CPIC CHECKED - NOT ONLY FOR RETAIL BUSINESS

Cpic checked system is great for B to B,  We originally implement this system for retail, however, due to popular demand, we are utilizing it for business to businesses.
We believe that  your company should be proud of it's criminal free status and freely boast it. This creates positive trust and transparency between businesses and goes beyond a mere hand shake.

CPIC Checked means more than building trust, it's about having a competitive edge over your competitors, if consumers have a choice, make sure they choose yours.

It's a fact, it's a "dog eat dog world" out there, so how does a typical vendor survive?  The most common answer is "do whatever it takes" great answer! but what does that really mean?
I think this means you have do more than everyone else.  Here's a quick analogy, you have 3 lemonade stands in downtown Toronto, all selling similar drinks, with similar cups, and with similar prices.  The employees even appear to look alike and the staff are chanting still advertisements "get your lemonade here, cold and refreshing".

A potential customer, strolling past the lemonade stands will first observe, and hear the vendors, and yes, they are thirsty. Which stand will they buy the lemonade from? Maybe the first stand, due to our lazy human nature? maybe the one with the nicest smile? maybe the one with the nicest personality? maybe the one who looks happy to be selling something?.. Who knows.  However if you see that one stand the has a sign and even shows you that they wash their hands and each lemons and they use new cups, Thats the stand where i will buy because i trust them, and know that they care about me. "I take 2 large please!"
Sorry to the long drawn out example, but this is why CPIC Checked was created.  To differentiate themselves from others by being transparent, which promotes trust and relationships.
Make sure that your place of business has been screened for criminal record checks, and show off this fact!

Our very first post with CPIC checked.  We are a private "watch dog" organization that specializes in screening companies big or small, for criminal record checks.
How many times have you dealt with companies where you handed your personal items such as smartphone, computers, and vehicles and ever wonder, can i trust this person or place?  The scary part, is that more and more people are using their personal devices such as smart phones and tablets to stay in touch, take pictures, bank, shop, and socialize. Our devices have attached themselves to our hips, that they have a high financial and emotional value, and this is the main reason why you need to know who you are turning your devices over to.

We have created a system to keep retailers accountable and transparent.  This transparency creates long lasting loyalty to their customers and clients.
Our System requires all eligible staff (retailer) to be screened for criminal records past and present.  We understand that being transparent will solidify trust and develop an arms length relationship, which is ALWAYS EARNED AND NOT BOUGHT.  We have joined forces with FIPS Canada (fingerprinting and pardon agency accredited by RCMP).
