For some time now, I have been considering subscribing to The Best of Guildford directory service and whilst waiting for my subscription to finish elsewhere, the information that you have provided relative to my business category was informative, useful and factual.

I joined The Best of Guildford around 4 weeks ago now, and the process could not have been easier; the page was taken care of, the detail was extracted from my existing website and amendments required for my compliance sign off was achieved in a matter of hours.

Furthermore, the testimonials that I had achieved with my previous directory were all transferred across. This has made joining The Best of Guildford an easy decision and one in which as a business, I am taken seriously rather than just another number as I was on a previous site.

The approach, knowledge and professionalism from you, Sally & the team at The Best of Guildford is second to none, and I would recommend that other businesses follow suit.

Met Paul through BNI and have formed a close working relationship with him working collaberatively on email marketing projects. Love his energy and 'get up and go' attitude. A consumate networker who has a great way with people. He never tries to 'sell' and let's the value of what he works with do the talking for him. Doesn't take life or work too seriously - but still manages to get the job done.

Yesterday I was having my first meeting with Sally from “The best of Guildford” We were discussing the referral network that you can tap into when you join and use the best of and during this we had a flash flood and thunderstorm. We discovered that we had a leak as a result from an open widow and it had leaked into our ground floor reception. As we could not get hold of our usual plumber, Sally gave us several cards of people to ring. One was AB Plumbing and he came out within two hours and reassured us that all was well and there was no longstanding damage. I can truly say that was a case in point and I felt so reassured to have the matter dealt with quickly and succinctly. Thank you Sally and AB Plumbing........

I was unsure about using The Best of Guildford at first as I hadn't heard of it and didn't know whether it would work for my business or not. We signed up properly last year and since January I have been closely monitoring the calls we get from the site and listening to them to see the quality. We have already this year had over 25 calls from our page on The Best of Guildford all or which have been useful contacts and several new customers to our business. I would highly recommend being listed on this site and increasing the awareness of your business through this medium. Sally and Paul have been very helpful with keeping my listing fresh and they are very proactive with maintaining and promoting the site.

We are always striving to attract corporate sponsorship and for local businesses to nominate us as their Charity of the Year so the Best Of networking events are really useful. Lots of new contacts made and business cards taken away. Look forward to seeing you all again on April 15. Thank you Paul and Sally.

I would like to say a very big thank you for making me feel very welcome at your offices last week.

Sally contacted me recently regarding the possibility of placing a banner, advertising our restaurants Olivo and Olivetto, on the Best of Guildford website.
I found the whole process from start to finish very straightforward and with Sally's courteous and efficent input the banner was up and running within a matter of days. The feedback to-date has been extremely positive and I believe the direct link to our on-line reservations has been used on several occasions.

Dear Paul and Sally,
I have just come back from one of your networking events for the best of Guildford and had a throughly
enjoyable and productive time. At this event I got the opportunity to talk to not one but three prospective
clients, all of whom you had introduced me to. For me this was invaluable to meet prospective clients
in an informal environment.
At Boo Design marketing resources are limited and when I do decide to advertise I have to know that it is
money well spent. I cannot afford a dedicated sales team, however I can afford Paul and Sally who
constantly recommend me to their clients. I have come to regard them as an extension of my team and
cannot recommend them more highly. In addition they are both very proactive in getting me to ask my clients
for testimonials and to think of good offers which will entice prospective clients to use my services. They
want me get the most out of my best of guildford membership, as do I, but sometimes I need to be gently
prodded to do so. Thanks guys for al your support and encouragement.

I have been a member of The Best Of Guildford for a year now. The site definitely brings me business and in addition I use it as a tool to secure future business. As a florist and specifically with the wedding side of my business, I use the testimonials section on ‘The Best Of’ to my advantage. I have contacted past brides for whom I have supplied the flowers, and asked them to write a testimonial on the site within my advert. Then, in my consultations for new business I suggest they visit ‘The Best Of’ to read them, as an independent site I see it as being as good as telephoning the brides themselves. It is an excellent back up to my presentation and draws attention to the site for my business and other businesses on it.
I recommend to current advertisers on ‘The Best Of’ to ask your clients to write testimonials for your business on the site, it not only backs your business, but could generate business for other advertisers and vice versa, more traffic to the site HAS to be good.
Also, which service would you use the one with 0 testimonials or the one with 10 good ones?

Hello business owners,

I Brendon Lewthwaite of Guildford Home Repairs am very pleased since I placed a ad on The Best Of Guildford. The community is definitely using this website to gain access to local businesses. I have received many enquiries and gained business from a good percentage of these enquiries. Another bonus for me was that I have no need to create my own website as The Best Of Guildford gets the google hits for me. I will be continuing my listing.

I have been a member of ‘The Best of Guildford’ coming up for a year. I found Paul and Sally very helpful, prompt and friendly from the start and have certainly gained business from being on the site. The explanation of my business is clear with lots of pictures and the space for customers to leave testimonials works really well as my customers can check this independent site for references.
