What our Partners say…
Directly Competitive Web Design Partner …
• “GHI’s SEO Services are flat out better than several nationally acclaimed Internet
Marketing Houses located in California and NYC; I should know, I used those agencies for
my clients and thankfully switched to GHI recently. My clients’ projects are experiencing
better ROI with significantly improved project planning and reporting; GHI is cheaper, and
I doubled my company’s residual income from these services while reducing my clients
expenses by more than 40%. Quite frankly, GHI does not charge enough.”
Directly Competitive Web Design Partner …
• “Within 18 days of signing my GHI VASP Program Contract I generated a 300% return
on my entire VASP investment. I earned 100% of my investment back and generated
$3,000 in bottom line profit! My payback period was less than 3 weeks after closing just
ONE web site design and development deal leveraging GHI's International Vendor
Program. I can't imagine the profit and revenue from this program after 3-5 years reselling
not just one web service, but 10, or 20 other products and services. Thank you Pete Radke
for introducing me to this excellent add-on program to my core business."
Make Yesterday’s Work Keep Working for Your Tomorrows™
What our Partners say…
IT Consulting Partner …
• “We have been in partnership with GHI for three years remarketing their
SEM, Email, and Web Design Services; to date we generated more than
$180,000 in revenues wholesaling these services.”
• “We also consume GHI’s SEO Services and as a result have had to hire an
additional inside sales rep to handle the increase of online leads Google
and GHI’s SEO Services generated.”
Marketing Ad Agency Partner …
• “Their telecom solutions have generated more quality, high profit residual
income to our business than any product or service we have ever brought to
the market.”
• “And their SEM Program is generating more than $90,000 per year for
us in recurring revenues with about 90% of that as bottom line profit.”
Make Yesterday’s Work Keep Working for Your Tomorrows™
What our Partners say…
Business Growth Advisor Partner …
• “GHI’s entrepreneurial spirit is embedded in their supportive partnering
infrastructure – flexible to our needs, responsive to our clients, and easy to
work with; not to mention, their products work while providing significant,
profitable margins for my business.”
• “Frank is an entrepreneurial dynamo, a technology veteran, and a driven
service provider. His vision as an implementer and distributor of technology
solutions makes him someone you not only want to do business but should
do business with. His services are great and his value is terrific. Don't just
watch what Frank is doing for your business, watch what he is doing
with GHI and you we be a double winner!”
