Great Experience with Guilford Magazine Working with the magazine staff (Lisa Lelas and Catherine Kiernan) was a treat. We were glad to share our story with a community that's been so good to us.

I had a really bad experience with this… I had a really bad experience with this company, especially the coach that was designed to me. When I tried to switch I couldn't because he was the one designated to the Area and they didn't had other one so I left. Coaches are not supposed to judge other trainees and talk bad about them to other workers and they should keep the relationship professional and not trying to be to friendly. Sometimes I thought that he wanted something more than being my coach. Still small in Canada

Great interview experience! Great experience talking with them and sharing our story. They were very interested and gave us an opportunity to share our good memories with our family.

Version Media's app is absolutely terrible!! Your app is absolutely terrible! It discounts constantly and then requires you to watch 5 minutes of ads. Avoid at all costs!!

The print ads are misleading The print ads are misleading. They say you will be advertised in all the best Zip codes for the magazine and that's true, but then you find out the distribution is quarterly instead of monthly. They charge you monthly though. I verified this by questioning several people that I know who receive the magazine. They all say "about once a quarter" and they live in different neighborhoods. That means most of them never saw the "expert contribution" I made in a section of the magazine which I paid extra for. The other side is the digital media ads. They claim views of 20k to 30k each month, but the actual traffic going to facebook or my website are next to zero. In essence the digital traffic reports are completely made up. You're paying for a fake report each month. They do an ad mockup to show you what it looks like and then send out a billing with the supposed ad traffic numbers. I'm not sure what they cant actually just drive traffic to your business pages instead of doing what they're doing. After paying them for 18 moths to do nothing with digital, I ran an ad directly with facebook for one week and the traffic increased from 20 views on a one year old ad that I made myself (and BVM was supposed to promote), to 1,100 views. I also got 2 clients out of it that week. It cost me $38 to Facebook, instead of $250 to BVM. The click through rate to my website also went up after running that one ad. Then they try and pressure you saying that it is a legal contract and you cant opt out for another couple of years, until the contract expires. They're scammers, and should be treated as such. I hope this helps someone who comes across this. Find a different ad agency, this organization will take you for tens of thousands if they can. They got me for over 12k because I wasn't paying attention. I had a lot on my plate at the time wearing all the hats, caring for a parent, death in household etc. I hired them to advertise my company and they just robbed me instead. It almost sunk the company with the lack of new business. Don't let it happen to you.
