\"\"<\/a>The Better Business Bureau (BBB) Serves 24 Counties Across Northwest Ohio & Southeast Michigan<\/strong><\/p>\n

They build confidence in the marketplace by promoting honesty, transparency, and accountability between businesses and their customers.<\/p>\n

By Dr. Linda Alvarado-Arce<\/strong><\/p>\n

For more than a century, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) has helped people find businesses they can trust. The Northwest Ohio & Southeast Michigan BBB, based in Toledo, serves 24 counties and is part of a nationwide network that builds confidence in the marketplace by promoting honesty, transparency, and accountability between businesses and their customers.<\/p>\n

When Lane Montz took over as President\/CEO, a little more than three years ago, he says, \u201cone thing that stood out immediately was the disconnect between our traditional BBB presence and what is clearly a very active Latino business community in our region.\u201d According to Montz, \u201cOur Latino businesses \u2013 indeed, the entire community \u2013 contributes enormously to the economic and cultural strength of Northwest Ohio, yet many Latino-owned businesses have not historically been as connected to the BBB as other populations,\u201d and Montz\u2019s wants to change that \u201cbecause the BBB isn\u2019t a government agency\u2014it\u2019s a community-based, nonprofit, organization that helps good businesses stand out, and it helps customers find those trustworthy businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earning a BBB Accreditation signals a commitment to integrity, fair treatment, and responsiveness, which are values that run deep in the Latino business community. Through the BBB, Latino business owners can take advantage of five key benefits:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Trusted Business Seal that shows customers they can be confident in your business.<\/li>\n
  2. Brand amplification through marketing and visibility.<\/li>\n
  3. Community partnerships and recognition through local BBB-endorsed events.<\/li>\n
  4. Business education and insights through workshops, webinars, and training programs.<\/li>\n
  5. Exclusive member savings to reduce costs and boost profitability.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    President\/CEO Lane Montz\u2019s goal for the BBB \u201cis to build lasting relationships and make sure Latino entrepreneurs see the BBB as a true partner\u2014one that shares their values, supports their growth, and helps every honest business thrive. I have no doubts that strengthening connections between the BBB and our Latino community will significantly benefit both, and I can\u2019t think of a better place to start than partnering with La Prensa.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Beginning in January, President\/CEO Lane Montz and his staff will produce a digital (online only) monthly consumer\/public newsletter that will contain fraud & scam education and warnings, while also promoting various community programs, including those related to mental health, and they will be publishing information in La Prensa- so stay posted.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a>El Better Business Bureau (BBB) \u200b\u200bpresta servicios en 24 condados del noroeste de Ohio y el sureste de Michigan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Fomentan la confianza en el mercado al promover la honestidad, la transparencia y la responsabilidad entre las empresas y sus clientes.<\/p>\n

    Por la Dra. Linda Alvarado-Arce<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Durante m\u00e1s de un siglo, el Better Business Bureau (BBB) \u200b\u200bha ayudado a las personas a encontrar empresas en las que pueden confiar. El BBB del noroeste de Ohio y el sureste de Michigan, con sede en Toledo, presta servicios en 24 condados y forma parte de una red nacional que fomenta la confianza en el mercado al promover la honestidad, la transparencia y la responsabilidad entre las empresas y sus clientes.<\/p>\n

    Cuando Lane Montz asumi\u00f3 el cargo de presidente y director ejecutivo, hace m\u00e1s de tres a\u00f1os, afirma: “Algo que llam\u00f3 la atenci\u00f3n de inmediato fue la desconexi\u00f3n entre nuestra presencia tradicional en el BBB y lo que claramente es una comunidad empresarial latina muy activa en nuestra regi\u00f3n.” Seg\u00fan Montz, \u201cNuestras empresas latinas \u2014de hecho, toda la comunidad\u2014 contribuyen enormemente al fortalecimiento econ\u00f3mico y cultural del noroeste de Ohio. Sin embargo, muchas empresas latinas no han estado hist\u00f3ricamente tan conectadas con el BBB como otras poblaciones,\u201d y Montz quiere cambiar eso, \u201cporque el BBB no es una agencia gubernamental, sino una organizaci\u00f3n comunitaria que ayuda a las buenas empresas a destacar y a los clientes a encontrar esas empresas confiables.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Obtener una acreditaci\u00f3n del BBB demuestra un compromiso con la integridad, el trato justo y la capacidad de respuesta, valores profundamente arraigados en la comunidad empresarial latina. A trav\u00e9s del BBB, los empresarios latinos pueden aprovechar cinco beneficios:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. El Estampa de Negocio Confiable, que demuestra a los clientes que pueden confiar en su negocio.<\/li>\n
    2. Amplificaci\u00f3n de la marca a trav\u00e9s del marketing y la visibilidad.<\/li>\n
    3. Colaboraciones y reconocimiento comunitario a trav\u00e9s de eventos locales avalados por el BBB.<\/li>\n
    4. Educaci\u00f3n y perspectivas empresariales a trav\u00e9s de talleres, seminarios web y programas de capacitaci\u00f3n.<\/li>\n
    5. Ahorros exclusivos para miembros que reducen costos y aumentan la rentabilidad.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      El objetivo del presidente\/director ejecutivo Lane Montz para el BBB es “construir relaciones duraderas y asegurar que los emprendedores latinos vean al BBB como un verdadero socio: uno que comparte sus valores, apoya su crecimiento y ayuda a que todo negocio honesto prospere. No tengo duda de que fortalecer las conexiones entre el BBB y nuestra comunidad latina beneficiar\u00e1 significativamente a ambos, y no se me ocurre un mejor punto de partida que asociarnos con La Prensa.”<\/p>\n

      A partir de enero, el presidente\/director ejecutivo Lane Montz y su equipo van a publicar un bolet\u00edn informativo mensual, digital (solo en l\u00ednea), para el p\u00fablico general que contendr\u00e1 informaci\u00f3n y advertencias sobre fraude y estafa, a la vez que promover\u00e1 diversos programas comunitarios, incluyendo aquellos relacionados con la salud mental. Adem\u00e1s, publicar\u00e1n informaci\u00f3n en La Prensa- as\u00ed que mant\u00e9nganse al tanto.<\/p>\n
