Five bucks to talk. That's it. That's the price.
FiveToTalk is a local job board. Customers post jobs for free. Local pros pay one flat $5 to talk to the customer — and keep every dollar of the job itself.
No percentages. No per-trade price games. No paying $13 just to hear somebody say no.
How it works — for customers
- Post your job. What you need, what town, when. Takes two minutes. Costs nothing.
- Pros come to you. Local pros look at the job. The ones who want it pay $5 to unlock your number. Your name, phone, and address stay hidden until then.
- You talk and pick. Talk to one pro or a few, get your prices, hire who you want. You never pay FiveToTalk a dime.
How it works — for pros
- Browse jobs free. Every job on the board — trade, town, size, the customer's own words — costs nothing to look at.
- Pay $5 to talk. Flat. Every trade, every job size. That unlocks the customer's contact info and you talk direct, by text or phone, like normal.
- Keep 100% of the job. A $300 job pays you $300. A $3,000 job pays you $3,000. FiveToTalk already got its five. There is no second fee.
The rules. Plain and in the open.
- Flat $5. Every trade, every job size. A junk pickup costs the same to unlock as a whole-house cleanout. The price never changes because a job looks big.
- A real "no" still counts as a talk. If the customer answers and talks to you, the $5 stays — you got the talk you paid for, even if they hire somebody else.
- A ghost gets your $5 back. If the customer never answers at all — no reply, nothing — the $5 comes back to you as credit toward your next unlock.
- Fake posts get killed and refunded. A scam or fake job post gets pulled, and every pro who paid to unlock it gets the $5 back.
- Reviews only come from real talks. A customer can only review a pro they actually talked to. No fake reviews, no drive-bys.
- No auto-pay traps. No auto-buying leads, no sneaky subscriptions. Money only moves when a pro taps "pay $5." That's the only way it moves.

Built and run from Fletcher, North Carolina
FiveToTalk was built by Chris Womack — owner of Womack Hauling here in Fletcher — after paying $13.29 to a national app for one lead that went nowhere. His own crews work this board: when a job posts in Hendersonville or Fletcher, Womack Hauling is one of the crews that can answer it.
It is not a call center and not a franchise. Every post is screened by automatic checks before it goes on the board, fakes get pulled, and the refund rules are written into the system — they fire on their own, no phone call needed. Questions go to one inbox, and a person reads it the same day.
Why this exists
The big national boards charge local pros like they're in Los Angeles — one app just charged $13.29 for a single lead, billed the second the customer replied at all, even to say no. FiveToTalk is the local answer: working trades, one flat price, and the rules above fire on their own — the ghost credit and the fake-post refund are automatic, no phone call and no arguing with a support script.
