This is a much-needed post, as both Consumers and Service Providers want to know why ServiceSutra is not another business directory or a yellow pages or a green book or pink pages??<\/p>\n<p>So what will you as a customer do with a directory or yellow pages site?<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep on searching randomly.<\/li>\n<li>Finding and listing down the contact numbers of hundreds of business and service providers.<\/li>\n<li>Thirdly, make a call to some of the service providers, and often find that the mobile number is out of order, busy or doesn&#8217;t exist.<\/li>\n<li>Make another call and talk to another provider, and the same thing repeats.<\/li>\n<li>They are busy, they will visit you next week or maybe next to next week.I mean are you kidding me? Why to bother yourself so much! And by the way, how will you know which service provider is better and qualified enough to handle your job? How do you judge which Service provider is offering you the best rate out of the rest?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And by the way, how you know which business or service provider is better and qualified enough to handle your job?<\/p>\n<p>How do you judge which Service provider is offering you the best rate in case you are looking for a website designers or a SEO specialist or a wedding planner??<\/p>\n<p>Most service does not have a standard pricing model, right? So what if instead of searching through directories, if you could share your requirements and get call back from three Competent, Qualified and Trustworthy Service Providers?<\/p>\n<p>What if you get the liberty of comparing prices from three trustworthy service providers and make a well-informed decision to hire one of them if you like their rates credential and other terms?<\/p>\n<p>Won\u2019t that just be awesome??<\/p>\n<p>Yes! ServiceSutra does exactly that. ServiceSutra lets you compare prices from up to three Service Professionals before hiring. No search, no call. Just share your requirements and relax. We will make up to three Service Providers to call you back. You discuss and negotiate with them and then once you are satisfied, hire the one you like.<\/p>\n<p>There is more. Since you will be receiving estimates from three different Service professionals (and SPs know there are competing with two other Pro), chances are you will get a very competent and better deal.<\/p>\n<p>Even more. Once your job is complete, you will be requested to share your reviews and ratings for the Service Provider who worked on your project.<\/p>\n<p>ServiceSutra gives you the liberty to compare,\u00a0evaluate and choose from the best\u00a0and most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.servicesutra.com\/query\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">relevant local service professionals<\/a> for many services such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.servicesutra.com\/blog\/packing-and-moving-guide\/\">packing and moving<\/a>,\u00a0interior designing, pest removal and much more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well!
