Why you need it
Your work speaks for itself.
Start presenting it properly.
Your Facebook profile tells part of the story, and your website quickly goes out of date. Handshakes brings your skills and experience together so contractors, employers and customers can trust what you do.
Stand out from the competition
Real projects and verified reviews separate you from the rest before a contractor or customer picks up the phone.
Sell yourself better
Send one link instead of explaining what you do every time. Contractors, employers and customers look, like what they see, and get in touch.
Own your reputation
Word of mouth gets you noticed and your Handshakes profile backs it up, shared by those who rate you highly.

"My profile does the selling for me. I send one link and customers know everything about me. Before, I'd spend ages explaining what I do, sending photos and trying to convince them to book a time for me to quote. Now I just share the link and it does the talking for me."
