Just had a ten minute argument with our local BBB rep. Seems they want me back badly, but when I explain that for $480 I don't see a good ROI, she really got offended. I joined up in 2006 and specifically told the rep I spoke with that I track new advertising and memberships closely, to see if the cash outlay is worth it. BBB didn't cut the muster so I dropped it. I get calls several times a year asking to come back, and I tell them "no" after they can't define any benefits for my company. I explained that most people DO NOT go to the BBB to check out companies, but do go there to complain about them. I told her that Angie's List blows them away, and I am listed for FREE. Also told her I'd rather spend the $480 on SEO results than a membership. She seemed really irked that I knew what I was talking about, and kept cutting me off mid-sentence while I was explaining why I won't re-up. Needless to say she got hung up on. Sorry for the rant, but SHE CALLED ME!! Anyone out there get REAL benefits (not perceived) from that org??
