I started in May 2011 and didn't know anything about TER, the forums, etc. Nada. zip.
I remember guys asking me on the phone when they would call, do you have any reviews? or do you know about the erotic review? Reviews, I thought? hmmmm, what does that MEAN. Isn't "no news good news" I would say to them? lol. I had not idea what they were referring to, so I would joke around with clients asking them if they could write a reference letter for me on letterhead. It was pretty funny when I think back on that.
Then, when a client mentioned that he saw a review for me on TER and had thought about writing one but hadn't because he wanted to keep me "under the radar", I had no idea what he meant by that either. (hahahahaha., naïve little Portia) He asked if he could write one, I said "sure". well, about two or three days later, when two or three more reviews popped up, I THEN KNEW WHAT HE MEANT by not being under the radar any longer. OMG. phone rang off the hook. it was nuts.
and SO much Fun!
I think First review popped up in July 2011, but I never really looked at the ad boards or discussion forums until January.
Bri, It was fun to go back and look at my first post here. Thanks for starting this Topic.
I've appreciated having the TER forums tremendously. It's been VERY helpful in so many ways.
