Best Roofing in Sioux Falls 605-549-5033 – Roofing Sioux Falls

That being said, as a roofing contractor in Sioux Falls, Ive been a part of them at different times in my Roofing career. Not because I believe in what they do, but because the bulk of the public still does..time will tell how long that will last.

Truth be told, most listing services online produce about the same effect as a BBB listingin that if a roofing contractor does bad work, then customers will leave negative feedback on their listings. The new way that the web is allowing interaction between consumers and businesses is allowing for the same thing that the BBB did before all of the new web 2.o social media became the norm online.

Anymore the BBB is simply an overpriced listing.. kind of like advertising in the good old fashioned Yellow Pages big book/door stop not many people see it, but as a roofing contractor or any business. you have to pay out the nose in order to still be a part of it.

Anymore if a potential client asks if Im a roofing contractor with the BBB I simply tell them it cost me over $500 per year and never brought in a single project, so after a few years of wasting money on them I canceled, but if the customer would like I could make one call and get my A+ roofing contractor rating right back..(I also mention that paying clients get negative remarks and situations taken off quickly, if they ever even become public).

Regardless of the BBB stance as a consumer protection company the sad truth is that they are a business that makes millions off of other businesses, and reality would dictate that their loyalties go to where their money comes from.

In a strange way, the BBB is like the old gangsters offering protection to local roofing contractor businesses, and then increasing the cost of protection..to the point where it no longer is protection, but extortion.

Because of the common phrase check them with the BBBwhen searching for a roofing contractorthe BBB has risen to the point that it kind of strong arms businesses to pay their unreasonable listing fee just because consumers expect it.

In my experience as a roofing contractor, the listing with the BBB was a waste of marketing money, and only a few people ever checked out my roofing contractor profile with the BBB . and none of them ever became a client.

They (the BBB) also sent me regular emails to events ranging in price from $100 -$500, and Im sure this is simply part of their profit producing strategy.(I believe each office is a locally owned franchise, so listing fees vary depending on the area located, but I could be wrong on thatso dont quote me Ill have to do a little more research and then update this post at that time:)
