Video testimonial | Joseph from Simba Cleaning Services

Hello, I’m Joseph, we run a family-based cleaning business called Simba Cleaning Services.

We do all aspects of domestic and commercial cleaning. Being trained as a microbiologist,  I understand the essence of cleaning. We use eco-friendly detergents to make every home and office clean and germ-free, it’s the cleaning and also total disinfection.

Joseph, the owner and operator of Simba Cleaning Services.

Marketing in every business is major. I needed marketing but the channels and platforms I was using weren’t giving me exactly what I required.  I wasn’t getting that correspondence, I was not getting that support to build my young business. Until I got Oneflare, where I was given products, that were useful for my business I was given a dedicated account manager who held my hands and I can say held my hand is a toddler to where I am now, my business has grown through to Oneflare. 

Seventy-five per cent of my leads come from Oneflare, which makes me think this is really an investment. Customers can see us on the Oneflare platform and contact us and that is also because of the reviews that are published on Oneflare. The app is very user friendly because if I am so busy doing some work,  I can just put on the auto quoting feature and when my hands are free, I just need to go to the app and go to the messages. I believe this is a product that is going to take your business to the next level. I have seen where Oneflare has taken me, to where we are today in a span of 2 years. Try it, you will not regret it, it’s worth it.

Video testimonial | Natalie from EventZen

Meet Natalie, a vibrant event planner and celebrant who has thrived on Oneflare.

My name is Natalie and I have a business called EventZen. I am a wedding, events planner and celebrant. I decided to become a celebrant because I love, love. There is a lot of joy surrounding weddings, there is a lot of stress too but I come in because I don’t want people to feel that stress. I like it to be a nice relaxed environment for them to enjoy the planning process.

Oneflare has made it really easy for me. I don’t think about marketing because I know I’ve got Oneflare there. I find it hard to work on marketing when I’d much rather be planning weddings and it’s difficult to get your business out there so Oneflare has been great. It’s brought the right clients to me at the right time. I would say about 80% of my clients come from Oneflare, which is amazing. I have so many leads come in every day and I’ve been led to some incredible clients, there have been some really amazing people that I’ve met. 

I like I quickly you get emails and texts when a lead comes up. I also love that the reviews are there and the reviews are taken from Google as well. The advice I would give to anyone wanting to try Oneflare is to absolutely go for it. It’s amazing how quickly you get the jobs and it pays for itself straight away so it’s totally worth it.

Success story | Wayne from WM Painting

Here we share Wayne’s story

Wayne has worked in the painting industry for over 20 years. In the beginning, he worked full-time for large companies, and on the weekends he would work privately to supplement his income for things like family holidays. Wayne’s skill and experience in the larger companies landed him as site supervisor,  where he continued to grow his industry knowledge and people management skills. 

After many years, he realised he had the experience to run his own business and more importantly, be his own boss. In 2015, Wayne had a good amount of clients from his weekend work to feel confident enough to start building his business, W&M Painting. 5 years on, Wayne grew to a team of 3 and managed to simultaneously run up to 3 jobs in different locations all across Brisbane and surrounding areas.

Challenges before Oneflare

As a first-time small business owner, Wayne “wasn’t sure how to get himself out there”. He started by hiring a designer to create a website but later found out about the need for search engine optimisation (SEO), a task that is complex and expensive to maintain. 

Wayne needed more avenues to find leads and more ways to secure work. He understood that he needed to invest in a service platform like Oneflare to find these opportunities. 

Experience on Oneflare

Since joining Oneflare over 4 years ago, Wayne has managed to build his business and employ a team of painters, all without having to think about marketing or SEO. The volume of leads brought to Wayne by Oneflare has been great enough to sustain steady business growth for W&M Painting. He recently received a 2021 Service Award, an accolade that has attributed to an even greater demand for his services. 

Results on Oneflare

W&M Painting Services now has 

  • A stellar 5-star review rating 
  • Steady, high-quality leads
  • A team of professional painters with the ability to service 3 jobs at once 
  • The freedom to choose the type of clients, jobs and locations to service

Wayne’s advice for any business looking to sign up with Oneflare is: “To get yourself out there, you need a platform. Oneflare is like a trampoline to getting yourself out there”

Video testimonial | Alex from GT Plumbing

Learn about Alex’s journey with Oneflare, how together we’ve achieved great things for his small Aussie business.

My name is Alex and I’m the owner of GT Plumbing. I’m basically here to provide a very high-level service to our customers. What I love about being a plumber is it’s a continuation of helping people. You’ve got a set of skills and when you really good at it then it’s easy and you make things look easy.  I enjoy getting up every single day. It’s what I always want to do. 

Everyone helps and everyone needs honesty and everyone needs someone that’s going to be genuine with them and we’re here for honesty. I’ve been on Oneflare for about 3 years, 3 years running strong. We’ve used other platforms but the support around the other platforms are not there. They’re more about the sales, more about numbers, whereas Oneflare is more about your relationship. 

