The accreditation means that Top Of The List meets accreditation standards, as well as a commitment to make a good faith effort to resolve any client complaints. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to be among the BBB\u2019s accredited businesses,\u201d according to Top Of The List\u2019s owner Beverly Mapes. \u201cWhile there are great online marketers out there, the industry seems to attract many dishonest and fraudulent organizations too. We\u2019re glad the BBB is here as a measure to help potential clients sort the good from the not-so-good.\u201d  The BBB\u2019s Code of Business Practices, built on BBB Standards for Trust, include eight principles that help create and maintain trust:  Build Trust \u2013 Based on time in marketplace, absence of complaints, adherence to standards Advertise Honestly \u2013 Abide by laws and the BBB\u2019s Code of Advertising, avoid misleading customers or creating false impressions Tell the Truth \u2013 Make accurate representations in written materials and on website(s); ensure clarity and completeness in written materials Be Transparent \u2013 Provide the BBB with all information they request during their review; clearly disclose information to customers in writing which includes scope of work, all costs, billing frequency, refund policy, etc. Honor Promises \u2013 Fulfill contracts and agreements, correct mistakes as soon as possible Be Responsive \u2013 Address marketplace disputes quickly, professionally and in good faith Safeguard Privacy \u2013 Protect any data collected against mishandling or fraud, collect personal information only as needed, respect preferences of customers regarding the use of their information Embody Integrity \u2013 Approach all business dealings and commitments with integrity and one that reflects a positive public image of BBB and its accredited businesses \u201cA company simply cannot begin with all of the principles,\u201d Mapes said. \u201cThere are countless mentors, friends, networking groups, and training programs that have resulted in Top Of The List\u2019s adherence to the eight principles. We\u2019ve come a long way but are pleased to say that we\u2019ve made it!\u201d","dateModified":"2014-08-22","datePublished":"2014-08-22","copyrightYear":"2014","isAccessibleForFree":true,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/topofthelist.net\/about-us\/"},"@id":"https:\/\/topofthelist.net\/blog\/top-of-the-list-receives-bbb-accreditation-with-a-rating\/"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/topofthelist.net\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Top Of The List Receives BBB Accreditation with A+ Rating","item":"https:\/\/topofthelist.net\/blog\/top-of-the-list-receives-bbb-accreditation-with-a-rating\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
