Our BBB Rating
We are proud to be one of many companies who are finally standing up to the Better Business Bureau.
We will include just one or two examples of why we refuse to do business with this multi-million dollar non-profit organization (The BBB currently has a revenue of $215 Million and the top salary earned within the company exceeds $400,000 a year) Their revenue is so high because they charge business from hundreds of dollars and up to $10,000 per year for a high BBB grade.
We will never pay for good reviews:
A medical company (named in the CNNMoney report available below) which happen to be a paying BBB member which operates hundreds of nursing homes across the country, and has an A+ rating. Federal prosecutors claimed the company bilked Medicare out of millions of dollars by repeatedly providing therapy to patients that wasn't medically necessary -- and in some cases, potentially harmful to patients.
Through its investigation, CNNMoney found a sampling of more than 100 businesses that had ratings of A- or higher despite having serious actions taken against them by government regulators in the past year. Some have been ruled flat-out scams and were shut down, but still kept their high BBB grade. Some have already been required to pay multimillion dollar penalties. And others have recently been rocked by big government lawsuits.
We understand the BBB will likely give us a BAD RATING!
Incredibly, highly respected Fortune 500 companies, like Microsoft and Starbucks, don't pay the organization's membership fees and are among the BBB's lowest-rated companies. You literally pay for an "A" or deal with BBB dishing out an "F" regardless of how many satisfied clients you have!
In fact, in recent years, angry business owners and bloggers who are tired of being bullied by the BBB set up a fake business named "Hamas" even going as far as boldly listing the business as a terrorist group, and within 12 hours, the BBB charged them a $425 fee and gave "Hamas" an A- rating.
In light of all of these facts, that were investigated by trusted sources such as 20/20 and CNNMoney, can you really trust the BBB rating system?
We don't, and any of our clients who ask why we are not BBB accredited will be directed to this page. We are delighted to answer any questions, just give us a call.
We urge all consumers to educate themselves on the truth about the BBB.
