I recently posted a couple of articles concerning my investigation and review of Worldprofit and Dr. Jeffrey Lant. I received several comments in reply and a few email messages as well. Most of the comments centered on two facts concerning Worldprofit; the first is that the company has been online since 1994 and secondly, that Worldprofit has been accredited by the Better Business Bureau for 10 years. The later point typically has included the phrase “Is Worldprofit really Accredited by the Better Business Bureau.”
I thought it would be helpful to provide a little more detail about Worldprofit’s status with the Better Business Bureau and provide you with a link to the Edmonton BBB so that you can see Worldprofit’s reliability report and the details concerning their rating.
When evaluating Worldprofit or any business opportunity, it is critical that you do not accept reviews at face value and that you seek out documented facts and fewer opinions. I advise this course of action for one simple reason, when it comes to the success of any Internet business the quality of the program as well as the commitment of the buyer (you) are vitally important. There are times when “the business” fails because of the buyer didn’t take appropriate actions, work hard enough, or give the program enough time to produce results. It may have nothing to do with the company.
If you read reviews that focus more on personalities and less on facts, beware… the reviewer likely has an axe to grind. If the review is written by someone who has never actually participated in the business or has not conducted enough research to present a balanced review, beware … the reviewer likely has an axe to grind.
Here are the key portions of the report taken from the Edmonton BBB website. I trust that this information will be helpful in your evaluation of Worldprofit.
