"Just wanted to take a moment to tell you about an amazing ELP we worked with. She always responded quickly and gave us tips to save money even when it would ultimately mean less commission for her... We were about to make a huge mistake and she guided us in the right direction. We are so blessed to have received so much help from her."— Chad and Samantha A., RamseyTrusted Users
The RamseyTrusted Shield: Earned, Not Bought
The RamseyTrusted shield is a symbol of commitment to fight for customers and to put serving over selling. It's not just a slick piece of graphic design that can be downloaded and used by paying monthly membership fees.
To be clear, even a mission-hearted business is a business. Providers pay for the services and support they receive. But the shield and the RamseyTrusted status cannot be bought—they must be earned day in and day out.
Lose the trust, lose the shield. Simple as that.
