussion areas. The FREE forums are nice (I belong to a few of them), but they are heavily monitored and you are not allowed to discuss some of the “burning” issues at hand. 3. Know your audience. In our forums, everyone is a subcontractor, just like you. No GCs, engineers, etc. to be worried about that could possibly affect your business relationships. You can be candid. 4. The site marketing, accounting, recruiting of members and vendors can be expensive. Remember, I am a subcontractor myself, just trying to accomplish all the things that I would like to change, too. I have had to hire personnel to handle some of these tasks for me. There are also costs involved in purchasing incidentals like checks and software necessary to process your rebates and referrals. ALL OF THIS FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF 2 TANKS OF GAS IN A YEAR! You have nothing to lose and so much to gain by becoming a part of a cohesive group of people, all in search of the same things: · Make Money · Increase Profit Margins · Increase Revenue · Decrease Overhead Costs · Decrease Liability Exposure · Expand your Company (non-formal Partnerships) · Collective Reasoning with Other Experienced Professionals Stop the bleeding of money into overhead costs! Cut wherever you can and you will be more profitable. It seems the more a company grows, the more liability and outlay of money there is. Most of us see sales increase and a profit decrease. Why take on the headaches for less profit? Here’s a way to help! UNITY = POWER = LOWER OVERHEAD = $$$ PROFIT $$$ Be a part of something that will only benefit you for change. Spread the word, get others to join and there will be NOTHING THAT WE CAN’T ACCOMPLISH AS A GROUP! We are breaking new ground here – basically forming a union of business owners and professionals that will be able to sway the industry both in discounts and protection. Let’s look out for each other instead of always being competitors. AGAIN…You have nothing to lose. Take back the control of your company…If I hear the words “industry standard” one more time, I’m going to flip out. “Who sets the industry standard?” WE DO NOW………………………….. Join Now! |
