i don't know how to sign up but the good thing about having it is that if your business is good it will get  good ratings sometimes people look at the people in the better business bureau for good company. and the bbb will tell the customer if your company has any bad thing on your record so it is a real good thing to have if your business is all in order.

Details about what kind of business it is would be helpful.  As a generality right now though, it would be good to get the word out by way of word of mouth and flyers.  Explain why your business is worth visiting (i.e. good food, helpful to the community, etc.)

The Better Business Bureau is a scam.  They have a phonebook with select businesses inside.  Everyone thinks: Hey these have to be great businesses!!!  The reality is that if you check their website these same businesses are sometimes listed as being really bad with lots of complaints.  Just like everything else; it's all about the money.  Make your complaint anyways.  It might help somebody down the road to make the right choice.  In your case you need to make your complaint to the BBB in Illinois.

I would say have a contract set up between you and the banks for them to pay to have their name and information on your page. Then if they should be able to help the person and gain business from them, then you could also state an additional percentage for giving them sure business.

Yeah, the BBB is basically a scam itself.  They keep track of complaints against local businesses, but they don't actually do anything about the original problem.  In fact, if businesses pay them and join the BBB, the BBB will generally not post negative information about the company or will give the company lots of room to say it fixed the problem.  If your business hasn't paid the BBB, you won't be able to get rid of a bad mark on your record without joining.  The BBB is a huge scam.  They should be reported to someone!

If something has happened, because of a purchase.  Get a hold of the Better Business Bureau.  I had a problem with a company and I got ahold of the B.B.B. and I received my money back in full.  If that is not what you had in mind, then word of mouth is always a good way

Suggestions For Building Your Subscription Business\n\nIT'S FREE\n\nAs an Independent agent of  , your opportunities are unlimited to build your subscription business. As an agent, you are authorized to use magazine covers in any of your own promotional material. You are allowed to market your business any way that you want. Here are a few suggestions to help build your business.\n\n\n(1) Think large for the long term, but think small in the beginning. Start your business by contacting people that you know ( friends, family, neighbors etc. ). Let these people know that you are in business, and explain to them what a convenient service you provide. Sample promotional letters are available upon request. For example:  Since the average household takes approximately six magazine subscriptions, by ordering and renewing through you, they would only have to write one check, one time, to you, for all of their subscription needs. The customer also does not have to deal with any customer service issues, so if there is a problem, you can handle it for them (by contacting our office ).\n\n(2) Network your subscription business as a fund-raiser. Contact local schools, churches, civic groups etc. who want to raise money for their organization and keep a percentage of sales as your profit.\n\n(3) Take advantage of any gift giving occasion ( holidays, birthdays, engagements, graduations, etc.) Keep a log of all special occasions for your customers. For example:\nWhen it is the birthday of the mother of your customer, contact the customer and suggest a subscription as a gift. Not only will your customer had not thought of previously. Again, you are providing a service and your customer will probably be glad that you called and made the suggestion.\n\n(4) Contact local business who having waiting areas (family doctor, pediatrician, dentist, beautician, mechanics etc.) More than likely, these offices have someone who is designated to handle magazine renewals in addition to their other job responsibilities. This is an excellent opportunity for you to offer your service at little or no additional cost to the customer.\n\n\n(5) Ask existing customers for referrals. Most businesses get their start this way. For example: Your beautician built his or her client base from referrals of existing customers. Word of mouth is the most powerful form of advertisement.\n\n(6) Contact your local Chamber of Commerce to get a listing of businesses ( and their address / Phone Number) in your area. Write a letter of introduction, or use our suggested letter of introduction, to contact them. There may be a small fee to get this list.\n\n(7) Contact large businesses in your area. These employees not only have reception areas, but the management staff usually receive a variety of subscriptions.\n(8) Keep updates on new residents in your area. Write a letter to welcome them to the community and tell them about your service. Form a business relationship with a local company that deals with major purchases ( real estate brokers, car salesman ). Suggest that they give a gift subscription to any new customer who makes a purchase. If you deal with a real estate broker, you will know who the new residents in the community are, and you can contact them for other subscription business.\n\n(9) Build relationships with your customers. Follow up with existing customers on a regular basis ( every 3 mos. ) to make sure that they are happy with their subscriptions. And there are NO problems. Hint: Customers follow up is crucial to your business. If you do not follow up, your credibility can be destroyed. If you only call your customers once a year (when it is time to renew ), they will be less likely to renew through you if there have been problems and you were not available to handle them throughout the year.\n\nHere is a suggested contact schedule:\n\n1st Contact - Make the subscription sale. Let the customer know that you will be contacting them in approximately 3 months to v

1. Check Better Business Burea. But BBB will only have entry if the business signed on for membership. \n\nNote though that BBB membership is not required; afterall it is just a watchdog non profit - it is not government. So keep this in mind if you check on a business and it is not a BBB member. Not being a member is not a sure sign that the business is not legit; many businesses just don't see the point of BBB and do not want to pay for their membership for an organization they don't find useful.\n\n2. Dun and Bradstreet. Check if the business have at least a D&B number. If you really want deeper information on the business, buy their credit report or other business reports (it's not free so be prepared to shell out cash).\n\n3. You can also use Experian Business - which is a cheaper alternative to Dun & Bradstreet
