gleff, I'd be glad to participate in any accreditation courses you'd like to start!
I'm not trying to be the foremost expert on every single type of award, but I do know that I know
how to get the right information and walk people through getting the best possible award. My clients have been extremely satisfied so far and that's all that matters to me. As far as my services, I'm not trying to be a miracle worker and make awards happen for every single person that approaches me. I have turned away potential clients whose expectations are unrealistic. I also don't charge a fee if I can't end up helping a client.
In all reality, there may be a handful of people doing this, but there are millions of people who are downright confused with points and miles. I'm not trying to steal anyone's business and I'd be open to discussing my experiences with the others who are doing this.
