* GUIDE TESTIMONIAL

JEFF BOND:

PROFFESSIONAL STRIPER GUIDE LAKE TEXOMA

Why I'm a TOPGUIDESERVICES.COM MEMBER.

It's simple. I started using TGS for my web services 5 years ago. I traded guide services for my website, marketing services, and TopGuideServices listing and participated in some testing. My business has grown every year and I'm as busy, or busier than anyone in my area today as a result.

My site was was used to develop the model for TGS. It's been successful because TGS is doing the right things for clients and the guides.

For example: Even now, most clients want to talk to the guide instead of using email. They want to know who they're fishing with and they probably want to negotiate too. Most listing services either keep the guides contact information a big secret, or they only offer a list of guides with no details, to keep control of the information. TGS is putting the guides telephone number right up front because the goal is to promote the guide and give the client what they want, not to control the information.

Another example: Pictures are great, but clients don't want to see the same 10 fish from 6 different angles, for 5 years. I can put new pictures up in about 2 minutes and keep the site up to date.

Another example: Basic listings are free. the company is trying to make most of their money from advertising and hosting and keep services either free or cheap.

I've been fishing on Texoma for over 20 years. During this last year, with gas going up and down, and with the economy, I've booked more trips in the first 10 months of the year than I ever booked and I've been able to refer more trips this year than ever before. I'm still fishing hard into December -when it's been dead in the past- and still getting referrals almost every day.

There's no more people fishing in December than there ever was, I'm just talking to more of the ones who are.

TopGuideServices has increased my over-all receipts and I haven't had to do a thing but keep my customers happy except get'em into fish and treat'em right. When the ratings get started, that'll be another way to get attention to my business.

TGS created my site and gets visitors to it, they advertise and optimize, and all that, and I can update my site online (if I want to) without having to wait or pay any additional fees.

I don't have a problem keeping customers, but a big part of getting new customers is coming from the internet.

I have the Premium Services Package. I get a web page on TGS that I can update online, a TGS branded site that's optimized to attract search engines and linked into the TGS network, a blog that I can update in a minute, monthly pay-per-click advertising, my customers can upload pictures, and a bunch more.

That's why I'm with TGS:

Big site, more clicks
More advertising, more clicks.
Big bang for the buck, cheapest prices and more options
I'm already making money, it works.
My clients are satisfied, so guide ratings will work for me.
TopGuideServices promotes my business while I fish and while I sleep.

By the way, I haven't been compensated a cent for this.
