CFB Network: Testimonials

"I have been in business for about one year and have supported Cops and Firefighters in Business during that time. We’re happy to be a part of the network and have done work for nearly a dozen policemen and firemen referred to us in that year. As a result, we offer discounts to all cops and firefighters. The CFB network has been great for us and we recommend it highly to anyone!" ---Michael Manzella,Generations Moving & Storage

"I learned of your referral service through the Broward County PBA Centurion and have been a repeat customer. Your prompt and courteous service is greatly appreciated. I can assure you I will refer your service to friends, family and co-workers. Thank you and keep up the good work.” ---Captain Janine Schreiber, Hallandale Beach (Florida) Police Department

"Cops and Firefighters in Business, what can I say? The CFB referral program generated through the CFB Shopping Mall for my home inspection business is by far my best form of advertisement…AND IT’S FREE! People want to deal with someone they can trust and with CFB referrals they can. They want someone who will be looking out for their best interests. People are always looking for a fair price, but above price, they are looking for someone they can rely upon. In my opinion, if you want to see your service business go, referrals are the way. And, the CFB Shopping Mall is the key." ---Detective Ron Walker, Miami-Dade Police Department
