'www.MyOnlineToolbox.comis a DELL TOP 10 INNOVATOR that was created by hundreds of tech savvyevolving contractors (specifically in construction, repair andremodeling services) for the most efficient use of the internet to getjobs, track estimates and RFQs, manage the job and get paid. It is anopen Business to Business to Consumer platform. We were provided withhundreds of ideas on how to connect better with the government agenciesbut hit a brick wall when it comes to getting anyone's attention. Seems that most agencies prefer swimming in paperwork and fax machinesfor $25,000 jobs. The government claims they want to innovate yet theycan not promote any products. It's ludicrous, especially when passinghundreds of billions to other entities that have an outdated model thathas no chance of growth. So what can we do? 1) Smaller contractors in repair and remodeling can sign up for our service for Free, then try the collaboration features sharing Request for Quotes or Work Orders with a few of your buddies, then 2)Imagine be the receiver of work from an agency or local government bodysimilar to how you passed work to others in item 1 above. Fromthere, help us promote a better way for the small guy to get his fairshare of rebuilding of America. It seems that the only change thatoccurs is when you speak out.