Oneflare provides you with all the analytics that you need, they give you live date updates, they can even tell you how many people actually looked at your profile and how many people actually reached out to you or made a phone call. You don’t get that information elsewhere and if you do, you got to chase it. This is zero effort. 

Because we’re on Oneflare, we don’t have a Google presence. There’s no need for it. Oneflare will manage the reviews honestly and they’ll vet it honestly. So you’re not going to have your competition come along and then give you a really bad rating when the customer is not verified. I’m sorry but Google does not do that, Oneflare does. This is a really big benefit, so you are going to get genuine reviews. We’ve got 131 reviews at the moment, the majority are 5-star, they’ll go look for that review and say ok these guys have amazing reviews and we’ll get direct phone calls coming through.

You want to be spending the time on the tools and time with the customers and making the money and the more time you spend off the tools you’re not making any money. So Oneflare will help you. It’s a very good platform to come in, build your customer base up, keep working and also make it presents online. It’ll work really well.

Video testimonial | Georgio from Gerain Group

Watch how Oneflare has helped Georgio find 80% of his customers.

The Gerain Group story… we started work in 2017 and we are a home renovation company specialising in bathrooms, kitchens and home modifications.  There are a lot of horror stories we hear of clients that cannot find a reliable builder and that is where we want to step in.
We intend to be very honest with our clients from the beginning to the end of the project as well as we are a very family orientated company. 

The challenges faced prior to joining Oneflare was that a lot of companies we engaged for marketing and sourcing out work were just after capital and quantity of members on their platform.  The good thing about Oneflare is that you get paired up with an Account manager.  The best thing about that is if any questions or any queries about where your business is heading that account manager will be able to help you with that. 

The benefit of using the Oneflare app is that you don’t need to be waiting for that one phone call to come through for you to find a job. For all our leads, I’ll say that 75 to 80% of our leads that we generate are from Oneflare.  You get a push notification when a new job pops up and you have the option to click quote and go and meet the client. I find that to be such a great way of expanding your business. 

The next best thing about using the Oneflare app is that you can target certain specific areas.  Now for us we like the service all of New South Wales, we are actually in the process of opening up a division in Queensland so hopefully, Oneflare can help us out there. I meet trades every day that are looking for new work and that are struggling to get that phone call and I always recommend Oneflare. Oneflare will and has helped my company and will help your company as well.

Video testimonial | Saurabh from Supportsoft Technologies

See how Oneflare has helped Supportsoft land big clients like NSW Health and Centrelink.

My name is Saurabh Bhatt and this is my business partner Sandeep Singh. At Supportsoft we provide all kinds of IT services, like server maintenance, software development, software applications, database applications. Today, we are dealing with clients like NSW Health, Centrelink, Medicare, clients dealing with universities all across and Science Labs. 

We both started the company back in 2014 initially under a different name, and then, later on, we moved to Supportsoft Technologies. As a business starting off with no background in marketing, it’s difficult, you just can’t do it. Either you pay a consultant a hefty fee every month to do it or you do it yourself and trust me I was not able to do it either way.

The most challenging part of any industry is getting genuine customers, we spent a lot of money on Facebook and on Google ads as well, the problem was we were not getting genuine leads, genuine enquiries or genuine customers.

We haven’t seen this problem with Oneflare. I have been using Oneflare every month, every day, in fact from 7 a.m. since I start getting leads, until the time I sleep at 11 p.m. Getting quality leads and the leads that I want. It’s not just small leads we are getting, in fact big, the kind of leads I’m talking about today is NSW Health, government leads and large clients, all have come from Oneflare. 

On Oneflare if take a lead and I’m not able to contact the customer contact of x,y, z reason, Oneflare simply refund my money.  Which is very vital for a business like ours, in the budding stage because we can’t afford to spend money on something which is not usable for us. Oneflare as a business has made sure that our money is not being wasted. We have auto quoting set up, which I really like. Being a premium customer, we enjoy this facility wherein, let’s say if we are sleeping and they’re customers out there who put the jobs up at 3 am in the night, we don’t lose out on those deals. 

There are heaps of clients looking for long term relationships and I’m talking from government and universities and large clients, who can be with you for 5 years contracts and 10-year contracts. I can admit being a client of Oneflare we have achieved it, so yes I think if you think that Oneflare is only going to provide small leads, that’s not true, I have obtained big numbers from them.

Success story | Alison from Alison Pringle CMC

Here we share Alison’s story

It all began in 2017 when Alison became a registered celebrant. Her background in the corporate sector, leading large groups and functions, made this an easy transition. Her main motivation behind becoming a celebrant wasn’t to start a business but simply to marry her loved ones, family and friends.

From this close-knit circle, Alison began to get referrals and job requests from mutual friends and connections. Naturally, her work began to grow and so did her customer base. In 2021, Alison decided to commit to newly engaged couples and make herself available as a celebrant beyond her network. She understood the way COVID-19 impacted couples and weddings and wanted to help create happily ever afters, at a reasonable price that catered for the different environment. 

From here, she officially became Alison Pringle CMC.

