How Crafty Changed Pete's Life
My entry into the @originalworks sponsored Crafty contest. You can find contest post here
Picking up his toolbox with a bit of relief, Pete rushed down to the service office to receive his weekly service fee.
He was welcomed with a long queue but that didn't take his smile away as the prize at the end of the queue as appealing.
He dropped the toolbox on the bench outside as he rushed in frantically to join the queue.
Couple of minutes later, Pete comes out of the service office with the most sulken face you'd ever see.
Service Co. (This is fictional and not directed at any stated body. Any resemblance to an actual body is purely coincidental) had taken another 40 percent of his service fee as their personal reward for being the intermediary. It was the third time already in two months and although he was getting the jobs, the fee left him with very little.
Walking home that night, he kept thinking aloud, "I fix the cars and trucks and they do nothing but sit in offices. What do they deserve 40 percent for?"
There on that road, he decided he'll find the service seekers on his own. He'll be a lone service provider seeking for jobs on his own.
Fast track to the nexth month; Pete sitting on his old couch feeling "wabbit". He had received only 2 jobs since he stopped being a service provider via Service Co.
He was almost giving up but saved by a buzz on his phone; he found CRAFTY.
It took him no time to register and fill in his portfolio and even less time to get called for his first job. It was a life changer for him.
His first car repair was so good he received the maximum reputation points from his customer plus an extra tip.
His reputation rose fast and steadily on crafty and he was soon on the top list of reputable car mechanics on the app. His skill was finally paying off in a good way.
Crafty had made him an entrepreneur; linking him up with customers directly for free and helping him build his reputation on a market that was influenced only by the quality of service provided. And like that wasn't enough, he earned CFTY tokens when he reviews or gets reviewed by a customer.
By cutting out intermediaries, Crafty enables service providers receive higher wages and at the same time reducing customer's costs.
So you are a service provider today just like Pete, get started on Crafty and be the master of your own skill.
Crafty! Where reputation pays.
