BETTER BUSINESS COUNCIL DIRECTORY 2013 Guide to Better Business LOCAL BUSINESS DEDICATED TO BUILDING AND MAINTAINING GOOD CUSTOMER RELATIONS 2T BETTER BUSINESS COUNCIL dIRECTORY Bradenton Herald/Lakewood Ranch Herald A Message from the Chairman George Mason, Chairman W elcome to the Better Business Council’s “Guide to Better Business”. You have found the right tool to help you work with the finest businesses in a wide array of consumer needs. Investing is a tricky endeavor these days. For consumers, finding that “just right” business to serve your needs or protect your assets can be challenging. It takes an investment of your faith in a business that has been vetted through a process that verifies the validity of their business. This includes license, insurance, reference and background confirmation as member businesses of the Manatee Chamber of Commerce “Better Business Council”. Business investing has its challenges also. How do you make your business stand apart from the competition? A solid answer is to have a higher standard business practice that includes qualifying as a member of the BBC. When you show the educated consumer that you are the type of firm that knows the details of being the best in your field, you offer them the confidence that is needed in our professional business arena. And you are eager to participate with a group that is the best of the best. There is no “Rubber Stamp” here at the BBC. All applicants do complete an application with a mem- ber of our council personally reviewing and verifying all pertinent business information. This is followed by a presentation to the entire council for approval. Applicants are also required to sign a “Membership Agreement” that holds our members to the highest standards. The BBC has a group of volunteers serving on the council. This is no burden as we all enjoy serving our community while meeting the best and brightest businesses and leaders in our community. It’s easy for me to extend the challenge for you to invest, either as a consumer or a business in the BBC. Confidence, reliability and trust that results from our processes is a successful investment for all.

The Better Business Council (BBC) is a committee of the Membership Development and Services Division of the Manatee Chamber of Commerce. Businesses wishing to become members of the BBC agree to certain terms and conditions including clarification and confirmation of required licensing and proper insurance. In addition, they must agree to respond to formal complaints filed through the Better Business Council and make every effort to resolve conflicts in a reasonable, prompt manner outlined by the BBC. Understanding that complaints can arise in the normal course of doing business, and that it can be difficult at times, to resolve the is- sues, the BBC attempts to act as a mediator so that both parties are hopefully satisfied. It has been our experience that, in most cases they are. Most area businesses are operated by hard working men and women who care about their customers and are dedicated to building and maintaining good relationships. For this reason, they make the decision to indicate their commitment and apply for membership in the BBC. Consumers are encouraged to contact the Chamber’s Better Business Council for information regarding reliability reports on our members, as well as scams, charitable solicitations and more. There is no charge to consumers for this public service. If you own a business and would like more information on BBC membership, would like to inquire about a business, or need assistance, please call Tina West, Manager, at 941-748-1325 or email [email protected]. If you would like more information about how your business can become a member of the Better Business Council, call 941-748-1325.

REMODELING? 748-1219 17T Handling a Complaint ortunately, most business transactions are handled professionally and without incident. On rare occasions, however, consumers can be disappointed with a company’s product or service and feel the need to file a complaint. For businesses located in the Manatee County area, the Chamber’s Better Business Council offers the following advice: First, attempt to resolve the issue directly with the business. Often, they are not aware of a customer’s dissatisfaction and are eager to work with them to resolve the issue. If efforts to reach a mutually satisfactory solution fail, consumers can contact the Chamber’s Better Business Council (BBC) to receive a “Consumer Experience Report,” The report can also be downloaded from the Chamber’s website at www.ManateeChamber.com. For businesses located outside of our area, consumers should contact the Better Business Bureau of West Florida at 800-525-1447 or www.bbbwestflorida.org. When the BBC receives a completed form, it is forwarded to the business involved. Please note that the BBC does not take either side in the dispute but works to facilitate communication between the company and the consumer, hopefully resulting in a satisfactory resolution. 056443 REAL ESTATE - RESIDENTIAL (Continued) Duncan Real Estate, Inc.
