"The best place to find remote jobs."

I get really annoyed when such blatantly false statements are slapped onto a website. If you can't say that honestly then it is a great opportunity to be creative with messaging and say something that adds value.

This has been a pet peeve of mine for as long as I've been running online businesses. Our competitors are always #1... all of them, at the same time.

How about:

A good place to find remote work.

I/We try our best to find you good remote work.

Still sends the message and positions the service as one that is for the benefit of the user.

It's PIMM (pre-Internet marketing mindset).

Execs or Companies with PIMM have trouble adjusting to the concept that transparency is now often the best way to build trust and strong customer connections to a product, service, company.

They don't realize even when they are wrong or make mistake transparency can still come out ahead.

They don't realize that if you are trying to for example, sell a TV, creating expensive, buzzword laden, high production value marcom, might not be as effective as having a couple of employee subject matter experts make videos for youtube and provide unvarnished, useful information.
