Spread the Word About Quality Service

My name is George Pickering and I co-founded RESPOND because I wanted an easy way to locate quality local merchants. It started when I moved into a new community and needed to find a good, local, quality pest control company. So I did what most of us do; I asked my friends and neighbors. It took about a week to identify someone I wanted to use and another week to get them lined up. There had to be a better way. That’s when I came up with the idea of combining the power of asking people you know with the efficiency and scope of the internet.

Using RESPOND, I can now search for local businesses recommended by other members. I then read the detailed reviews of these businesses written by RESPOND members. When I’m ready, I can even request more information, knowing that I will receive a professional and timely response.

RESPOND works because each member of the community – consumers, merchants, even RESPOND – have agreed to a Code of Conduct. This Code enables RESPOND to be a vibrant community of active members, determined to make the consumer experience as open, easy, informative and efficient as possible.

Our community needs and values your participation. Please join us.
