Business listing for their postcode of registration is free. This is especially beneficial to businesses that operate a sale cum service business.

  • ProFinder.com will also drive jobs local, as local businesses will be able to provide more economical bids than businesses located at a distance.

However, all businesses will receive market feedback on the bids provided which will help them to improve bid performance and also get access to customer feedback on each service provided, which they can use to improve the quality of their service and become future winners!

ProFinder.com.au - a world first service of its kind!

No!ProFinder.com.au is not like other sites that make lead generation sound like a quick, time saving automated process but really only provide a ‘reverse directory’ that only marginally alleviates the struggles faced by both businesses and consumers, in the procurement and supply of sought after products and services.

With existing online sites, consumers still don’t know whether they are getting the best deal available, as most lead generating sites provide leads to businesses that pay the highest lead fees. This entails passing the costs on to consumers and all while not guaranteeing the job for the business either - a lose-lose scenario. So as far as consumers are concerned ‘value for money’ is not something they can expect with these sites.

Businesses not only have to pay high lead fees, but also have to spend a lot of time dealing with tyre-kickers, and customer enquiries and as we all know, time is money. This means businesses are losing out twice as much and are still not assured for a definite sale, something that they find very frustrating!

ProFinder’s solutions deal with all the frustrations faced by both consumers and businesses and is available for free where it most counts. Consumers get to use the services for free and businesses only have to pay a small administration fee for access to the platform after which they are provided with virtually unlimited, free leads from their chosen territory. Only if a business wins a bid are they charged a nominal and fair success fee, which they will be happy to pay as a commission towards winning a job.

Fees on ProFinder will range between 0.5% to 5% on a regressive system, reducing as the order value increases, making it very attractive for businesses to use ProFinder as their preferred provider of leads from ‘purchase ready’ consumers; consumers - who would prefer the convenience offered by ProFinder to any other online or offline service!

ProMembers get greater value at a fraction of their usual marketing spend!

  • GalaxC.com helps businesses who are ProMembers –
  • To get access to virtually unlimited, free qualified leads from ‘purchase ready’ customers.
  • To get instant Lead Alerts for Quote Requests from customers looking for their services for the chosen territory in their online business account dashboard or mobile phone.
  • With the flexibility to choose the types of services, customers and territories that they wish to provide their products and services to for market segmentation.
  • To get bookings/sale, not just leads, with quicker turnarounds and get more job orders to increase revenues and profits.
  • To avoid creating websites and related costs of SEO, PPC etc.
  • By making it possible for top rated, quality providers to win repeat business and also charge a premium for their services and products.
  • To get maximum possible Return on Investment and focus on their core business activity by working smarter not harder.
  • Get a marketing, advertising, customer service team without the high costs.
  • One month free access to the GalaxC platform and an additional two months access for referring two other businesses to become GalaxC ProMembers. No success fee to be paid for the first order won on GalaxC.com a better lifestyle!

Committed Quotes and Queries

GalaxC.com offers you two alternatives when placing a request for quote. ·Obligatory Quote (OBQ): If you need a job done urgently and have all the information required to proceed with the buying/hiring you can choose the Obligatory Quote option.

The advantage of using this option is that you will have many more providers participating and providing their best quotes as each provider gets only one opportunity to provide his best quote before the quote deadline and as this is done privately, they do not have information of the bids provided by other businesses.

The bids are compared and ranked by the system based on your preferences set by you for price, quality and delivery times with the first one matching your preferences the best for your easy selection. Clicking the button automatically notifies the business with the winning bid for his acceptance and scheduling of the job at the time set by you.It cannot get any simpler or easier to get what you want and the best deal.

·Non-Obligatory Quote (NOBQ) for Queries: You can choose the Non Obligatory Quote option by which you can get approximate quotes for any product or service. Since this will be mainly a query you may get weaker participation from the more busy and quality providers. Also on GalaxC.com businesses get the option of not receiving leads for enquiries and only get requests for quotes from ‘purchase ready’ consumers.

You may however find the value for money that the system offers too good, when seeking a non-obligatory quote to not immediately proceed with placing the order and save yourself time doing it again, even though it is easily done! On GalaxC it will pay off to have all facts and homework done, so you can get the best quotes for exactly what you are looking for and get the best outcome and value for money 24/7!

ProFinder.com.au - ' A World First technology that Consumers can finally depend on'.

 

ProFinder provides customers with offers from businesses that are exactly matched to the information provided in their request.  Also, these offers will be received by the customer via mobile alerts at the time requested in their quote from businesses in the suburb or area that they have nominated. Additionally, to help with quick decision making all offers received will be compared and ranked based on the customer’s desired preferences. On selecting or short-listing of the business, the winning businesses, will confirm acceptance and booking of the product or service delivery will take place.  Both customers and businesses are winning as neither the customers pay to use this service nor do the businesses pay to get leads from the platform.  The allocation of time to businesses for giving their offers in real-time as well as to customers to select the winning business makes the platform super-efficient and powerful in achieving timely outcomes and saves them both time and money.   

On existing online sites, consumers spend a lot of time ringing around, reviewing data which may not have integrity and this delays the process by days if not weeks.  On ProFinder which is powered by GalaxC’s automated engine, for urgent requests, customers can book appointments within minutes of the request with businesses who have agreed to provide urgent offers on the platform. Also as the platform promotes ranking of all offers by value rather than price, high quality businesses can expect to get their price and don’t have to serve customers who are focussed on price alone, as these businesses will receive offers from customers who are focussed on high quality rather than price alone.    

Also, as most lead generating sites charge for leads to businesses even when they are not selected by the customer these businesses are left out-of-pocket and unhappy with the advertising and marketing costs.  All such costs are ultimately charged to customers they may win or absorbed by the business reducing their revenues.  On ProFinder, businesses can save on these advertising and marketing costs and will be charged a reasonable fee only on being selected by the customer.

ProFinder’s automated platform has been built to overcome frustrations faced by both customers and businesses. Customers get free memberships and use the platform for free and businesses can get free listings and free leads, making this platform attractive for booking product and services quickly, efficiently and economically.
