Mission & Summary
What is JobSite123?
Mission & Value Proposition
JobSite123.com's mission is to become the free repository of choice for all commercial construction related companies to showcase their current qualifications and industry relationships. The ultimate power of JobSite123.com is derived from easy 24/7 access to our web-based repository through a customized search engine made available to the entire buy-sell-recommend chain. Instead of everyone requesting and exchanging this information inefficiently on a "one-to-one" basis, JobSite123.com allows everyone to post, maintain and access our industry's most commonly requested information on a "one-to-many" basis. The result is a powerful qualifications tool with much improved efficiencies and risk management for industry buyers, while doubling as a powerful marketing tool for industry sellers.
Companies create and maintain information in their own Qual-Port™ - a standardized profiling system that was specifically designed to meet the unique resource management and qualification demands of our industry. Qual-Ports™ are the most comprehensive open-profiling system currently available on the internet, and far more comprehensive than most individual company websites. Internet users can find and access JobSite123.com Qual-Ports™ in several ways:
- Search by Company Name within JobSite123.com
- Search by U.S. County & CSI MasterFormat™ codes (and other options) within JobSite123.com
- Direct link to a friendly URL from any web browser: http://www.jobsite123.com/companyname
- Organic keyword search from all search engines on the internet
As more and more companies create and maintain their Qual-Ports™ within JobSite123.com, the visible landscape of available resources in every location grows. And more importantly, as each company requests and displays their Industry Connections and Client Performance Ratings, the network of trusted relationships in every potential jobsite location is revealed for the benefit of project owners, facilities manager, owner's representatives and general contractors.

How can it help promote my company?
JobSite123® will leverage your hard-earned reputation.
In the commercial construction industry, most successful companies increase sales and grow their businesses by a combination of the following proven marketing strategies:
- Nurturing relationships within their local network of industry contacts
- Seeking referrals from existing clients
- Seeking supportive recommendations from peers and colleagues
Because we come from the industry ourselves, we know these methods are the most successful ones, and for many good reasons. So we built a system on the Internet that amplifies and supports these proven methods.
Here are 2 examples:
- JobSite123® allows you to showcase all of your industry connections. Let's say you have 40 peers or colleagues within your local market. You are confident that they would all be more than happy to say good things about your company, if they were asked. Or they would readily express that they have had success working alongside you in the industry. You can send them a request an industry connection and (if they accept) you will be featured in each other's Qual-Ports™. You have now increased your exposure 40 times within our search engine.
- JobSite123® allows you to request ratings and testimonials from existing clients, so that prospective new clients can see them without having to ask for them. Therefore, your existing client referrals and recommendations will be hard at work for you 24/7.

Why did you build it?
We want to help our industry save time and money.
JobSite123® was conceived and built by commercial construction industry professionals who have personally experienced the painfully inefficient ways in which we have previously exchanged qualifications related information between buyers, sellers and recommenders. We were determined to leverage the power of the internet to streamline the exchange of this information in real time, AND build a search engine around that information using search criteria that makes sense for our industry.
Why now? Is our industry ready?
We have no choice - because the Internet dominates information delivery.
- The math is simple. The number of construction industry professionals who desire to use the Internet when looking for information is now greater than the number who do not use the Internet. More importantly, that desire has turned into an expectation.
- Our industry must adopt a common system - a repository of choice - so that we are not forced to waste time and money entering the information or searching for the information in multiple places which defeats the purpose.
