If you’ve ever asked, “Who sent you?” after your fundi fumbled the job, charged too much, or ghosted you altogether, you’re not alone. That one phrase has become a hilarious but true reflection of the daily hustle in Kenya—referrals gone wrong.
We’ve all been there: You ask your cousin to recommend a house cleaner. They forward you a number with no name. You call. The person shows up late, does a questionable job, and then demands payment “plus fare.” And when things fall apart, you’re left mumbling, “Who sent you, honestly?”
But now, thousands of Kenyans are leaving all that drama behind—thanks to the Balozy App.
🚫 The Referral Era Is Over
In the good old days, referrals came from neighbors or your mum’s chama. But with everyone busy and moving around, the system isn’t as reliable anymore. Here’s why:
- 🚀You don’t know if the pro is legit
- 🚀No reviews, no photos of past work
- 🚀Pricing is vague and constantly shifting
- 🚀Zero accountability if things go south
So people started asking questions. And when they did, the answer was clear: download Balozy.
