Professional Network Marketplace

How the network marketplace connects professionals and clients

Step 1

Create Your Professional Profile

Sign up and create your professional profile in your category (Coach, Media Pro, Mechanic, Guide, etc.). Add your bio, services, pricing, photos, and credentials.

  • Fill out your professional information
  • Upload portfolio photos and credentials
  • Set your service offerings and rates
  • Your profile goes live immediately in the directory
Step 2

Users Discover Your Services

Users browse the professional directories, filter by location and services, and discover your profile.

  • Users search directories by category
  • Filter by location, specialty, and experience
  • View your profile details and portfolio
  • Check reviews and ratings from past clients
Step 3

Receive Client Inquiries

When users find your services interesting, they send you an inquiry with their specific needs and requirements.

  • User fills out an inquiry form with details
  • You receive a notification in your dashboard
  • Review the inquiry details and client information
  • Decide to accept or decline the inquiry
Step 4

Accept & Start Conversation

Accept the inquiry to create a dedicated conversation thread. Both parties must accept a liability disclaimer before messaging.

  • Click 'Accept' on the inquiry
  • Both parties read and accept the disclaimer
  • Once accepted, messaging unlocks
  • Discuss details, schedule, and finalize arrangements
Step 5

Deliver Your Service

Coordinate through the chat, then deliver your professional service (coaching session, bike repair, event planning, etc.).

  • Communicate logistics via the inquiry thread
  • Meet and deliver your professional service
  • Service happens outside the app
  • Mark inquiry as 'Completed' when done
Step 6

Build Your Reputation

After service completion, clients can leave reviews. Build your reputation with 5-star ratings and positive feedback.

  • Client leaves a review and rating
  • Reviews appear on your public profile
  • Average rating displayed on your card
  • Great reviews = more inquiries
