Must be that time of year again -- BBB recruiting. Received a call late last week, which turned into 3 calls due to time limitations.
Last year, call was in September. See Msg #582318
This year, the young lady was very professional, very eloquent in her spiel and better prepared than the gentleman last year. Business has been slow for me so thought I'd let her practice her pitch. She was good. She was respectful. She was accommodating. Called me back as requested and emailed me the material as requested.
I told her I'd do my due diligence and if warranted, I'd call her back. Well ... I spoke to a former BBB member (my daughter and her deceased husband had a tree service company). They derived no benefit from that accreditation. Again, referring to my previous link mentioned above, several business owners here posted and not one of them had anything positive to say. Then, I did a Google search and found the following eyeopener:

Within that article, there's a link to a 20/20 interview that I also found most interesting.
Won't be calling back BBB interlocutor. But, I may forward her the above links. Hmmmm ........
Oh, BTW, I did ask her how she found me. On #'s site.
