Built by Forrest Greeno from G3 Roofing — who got tired of giving away free referrals after 20 years of roofing in Columbus.

“I've been roofing in Columbus for 20 years.
I realized I was sending 40+ referrals a year to electricians, plumbers, and HVAC guys — and never seeing a dime.
So I built this. Now every referral I send gets tracked, and when they close, my cut hits my bank automatically.
No more ‘hey did that work out?’ texts.”

The Morning Math
6:47 AM — Thursday
Your phone buzzes. It's your neighbor.
2 Weeks Later
Danny lands the job. $4,200.
He makes his money. Your neighbor has hot water.
What You Got
A “thanks” text
What You Earned
$0
Here's the Thing
Danny would have gladly paid you $200 for that intro.
That's the industry standard — the “Bird Dog Fee.” You just never asked.
Now multiply that by every referral you've ever made.
Average Contractor Sends 20+ Referrals/Year
That's $3,000 - $5,000 left on the table.
Every. Single. Year.
Dead Simple

We Know What You're Thinking
“Yeah, But...”
We've heard it all. Here's the truth.
What if they don't pay?
The fee is collected when they accept the lead. If the job doesn't close, they don't pay — and neither do you. Zero risk.
What's the catch?
We take 20%. You keep 80%. No monthly fees. No per-lead charges. You only pay when you earn.
Do my subs need an app?
No. They get a text message. They click 'Accept' or 'Decline'. That's the entire workflow. No app, no login required.
How is this different from HomeAdvisor?
HomeAdvisor sells your lead to 5 competitors. We route leads to YOUR trusted network first. Warm intros, not cold form fills.
We Don't Speak "Tech".
We Speak Profit.
Tech Name: Private Graph
Your private network of trusted crews. 'Is he on your Bench?'

Tech Name: Commission
The finder's fee you earn automatically. Industry standard.

The public marketplace for materials and help.
Your Word Has Always Been Money.
Now It Finally Pays Like It.
For 20 years you've built something: A reputation. A network. A name people trust.
Every time someone says “I know a guy,” you ARE that guy.
You're the one they call at 6 AM. The one whose name gets passed around job sites. The one who always comes through.
That trust has value. Real, countable, bankable value.
Trusted Bench doesn't create that value. YOU already created it.
We just make sure you finally get paid for it.
