Mike, in your travels, do you find technically strong inspectors who believe that they're so good that they "shouldn't have to market?" I'm always perplexed when someone tells me that one our programs is "just a marketing gimmick." I've even heard InterNACHI members come out of your class and proclaim "ah, it was just a lot of marketing stuff." I've been involved in many different businesses and it has been my experience that the home inspection industry has a disproportionately larger percentage of individuals that turn their nose up at marketing. Has this been what you've experienced as well? And if so, can you speak to that?

Some members market when they are doing well and have extra profits to reinvest in their inspection businesses, but then reduce marketing efforts during slow times. Would you say that this is backwards?

Nick, IMO market when your doing well and market when your slow. The only time I would slow down is when my marketing is keeping me so busy that now I'm having to turn business away. IMO once you start turning business away your rep could take a hit.

You guys are cracking me up.
I showed this to a few guys here in Vegas and we were spiting up our drinks.
