My voice mail does nothing for me. I need to go do a roof top deck inspection at UD.

Wallace,

What exactly do you mean by this question?

I have seen many questions asked through the years here, and frankly I don't really know what your actually asking.

You hope joining the only inspector association which has more education available and marketing ideas than any other one on the planet will make your phone ring?

Sorry, but you lost me, are you asking having your name, website (if you have one), on all the different "Inspector Locator" sites INACHI owns will make your phone ring?

I don't know if I ever received an inspection by being on the various Inspector Locator sites or not, and really do not care. I did not join hoping my phone would ring from someone wanting an inspection quote, but my phone has rang from many of the great friends I have met here, and I have called many of them also....if you want one of use to call you I will, if you don't understand what the association is for.

This association too me is for inspector information shared here on this MB, marketing ideas, what works for some, what does not for others, what might work in some parts of the country may not work in others, education, education, education...I do not believe I have ever come to this message board and didn't learn something, or find a different way to do something, whether it be marketing, or how to inspect or evaluate something differently.

There is a "Joke Section" on this message board also, you could check that out to if there isn't anything else here you don't already know or want to learn.

If you read through all the marketing ideas in the marketing section here, and don't increase your business, you're doing something wrong.

Let us know what you mean by your post, we will help you believe me.

I think he was expecting staff to call and welcome him or something.

Staff is pretty busy with stuff like www.nachi.org/success.htm

Welcome though.

If Nick is willing to send you back your membership fee I would use it to take remedial English course if I were you.

True, but....OUCH!

Maybe he was expecting to land a few of those tens of thousands of inspections a year in insert state name generated by InterNACHI".

Wallace,
I hope you didn't expect to join this organization with the idea that the phone will automatically ring for inspections. Getting the phone to ring is up to you and it takes time, period! I did not receive a phone call for the first 50 days I was in business. Talk about demoralizing. Plus I started the biz in January/February. Then after the first call things started to happen. Was it due to INACHI getting my name out there, probably not. It was due to the fact that I went out and got my name and face in front of buyers, Realtors, bankers, etc. Did INACHI help, you bet! I followed the business success tools, viewed the marketing section of MB, read how other inspectors became a success, joined the local INACHI chapter. Plus I joined the Chamber and a networking group.

INACHI is a great help to those starting out and seasoned inspectors as well. Good marketing plans to use, questions answered from members on a variety of things. Look at all the benefits one can get from this organization listed throughout this Website.

Don't start putting blame on the organization, start putting in place a plan to succeed and it can happen.
