Winning more public work orders on HeyPros comes down to standing out from other subs and showing hiring companies that you are reliable, professional, and ready to work. Every bid is an opportunity to make a first impression, so take the time to be clear, detailed, and personable.
Here are a few ways to increase your chances of getting hired.
1. Write a complete and professional bid
When you submit a bid, include more than just a number. Hiring companies want to understand what your price covers so they can compare bids fairly. A short breakdown builds trust and makes you look organized.
Try listing:
Labor costs (for example, “two painters for two days”)
Materials you plan to provide
Equipment or special tools included
Timeline for starting and completing the job
This kind of detail shows that you understand the scope of work and have experience pricing jobs accurately.
2. Add a short personal message with your offer
Along with your price, write a brief message to introduce yourself. It only needs to be a few sentences, but it can make a big difference.
For example:
“Hi, my name is Carlos. I’ve been doing drywall and interior paint for 12 years. I can start Tuesday and will make sure the site is cleaned before I leave each day. Let me know if you’d like photos of recent projects.”
That simple personal touch helps your bid stand out and reminds the GC that there’s a real professional behind the number.
3. Add as much information to your HeyPros profile as possible
A complete profile makes companies more confident when choosing between multiple offers. Make sure your HeyPros account includes:
A clear profile photo (it helps build trust)
A company name or trade name if you have one
Your primary trade and states where you work
Work photos from previous projects
Any certifications or licenses you hold
GCs use your profile to see who they’re hiring. The more complete it is, the more likely you are to get picked.
4. Keep your app notifications on and respond quickly
Jobs on HeyPros move fast. Public work orders can receive multiple bids in the first few hours after posting. Keep your app notifications on so you never miss new opportunities or updates on your active bids.
Quick responses show professionalism and increase your chances of being awarded work.
5. Be consistent
Many companies post work regularly. Even if you don’t win every bid, keep submitting offers and updating your profile. Most subs who stay active for a few weeks begin to see repeat offers and build relationships with multiple GCs.
In short
Winning more jobs on HeyPros is about showing hiring companies that you’re professional, experienced, and dependable.
Submit detailed bids that explain your pricing

Each of these small steps builds credibility and helps you turn more bids into real work.
