Be a BigBenta Service Provider – Now!

A critical component of BigBenta Marketplace is SERVICES. Attempting and trumpeting to help the MSMEs falls short of the promise without helping entrepreneurs and companies who render services and offer their skills instead of products to the market.  In BigBenta Marketplace, there are as many registered Service Providers as there are Online Stores. This shows that there is an equal share, or even a greater number of Filipino entrepreneurs who are in the market to offer their skills.

Everyone has a skill. This can come in the form of tutoring, event management, home repair, beauty and wellness, and business support services. And the list definitely does not end here. Since its launch, BigBenta Services has enlisted close to 500 service providers with various skills, different competency levels and service fees, and different geographical areas to service. But one thing is common among these service entrepreneurs: they don’t have the technical capability and don’t have much time to do the task of setting up an online presence.

When BigBenta Services was first introduced, there was some hesitation because of requirements that the company asked for : profile photos, complete personal write-up, and other documents. There were some who were not comfortable sharing their photos and didn’t have the writing skills to do a personal profile. Even if the platform was offered free of use, these hurdles proved difficult especially for blue-collar service providers. Instead of viewing it as a chance to expand their reach, they shied away and would much rather forego the opportunity than thread on unfamiliar ground.

BigBenta.com’s solution was to make it EASY and NON-INTIMIDATING. It did away with the profile photos and instead created avatars to match every possible persona. It also assigned a customer service staff to call on each interested party to ask questions and work collaboratively in creating a personal profile. Lastly, it made the process as simple as 123 that can be done ON-THE-GO with a mobile phone!
