That might very well be true. On the other hand, many people rely on personal experience which typically result in referrals. My Clients love it when I can refer someone or something based on personal experience.
The proof is in the pudding, so to say.
Rodney just called, and after chastising me for a few minutes since the company making Product XXX (and we’ll provide the name shortly) is located here in San Diego (actually Escondido). He said that not only has he had extremely good luck with it, but so have my other two uncles, Doug in Houston and Charles in Austin. Additionally, we come from a very large farming and ranching family, and all my cousins, second cousins, great uncles, grand uncles, no-name uncles, etc., in San Antonio, Victoria, and Floresville also are using it and having great success with it.
Product XXX actually is not a quick fix. It is both a short-term and a long-term solution to helping out older systems and helping newer systems continue working properly.
Thank you for being glad for me.
Knowing the Kirk family like I do, they are not easily satisfied. Rodney, Charles, and Doug actually taught me almost everything I know. We built septic systems, irrigation systems, fences, houses, swimming pools, etc., so I was a little happy that I was able to contribute something back to them. And considering how difficult it is to please the Kirk family, if it works for them, I have no problem referring it to my Clients. I’d even be willing to back it up with my own personal guarantee to provide my Clients with a new septic system if theirs failed or they had to have it pumped while using Extra Strength Septic System Maintainer.
Actually, alcohol is not good for a septic system, but I don’t waste alcohol anyway, nor do any of the Kirks, so that wasn’t an issue.
The name of Product XXX is “Extra Strength Septic System Maintainer,” and is produced by Trisynergy in Escondido CA, 1-800-446-6076.
So consider it anecdotal if you want–doesn’t bother me at all. I rely on personal experience more than anything else in my life, and the referrals that come with personal experience, such as with Angie’s List, where my company happens to be listed.
Now if I were an employee of the company, or the company had paid me to say what I say, or if I had stock in the company, might be a different story. Angie’s List, however, doesn’t accept paid testimonials. Neither do I.
