YouGottaCall is the word-of-mouth connection engine (Connect-gine™) that connects local businesses with their customers, neighbors and friends to generate referrals and earn rewards.
YouGottaCall.com supports the local community by allowing Members to either keep their rewards or to donate them directly to their favorite not-for-profit (501C3) organizations.
Founded in 2007, YouGottaCall.com™ is a network of local service providers and the consumers who trust them. YouGottaCall.com™ allows consumers to connect with their trusted service providers (TSPs) and to provide .word-of-mouth. referrals for their friends, neighbors and co-workers.
It is widely recognized that “word-of-mouth” is the most effective way for consumers to find reliable local professionals, contractors and service providers. "Word-of-mouth" referrals provide small enterprises with the highest quality sales leads.
We are not a search engine, but a connection engine ("Connect-gine"™) that:
Consumers have used the Yellow Pages and other local advertising for decades to locate vendors. These media cannot portray the quality that contractors, professionals and businesses provide. Higher value service providers have no means of adequately differentiating themselves from other advertisers who are not as reliable.
The dozens of new Internet search engines and "Internet Yellow Pages" have severely complicated local ad options for most local businesses. Competitors are now buying services that continually place them ahead of trusted, established businesses at the top of search results. Many busy, established local business owners do not have the time or resources to stay on top of this growing trend.
The history of rating businesses’ quality goes back to the Better Business Bureau's founding in 1912. More recent efforts have conglomerated the ratings and comments of consumers about local businesses through the Internet. This approach generated several problems including lawsuits and complaints by Vendors over unfounded remarks and poor ratings. In addition, some raters establish false Web identities to unfairly weigh the ratings of their companies and their competitors.
More than an ad in print or on the radio, YouGottaCall.com™ connects you to your future clients through your hard-earned reputation using your network of customers, friends and neighbors.
Instead of using search engine algorithms to produce results, YouGottaCall.com™ produces leads that are highly qualified and partially sold by the testimonies of your network members. Instead of paying for leads, TSPs only pay a fee after they have gained a new customer and the TSP determines the amount of that fee.
YouGottaCall.com™ does not display a "Vendor Rating Score" for your business. Your connected Members refer you because they trust you and your business is the one they use.
YouGottaCall.com™ is free to join and use. For consumers it's actually "Better than free"™ since Members receive referral fees and rebates from participating businesses when a referred lead results in a sale. TSPs choose the amount of the fee that they pay and only pay it after a referral results in a sale.
YouGottaCall.com™ also connects Members with the not-for-profit organizations (NFPs) that they support. Members have the opportunity to direct the fees they earn to these charitable organizations as donations and to receive tax benefits that are available.
In addition to the fees Members earn for referrals, they also receive a portion of the referral fees from transactions involving Members who they have invited into the network.
