Our Story

A few years ago, Chris was running a removals business on the Tweed Coast. Different industry, but the exact same reality tradies live every day: you’re on the job, your hands are full, the phone keeps ringing… and the best leads can slip through the cracks.

We had enquiries coming from everywhere : Google, Facebook, referrals, but follow-ups and bookings were messy. Some people would call once, we’d miss it, and they’d book someone else within 10 minutes. Not because we weren’t good at what we did, but because we couldn’t reply fast enough while actually doing the work.

That’s when we realised: most tradies and service businesses don’t need more leads… they need a system that makes sure they don’t lose the ones they already get.

So we built JobMates, a simple “behind-the-scenes” setup that helps tradies win more jobs without being glued to their phone.

Not Just Another "Marketing Service"

Why JobMates Actually Works

Built for Missed Call & Follow-Ups

Most websites look fine but don't reply when someone rings. Ours are built around instant text-backs and follow-up, so leads don't go cold while you're on the tools.

We Fix Response, Not "Marketing"

You don't need more platforms or logins. You need people to hear back fast. Everything we build is focused on speed, engagement, and actually booking jobs.

Done For You. Go Live in 7 Days.

No DIY. No learning curve. We build the site, set up the automations, and test everything ourselves. Most clients go live within a single week.

No Contracts. Stay Because It Works.

You’re free to walk at any time. Most don’t, because the system keeps following up, booking jobs, and making you money while you’re working.

Built for Tradies, Not Agencies

This isn't software made for marketers and "customised" for tradies. It's built specifically around how calls, texts, and quotes actually work in the industry.

One Job Pays for It

You don't need a big return to justify this. One extra job a month usually covers the cost, everything after that is pure upside you wouldn't have had.

Never Lose Another Job Again

No contracts. No setup fees. Live in 7 days. Cancel any time.

JobMates helps you capture leads, send quotes faster, manage jobs, get paid, and stay on top of every move. All in one place.
