The State of the Service Industry in Nigeria

Service is at the core of most of our vital needs.

 

Think about it… the food, healthcare, the fashion industry, and even the communication industry.

Yes… you’re most likely reading this from your smartphone, and when you think about it, it’s someone’s job to ensure your phone connects to the internet when you want to check our blogs for new updates and business tips.

 

This shows how important services are in different areas of our lives. But in Nigeria, and certain parts of Africa, the service industry and –by extension service providers– is still a long way from what it should be. Certain service providers are seen as “inferior” professionals compared to some of their peers in other niches.

 

This view is one reason a lot of service providers are still owed monies from previous projects by clients. In some cases, some of these clients belittle their expertise with statements like…

 

“what’s so difficult about …”,

 

“isn’t it just to manage social media account? my 15-yr old nephew can do it too.”

 

“no be just to nack nail and wood join… why should I pay you #XX, XXX?”.

 

 

And this is one thing we don’t want service providers to face again… this is what birthed the idea of Workstedi.

 

Workstedi allows professionals connect with customers who understand their craft and know the expertise they bring to the table… and how it serves their business.

 

That’s just one part.

 

Thanks to Workstedi’s 3rd party Escrow services, service providers can say goodbye to instances where customers only pay an upfront sum and refuse to balance up even after the contract has been completed.
