Informal Feedback to Salespeople:

[saddammolla]

Case Studies (Basic):

Some providers might have presented simple case studies showcasing how their service helped a client recruit a certain number of agents or achieve a specific sales goal. These would be more narrative than data-driven.
Trade Publications and Associations:

Articles/Advertorials: Industry magazines might feature articles or paid advertorials about successful recruitment strategies, sometimes implicitly or explicitly featuring a service provider.
Association Endorsements: An industry association might occasionally "recommend" or partner with a training program or recruitment service, lending it credibility.


When approached by a recruitment service's salesperson, a potential ghana phone number list client might give informal feedback about services they had tried in the past, or their perceptions of competitors.
Internal Company Performance Metrics:

A brokerage might internally track how many agents they successfully recruited using a particular method (e.g., newspaper ads vs. career nights) to assess its effectiveness. This wasn't a "review" from an external source, but it was their own internal evaluation.
Example Scenario (Hypothetical):

Imagine a real estate brokerage in 2000 considering a service that provides lists of licensed agents who recently passed their exams. The broker would likely:

Call a peer at another brokerage: "Hey, I'm thinking of trying out 'AgentConnect List Service.' Have you ever used them? What was your experience like?"
Ask the salesperson for references: "Can you give me the names of a few other brokers who have used your service?" (And then call those references directly).
Look for any mentions in industry newsletters or classifieds.
In essence, "reviews" in 2000 for agent lead generation services were highly personal, often anecdotal, and lacked the transparency, scale, and digital infrastructure we take for granted today.