Challenges before Oneflare

Alison began her search for quality customers and joined three different lead generation service platforms. She hoped to find regular, genuine leads, but after some time, received an underwhelming amount of leads, which never generated profitable work. 

Being new to the celebrant scene made it difficult, especially during the pandemic. Alison offers remote and face-to-face meetings, to offer her customers the best possible service. However, she still needed to get her new business out in the market to build her brand. 

Experience on Oneflare 

Alison found Oneflare to be a user-friendly and effective lead generation tool. The capabilities of the platform make it very easy for her to engage with customers. She has set up communication templates that help her respond quickly and easily to leads when she is out of the office. This feature ensures that she connects with potential customers via email and SMS to make the most out of each opportunity. 

For Alison, the support from Oneflare has been great, and the genuine customer guarantee gives her peace of mind. She knows that if a customer has not interacted with their job request and has not responded to her quote, she will be refunded any credits spent on them.  

“Oneflare has provided more leads and weddings than I can manage. There are times I don’t quote as I am already booked.”

Results on Oneflare

Alison Pringle CMC now has 

  • A stellar 5-star rating 
  • Steady, high-quality leads
  • A thriving new business

Alison’s advice for any business looking to sign up with Oneflare is: “Do it, it will work if you take the direction they give you

Video testimonial | Peter from Prestige Australian Financial Services

See how Peter had grown his finance business with quality Oneflare leads.

Hi, I’m Peter, I’m the founder of Prestige Australian Financial Services. Our main mission is to help people build wealth and pay the least amount of tax that they legally have to. Predominantly, we’re an accounting and tax-based business but we offer our clients a lot more than that.What we’re trying to do is focus on two main things, the first one is to help our clients build wealth for themselves and their families. The second is to have them pay the least amount of tax they have to.

The biggest challenge that most businesses face is generating enough income, you’ve always got good ideas and many things you want to do and try different things. It got to a point where that kind of print advertising in mailboxes stopped working. That’s when I started looking for something else to bring in a large volume and good quality leads. That’s where Oneflare really fit in well.  It was less work, so we knew that the people that were on the Oneflare site were looking for the products that we had to offer. 

We’re able to set parameters inside the app on Oneflare saying what income level we wanted to deal with, where they were located, whether they wanted virtual or actual services. Being able to streamline things like that, we were getting just high-quality leads that were so much easier for us to onboard into our business. Our job is to make our clients wealthier and the thing that makes that happen the best is that we’re able to service them really well. 

The service we get from Oneflare,  it’s really first-class. They’re fast,  I never had a problem and I walked away thinking we didn’t reach the solution that I wanted to reach on that. We’ve always got to the point where I thought, this is a great solution for us.

Video testimonial | Eric from E Team Removals

Watch how Oneflare has helped Eric and his team find constant, quality leads.

My name is Eric and I’m the director of E Team Removals.  I run the business solely and predominantly by myself. The reason I joined as a removalist is that I had a medical issue, a motorbike accident. But you know what, I wouldn’t change it for the world. I love removals, I’m passionate about what I do because moving is a very stressful part of your life. 

When you first start in any business, it’s going to be hard, treacherous, with lots of financial factors. To find customers was very very hard so we got onto Oneflare and signed up on a package deal. Promoting the idea of generating more leads, generating more customers and basically like a marketing tool for us. It helped us exponentially, tapping into a wider audience and network of customers. There are a lot of features on Oneflare, it’s quick, it’s convenient, it gives you notifications when leads are coming through.

Auto quoting gives you the opportunity to speed up the process. When you’re on the run you working as a removalist you got no time, time is your enemy. So you know what the functionality makes it a lot easier.  Everything about Oneflare, obviously they’ve built a very good platform, very good relationships, they are always there listening to what I have to say, my feedback, my ideas, supporting us with all the mechanisms required to grow our business.

I highly recommend Oneflare for tradies to grow their business, grow their customer base and most importantly grow their income.

Video testimonial | Paul from Trade Pacific Legal

See how Oneflare helped this Solicitor grow his business through lockdown.


Hi I’m Paul Dabauh, principal and founding partner at Pacific Trade Legal. After a decade in the industry, in 2019, we opened our law firm in Sydney. We recognised a need to become efficient and effective in the delivery of online legal services. Pacific Trade Legal enjoy helping customers buy and sell their property. Sometimes it’s a first home purchase sometimes it’s an investment, we try to make this process the most efficient and stress-free as possible. 

We started with Oneflare in 2020,  we found it to be a great tool to connect with customers, particularly online customers which is an emerging trend in the market.  The good thing is you can decide which plan works for you. We’re a featured business that allows us to stand out in our industry, you can see exactly how the client is in need and how you can assist by responding to the customer directly. It’s a very effective way to connect with our customers online.

One of the features we love about Oneflare is the account manager and having somebody actually there to assist. That’s an added tool that we find very helpful as it gives us more time to give back to our customers and allows us to have a personalised experience with the platform itself.

Oneflare is a vibrant online community with many opportunities to connect with a diverse range of customers. Give it a try you’ll be surprised who you connect with and how easy it is to get started.
