ImproveNet Adds New Phone Capabilities to Its Service Provider Network
Scottsdale, Ariz. (March 11, 2005) – ImproveNet, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: IMPV), a leading home improvement network of choice for consumers, home improvement service providers and manufacturers, has made another stride in its on-going effort to meet the business needs of its valued home improvement service providers. Since 1996, ImproveNet has been providing reliable home improvement service requests to its network of service providers through its website www.improvenet.com. Now with the introduction of the new ImproveNetPRO phone service, the same home improvement project requests are now accessible from any touch-tone phone.
"We have always provided our members with the ability to receive homeowner project information through fax, email, and our user-friendly ImproveNetPRO website. Now with the introduction of our latest text-to-voice technology, our members will be able to receive the project information by calling into our TrueMatch platform using their telephone," said Homayoon Farsi, president of ImproveNet. "We are always striving to give our members and affiliates more options to access business opportunities with complete flexibility and ease of use."
ImproveNet’s new phone service is designed to better accommodate the busy lifestyle of ImproveNet home improvement service providers. By simply dialing 1-877-749-1185, service providers can retrieve and accept service requests while on location or traveling between jobsites. After retrieving their requests, back-up copies of the project leads accepted are immediately sent via fax or via e-mail, and noted on the service provider’s ImproveNetPRO account. The details of each project lead are then readily available for contacting the homeowner and seeking to win the project. Now ImproveNet service providers are able to accept home improvement service requests anytime, anywhere, without the need of a computer or fax machine. Enabling service providers to remain in the field while retrieving project leads, this new development is expected to facilitate higher productivity for ImproveNet service providers and, in turn, an increased level of customer satisfaction.
"Business at ImproveNet is thriving, and we have the loyal patronage of our network of home improvement service providers to thank," explains Jeffrey Rassas, CEO of ImproveNet. "We have added this convenient, new service to help make it easier than ever for dedicated ImproveNetPRO members to access our qualified project leads. By simplifying the task of accessing service requests, we are facilitating higher levels of productivity in the field."
This new development comes at a time of great celebration for ImproveNet, as the company recently reached the key milestone of processing its one-millionth service request. The incorporation of the new ImproveNetPRO phone service into its business process is expected to facilitate an increasing daily acceptance of service requests. The company anticipates a continuing trend in expansion of its service offerings to better serve the home improvement industry.
