A New Chapter

Howdy, Hi, Hello!
We’re back with time sensitive news!
Gentile Enterprise’s Start-Up chapter is coming to an end.
+++
In the coming months our Services menu will be complete, with our Merchants list live, and our portfolios full.
As we’ve worked hard to provide our services at a Pay What You Can compensation plan since the beginning, we have gathered a deeper understanding of the value and priorities in our business through our work in the last seven months.
But out start-up phase is ending.
Our company’s mission remains the same; offering our services at an affordable price in order to break the tradition of overly-expensive expectations for small business and start-up needs, as well as the individual’s needs for our services in leisure and art.
Our company’s passion will remain the same as well; to offer our services and works at any expense to share our ministry and faith in the Gospel, and to help the common man work for a prosperous livelihood while independent from an entrenched system that would require too much in return for too little.
We have found that, under the Pay What You Can compensation plans, the expertise and professionalism we have to offer is overlooked by the presumed doubt and uncertainty in our potential clients and customers before they commit. It has all too often been misunderstood that what we offer may be “too good to be true”. We began this endeavor to convince others that, through faith, it’s so good it must be true; that our expertise, professionalism, and skills are indeed for hire at whatever price they may afford, and that what they can afford will in no way hinder the quality of work they should expect.
In the last 7 months we have had the privilege to show this truth to all of the individuals and small businesses we worked for. Although we earnestly believe in the power of viva voce, or word-of-mouth, and its potential to organically produce trust and genuine interest for future business, it has not been a strong enough force up-front to spark the exponential amount of work we desire. We are not reaching enough individuals, enough small businesses, enough start-ups with confidence.
In order to solidify a platform and company that people can trust, to take seriously, with the added security that what we offer is indeed quality, indeed affordable, and indeed beyond their expectations - we will begin moving forward by putting a legitimate price on the services we offer. From what we have understood from the population at this moment - without a credible price to represent the value on our work, we are not credible as a whole. They will indeed believe that a Pay What You Can compensation plan is “too good to be true” for such works, despite our very clear and open contract litigations that always guarantee the correct expectations, as well as favor the client’s or customer’s needs.
As we choose to operate by faith in all things, our faith cannot force the will of others, only impress it. As well, the lack of faith from others will not help our own. To fortify and earn more faith in our company’s services, the value of our work will stay the same and then increase, with a price to match it. We will be moving forward with this transition in the coming three months.
On October 22, 2022, the Pay What You Can compensation plan will be phased out for all services, with the exception of Arica’s Gallery! Until then, our services will still be under the PWYC plan for anyone to take advantage of. All PWYC contracts submitted before then will be valid until complete, even after October 22, 2022.
(We have moved this date to January 30th, 2023.)
We will still be offering a free Pop-Up Picnic under Good Timing for anyone who wishes to sit down with us to hear the Gospel, to share talk of ministry or testimony! We will also be considering the potential to take a month of each year to make our PWYC contracts temporarily available again, with a limited quantity.
We can guarantee that our prices will be fair and favorable to the client and customer compared to other companies offering similar services. We promise to continue offering affordability in order to bless others in their own endeavors, their own start-up adventures, their own leisure, with everything we do and grow to
The Give and Receive over Buy and Sell mentality is still alive as well. Rather than giving up front by cutting our prices to almost zero, we are working to give more from what we earn through concrete pricing. We will work for the money we give to bless others. From this giving through faith, we will in-turn reap more financial blessings from the abundance of avenues God finds to bless us with what we need to prosper. We have been shown the confirmation of this many times since our walk down this path.
By being givers we have been blessed by givers, exponentially. We will continue to give and foster relationships in business and ministry that create a precedence for giving under Gentile Enterprise.
GODSPEED!
