About Us

Our founder was an owner of a 50 yr old air conditioning, plumbing and electrical company. Many of his employees and customers had been with the company for over 20 years. His company invested in licenses, permits, insurance, worker’s comp and health insurance for it’s employees. He hired qualified employees and offered on-going training. He made sure someone answered the phone when a new or existing customer called.

With all this history and goodwill in the community, the company still faced some serious challenges. Consumers were shopping for price quotes more than ever. There always seemed to be one or two “discount” competitors who lacked some or all of the expenses his company incurred to protect his company and the customer. He was personally aware of a few competitors who had employees who were convicted of violent or theft related crimes. One of these companies even claimed to background check every employee in their directory advertisement.

The problem was that many of these inferior competitors flat out lied in directory ads, business cards, trucks and literature. Most consumers lacked the tools or knowledge needed to distinguish which companies where legitimate and safe and which ones just claimed to be. Consumers either believed both company’s claims and went with the cheapest price or got frustrated and hired neither.

He realized that anything he and his sales people said was tempered by the fact that they were saying it about themselves. He needed a third party Seal of Approval that customers recognized and trusted. Since this did not exist, he created it. Quality companies now use the Seal of Approval to advertise and compete in their every day business as well enjoying new customers who find them on Ask the Seal.com.
