Trust is the cornerstone of successful customer relationships. Without it, we can go nowhere. Typically, when people invite professionals into their homes—whether for repairs, maintenance, or renovations—they expect a seamless experience where transparency is paramount.

Unfortunately, our artisan industry in Nigeria constantly faces challenges with inconsistent service, unprofessionalism, unclear pricing, unreliable delivery, policy wahala, and many other problems. That's one of the things that has made us wary of trusting service providers.

Transparency, however, is a game-changer. Some people underestimate what it can do. Others find it difficult to pull off. By committing to clear communication, we can turn skepticism into loyalty. For our artisan industry in Nigeria, there's still a lot more work to be done.

Why Transparency Matters

Transparency is not just about sharing information; it’s about fostering an environment where your customers feel informed and involved. They should feel in control of their decisions.

In the home service terrain, it's not news that customers face uncertainties about costs, timelines, and the quality of work they’ll receive. A lack of transparency can lead to frustration, eroding trust and driving customers away.

However, when companies are upfront about their services, costs, and processes, their customers feel empowered to make informed decisions on their own. This also leads to increased satisfaction and confidence in the service provider.

When transparency is prioritized, it creates:

1. Clear Expectations: Customers know what to expect before the job starts—what services will be provided, how long it will take, and what the final cost will be.

2. Trust in Pricing: When pricing is straightforward and consistent, customers can budget accurately. This means no unpleasant surprises when the bill arrives.

3. Customer Loyalty: Transparency strengthens relationships, leading to repeat business and referrals. When you do a good job for me, I'm definitely recommending you to my friends.

wrkman’s Approach to Transparency

If there's anything we've learned since wrkman launched in 2021; it's that trust is earned. We also understand that transparency is key to building that trust.

Our platform was designed with customer confidence in mind, ensuring that every step of the process is clear, from booking a service to job completion.

Here’s how wrkman’s transparent approach is making a difference:

1. Upfront Pricing: No more guesswork. When you book a service through the wrkman app, you can discuss a full price estimate before any work begins. This includes buying of materials and negotiating the wrkmanship. There are no hidden fees or unexpected costs, ensuring peace of mind.

2. Real-Time Job Tracking: With wrkman, you can track the progress of your tasks directly through the app. You can see when the artisan you hire is en route, when the job starts, and when it’s completed. This removes any uncertainty about the service’s status.

3. Verified Reviews:Transparency doesn’t end with the service itself. On the wrkman app, you can read verified reviews from other users about the artisans they are considering. This further helps our users to make informed choices about who enters their home.

4. Direct Communication: You can communicate directly with artisans through the app to clarify any concerns or details before the job begins. In this direct line, our customer service is in the mix to ensure both parties are on the same page.
