Build trust and win more business...

with our powerful marketing tool for companies that care about their customers.

Try our no-rick free trial

Word of mouth is the most powerful way of getting new business (and one of the cheapest). People believe what previous customers say about a company much more (some marketing experts say up to 60 times more) than what the company says about itself.

If you’re looking for a great plumber or builder you probably ask friends and neighbours to recommend one. With a developing industry like renewable energy and energy efficiency, it’s hard to get a recommendation.

What would you have liked to know before you asked suppliers to quote?

“Whether the previous recommendations were genuine as [the company] had received quite a few more than other companies.

Originally I was going with another larger company that was very gimmicky - having researched this company I changed my mind and researched local companies that had been recommended. Glad I did as all that had been written was I can now say true from my own experience and they also came in cheaper than the other company.”
