Posted on by Robyn Rivera

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Money Management International is a 2018 award winner in Texas!

When you need credit counseling you can rely on in Fort Worth, there’s no better company to turn to than Money Management International.

Money Management International has received hundreds of reviews with an average rating of 4.43 stars, earning them an impressive Rating Score™ of 83.33 and a 2018 Top Rated Local award in Texas!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“We have been working with MMI (or they have been working with us) for just about a year now, and their service is FANTASTIC! We have a light at the end of our ‘under-water-with-debt’ tunnel and feel optimistic about our financial future. Money Management International has been helpful from the start with answering questions, explaining how the process works, working with creditors and helping us get back above water! THANKS to MMI for EXCELLENT customer service, and to anyone considering going this direction to work toward your stable financial future, I wholeheartedly recommend MMI!” – K.H.

Not Your Average Credit Counseling Company

We wanted to learn all about Money Management International and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with the Communications Lead, Thomas Nitzsche.

The first question we had for Thomas was what is it that sets Money Management International apart from their competition in Texas. Here’s Thomas’s response:

“MMI is the largest and oldest non-profit credit counseling agency in the country. We’re also the only one that’s open 24/7. We’re one of the only agencies to offer online counseling through our mobile-friendly online portal.”

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Money Management International and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Thomas had to say:

“[Our mission is to] improve lives through financial education. We want to change how America overcomes financial challenges through a variety of tools and strategies. We also operate back office and phone services for other credit counseling organizations.”

Thomas went on to add:

“Something that we’ve been working towards is learning more about the needs of people after they experience natural disasters. We want to offer longer-term financial help to folks that have been through disasters, especially when work is interrupted and they incur extra expenses. The program is called ‘Project Porchlight.’ You can find more information at moneymanagement.org and clearpoint.org.”

Building Success by Partnering With TrustPilot

Thomas attributes Money Management International’s strong online reputation to their partnership with TrustPilot:

“Currently we partner with Trustpilot. Any one of our existing clients is free to leave us a review there. We also occasionally solicit reviews from our existing clients.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Money Management International has gotten their name out there through online advertising, social advertising and by having a robust community outreach and industry relations team; however, referrals are one of their biggest sources of growth:

“We receive referrals from major employers, credit counseling agencies, other credit agencies, and HUD agencies.”

According to Thomas, with 40 different offices in 30 different states, the name of the game for Money Management International is digital marketing.

There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation Money Management International has. Here’s Thomas’s expert advice for them:

“Something we prioritize is our content development. We put out rich content that is relevant to current consumer pain points. We’ve got a couple of websites that we update, and they’re loaded with good informational things that consumers can use on their own or reach out on their own. Be sure to educate your clients!”

Congratulations to the team at Money Management International for being a 2018 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Thomas, for taking the time to speak with us!

“We love Visiting Angels!! Since she stopped driving a few years ago, this service has allowed my grandmother to maintain independence and dignity. From help with even the smallest household tasks to overnight stays after an illness, I highly recommend Visiting Angels!” -Presley J.

Not Your Average Home Health Care Company

Lori Windal, the administrator of Visiting Angels, took some time to chat with us about the business’ awesome online reputation.

First and foremost, we wanted to know how Lori and her team stand out from their competitors. She said, “We have a lot of experience within our office — we have a CNA, I’m an RN, and we have four others that are very experienced within healthcare. Our owner, Darren, is local; he and his family live here. We are committed to making sure the elderly are taken care of, and work with Veterans Affairs to make sure our veterans are taken care of. We work hard in recruiting our caregivers to make sure they are trained well and do an extensive background check, an extensive orientation, and ongoing training.”

Lori and the other members of the Visiting Angels team take immense pride in helping others. “Our mission is to be the community’s choice in personal assistance. The whole reason the owner bought this business is because he saw a need for the elderly population to be taken care of,” Lori told us. “He experienced this need with his father. Having that passion is important to him, and it’s important to me also. We make that one hour visit with someone the best hour. A lot of our clients don’t see anyone except our caregivers all day. We are able to give families peace of mind and take care of their loved ones when they aren’t able to.”

Building Success By Focusing On Care

According to Lori, the Visiting Angels secret to success is their passion for their work. She told us, “We have a passion to make sure the people in our community are taken care of.

The following is Lori’s advice for other businesses that are working on their online reputation:

“Communication is key with our clients as well as our caregivers and staff. We do have seven core values; one of them is cultivating grace.”

Texas’ Top Rated Local® Home Health Care Providers Award Winner: Visiting Angels

Posted on by Top Rated Local

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Visiting Angels is an award winner for home health care providers in 2019.

If you or a loved one are seeking a reputable and caring home health care provider, we urge you to look into Visiting Angels.

Visiting Angels has received many overwhelmingly positive reviews across three different verified sites with an average rating of 4.81 stars, earning them an impressive Rating Score™ of 94.10 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking as one of the top seven home health care providers in Texas!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“My grandpa recently passed and I’m writing this to give praise to Leann Brooks and Visiting Angels of San Angelo. Leann oversaw the caretakers that were with my grandfather for these past few years, they were courteous, friendly and hardworking. With our family living in WI, communication would seem difficult, but that was not the case! Leann, as well as Logan and the other angels, went over the top to keep my mom in the loop. [I am] planning to move my mom down here in 20 years to be cared for by this team because they are so amazing!” – C.T.

It is because of excellent reviews like this that Visiting Angels is now able to call themselves a Top Rated Local award winner!

Not Your Average Home Health Care Providers

We were excited to learn all about how Visiting Angels has been able to build such an impressive reputation, so we sat down with the Director, LeAnn Brooks. Speaking with LeAnn highlighted the passion she has for her industry and for the people they serve.

We asked LeAnn what it is that makes Visiting Angels stand apart from their competitors. LeAnn spoke specifically about the pride she has in her team:

“I would put my team up against anyone. It’s really their mission, they love working with the elderly. They have compassion and a heart for the industry and it shows in the way they deal with the clients and their families.”

LeAnn went on to share with us that she feels our elders are so important, and she and her team work diligently to make a difference in their lives by supplying reputable caregivers, a good agency, and 24/7 availability. They work hard to make sure that the elderly and their families have some peace of mind and genuine dedicated love and care. LeAnn told us that families will often feel lost as to how to care for an elderly loved one, especially when faced with diseases like dementia or Alzheimer’s. She says it is a goal of Visiting Angels to offer comfort and independence for those families. LeAnn says:

“We work very hard to make a heart-connection with our clients and their families. We strive for excellence, we want to make sure they feel comfortable and can live independently at home.”

Building Success With Care

Visiting Angels has established a truly impressive online reputation. When we asked LeAnn about that, she let us know that most of their clients are not very tech savvy, so when they are getting good reviews online, it’s because someone had to be very impressed by their service.

“My best marketing is the fact that we go out and do a great job… Word of mouth and making sure that we live up to what we say we are going to do and providing excellent service is our best marketing.”

LeAnn went on to tell us that a part of the reason she is able to have such confidence in their service is due to the fact that Visiting Angels invests a lot of time and effort into training their caregivers. They make it a point to only hire the best.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Visiting Angels has managed to. We asked if LeAnn could share any expert advice to these companies. Here’s what they had to say:

“Building a heart-connection with [your clients] is why they go online and give [positive] reviews. The same thing goes for taking care of [your employees] as well. It’s all about making the heart-connection.”

Congratulations to Visiting Angels for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to LeAnn for taking the time to speak with us!
