Default The Power of the INachi Message Board.

I know most of you know this but just wanted to share a call I received yesterday.

I posted a few weeks back about a product called Smart Shingles.

A local Real estate agent that had a 20 year old roof was interested in this product for her home. She could not find very much information. See was searching on the internet and noticed the post I had started so she called me. I gave here my opinion and talked for 10-15 minutes.

So when clients, agents, general public are searching on the internet there is a good chance are post will be seen. (Thanks Nick for excellent SEO)

And also keep in mind when you speak out of line or inappropriate there is a good chance others outside of Inachi will notice and it could hurt your business reputation.

I have had agents, general public contact me on other posts as well, like the Lennox furnace recall.

The agent that called about the smart shingles appreciated the time I took and hopefully see will refer me down the road.

Have a good one and mind your P's and Q's

So true.

I get several calls each month from people referencing a post of mine from this message board.
