I've been using Parting Pro with Google ads for a couple months now. Parting pro has made it easy for families to navigate our website and make arrangements from the comfort of their home. Since adding Google ads our call volume has increased! Highly recommend parting pro!
I regret not joining Parting Pro earlier. I felt like I had too much on my plate at the time I initially met with them, and couldn't add another thing to it. If I had realized what an easy process it would be, I would have jumped feet first on day one. From the beginning of the process until today, their entire team has gone out of their way to ensure our success. They have helped me not only keep my current shopper calls, but even gain more I would have never received. Parting pro is the entire package, they have a great user-friendly system, and an amazing staff to help you along your journey. I'm so thankful for Caroline for following up with me and not giving up on my busy schedule. Parting Pro is changing my business for the better and I'm more excited for the future than ever.
I first learned about Parting Pro at a CANA convention in 2019 after working tirelessly to make our website more user friendly. While we had digital forms and an online selection process, it was a constant work-in-progress that never really felt 'right'. Parting Pro helped us take our online abilities to the next level. Finally, we had a system that worked well and that our clients could easily navigate. I've personally enjoyed seeing Parting Pro's growth as well; they're regularly making improvements and adding new features to their service. What has always mattered most to me is the client experience and I feel confident in saying that we're able to serve our families very well no matter where in the world they might be located."
