A salesperson named Spero was a real a-hole after my company decided to reject their offer of putting us at the top of google business listings. After doing our own research on how they can justify charging a large monthly fee for checking an Adword and Places listing twice a month did not make sense to us. This is something you can do yourself with Google and Google will only charge you the fee they charge everybody else for using Adwords. Google places is already and always free to use.
After a friendly 20 minute conversation with the salesman, I told him that I would have to discuss their service with my partners. I did and we decided this is something that one of us can take care of on a regular basis for free.
When he called back the next day, he didn't ask me anything and just presumed we were up for this. After I told him we were not interested at this time, he got arrogant and defensive. He exclaimed that he will then call our competitor, which he NAMED, and that we did not know the value of what they could do for us and then he hung up.
You would think that a company selling a service that promotes your business in on online search engine would know the value of user review and should be able to do a google search on their own company. You want my money to put my company on the Internet when I can do it for both of us for free.
Use this company at your own risk.
