New, Free Website Links California Consumers with Service Pros in Everything from Construction to Babysitting
Are you familiar with the age-old problem of trying to find good help? Youre not alone.
(PRWEB) April 6, 2005 -- If you live in Northern California, pay a visit to www.servicesagent.com and you will see why this unique website might be the next revolution in business-to-consumer communications. This free web service is where you find good help you can trust -- quickly, simply and economically.
Say you have a contract job available for home repairs, but dont have the inclination to plow your way through the Yellow Pages in search of a laborer capable of completing the job on time and on budget. At ServicesAgent.com, just enter the details of the project through common text fields and easy-to-navigate dropdown menus, post any sample pictures of the project and enter the area dimensions. Next, a service professional bids on your Request for Quote. You view the bids, select the one that best suits your needs and then both you and the service professional are given access to contact one another.
Some of the jobs youll find posted on our site include home improvements, housecleaning, babysitting, landscaping and catering, among others," explained Noel Rodriguez, one of three Bay Area-based graduate students who created the site. If a service youre looking for isnt there, you can add a new service listing and we do the research to find a service provider in that area. We also leverage a network of service providers who routinely bid on projects and the customer decides who to work with based on the service providers profile. You can sit back and relax while ServicesAgent does the shopping for you."
But perhaps the most unique feature to this site is the WOM or Word-of-Mouth score. In much the same way eBay helps buyers evaluate the trustworthiness of sellers through a referral rating system, ServicesAgent.com utilizes the WOM score to assist consumers in making an informed decision when hiring a service professional. The higher that professionals WOM score, the more referrals he or she has received through contracting jobs via the website. This special feature is just one of the ways ServicesAgent.com is helping consumers find good help.
And for the service professional, the Services Showcase link allows you to design your own webpage in minutes through ServicesAgents easy-to-use template, complete with your WOM score, project details and pictures in order to help your organization promote itself and gain more business.
Service providers also benefit from ServicesAgent.com because it gives them an online presence and lets them select projects that match their delivery capabilities," noted Gerardo Galvan, another partner in the company. Since we launched officially last December, we have been really successful in signing up new members and customers have expressed their pleasure with the quality of the vendors and the work they performed. To reward service providers who do a good job, we assign the WOM score and this helps the customer make a more informed decision.
Bridging the gap between customers and service providers is what ServicesAgent is all about," he added.
Customers are already recognizing the power of ServicesAgent.com to reduce the time, complexity and pure frustration of finding the right person to do the job.
As a nurse working 12 hours in ICU, I do not have time in my busy schedule to spend searching, calling and making appointments with contractors for my home projects," said Anna, a recent customer. I had a heritage tree removed from my front yard using Services Agent. The process was simple -- I submitted my request for a quote with pictures and within days I received five bids for my project. I saved time and money and the project was done effortlessly."
Service providers also rave about how easy the site makes communicating with potential customers. I enjoyed the job as well as the site and it all worked out great," said Mark.
