Tim Butler - Benchmark Registrar Representatives Reviews
May 9, 2014
If you are looking to get ISO certified and have been approached by Tim Butler of owner of
Benchmark Registrar Representatives - - Don't just walk away - - RUN!!!
I own a company in Massachusetts and I recently became interested in having my company ISO certified. I found the website of Tim Butler, owner of Benchmark Registrar Representatives. I noticed his website was really cheesy and full of sales hype, so I should of known better. But I contacted him anyway - - what a MISTAKE! I knew the moment this guy opened his mouth he was one of those fast-talking pushy sales types. He reminded me of a used car salesman from the 1970's -- you know the type -- they would look you straight in the eye and lie through their teeth with a fake green just to get a sale. Well, that's Tim Butler - - I was put off immediately by him the moment he started bad mouthing his competitors – - that was the first red flag. Then he claimed he's the only one that can offer me an ""official"" ISO certificate - - there was the second red flag. In fact, according to Tim Butler certificates are not valid without an ANAB (ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board) accreditation. He had no idea I did my research and learned rather quickly the seedy sales tactics and downright lies these ISO salespeople use to close a sale. I'm glad I did because it saved me over $9,000 dollars! Let me explain...
LIE #1: ACCREDIDATION SCAM TACTIC
I asked Tim Butler, the owner of Benchmark Registrar Representatives what makes his certificate valid and others not valid? He told me straight to my face, ""Our certificates are ANAB accredited while our competitors that do not carry that accreditation is not valid."" I was appalled because I knew he was lying through his crooked teeth. You see, on the official ISO website (www.iso.org) I found the following excerpt...
""In most countries (including the United States), accreditation is a choice, not an
obligation and the fact that a certification body is not accredited does not, by itself,
mean that it is not a reputable organization. For example, a certification body operating
nationally in a highly specific sector might enjoy such a good reputation that it does not
feel there is any advantage for it to go to the expense of being accredited. That said,
many certification bodies choose to seek accreditation, even when it is not compulsory, in
order to be able to demonstrate an independent confirmation of their competence.""
So if you have the unfortunate opportunity to be approached by a sales person boasting
about ANAB accreditation, refer him or her to the above excerpt found on the official ISO
website. Then tell them to get lost! DO NOT FALL FOR THAT SCAM TACTIC!
