Default InterNACHI Marketing Club

Recently InterNACHI headquarters has been presented with a number of marketing and advertising opportunities for our members. There are varying costs associated with each of these opportunities that go beyond the standard membership dues. This survey is to assess InterNACHI member's interest in participation in an "InterNACHI Marketing Club". The goal of the club is to help promote club members in their market areas.


Thank you for your participation.

Ron I am always up for some marketing. Just need more info to really commit to a dollar amount.

I am already trying to do this with some inspectors in Florida. Just the question is kinda vague for me to commit. But, at the same token I am willing to spend money to make money.

Nebulous question.
What is your part in this and is it a money making for profit opportunity for you personally.
Anyone answering yes to the poll is foolish at this point .
Look forward to response when I return.

I can say this. I met Ron Huffman and there is one sharp guy. Honest, kind, and I really think he is genuine in his offerings. Now how much does he make on these deals? I actually could care less. The real question is what is my return on investment. If I give Ron $1000 and he keeps $999 and uses just one towards an idea that makes me $100,000. Then what do I care?

I know his last attempt I think cost CMI about $800....

Thank you for your participation.
Since InterNACHI is, for all practical purposes, a "marketing club" in itself...perhaps you will be kind enough to explain how this club within a club idea is going to work.

For instance, will an inspector who chooses not to market himself to real estate salesmen in his area (such as myself) find himself paying for marketing materials being mailed to real estate salesmen?

References please?
19 posts and a big idea to ask for money is what I see so far.

When business is slow just start a school or sell marketing and I see nothing here other than a plea for money.
The guys who call everyday on the phone at least promise to make me number one on Google before they try and empty my pockets.

I agree that we already have a marketing club and this reminds me to much of tiers as in CMI.
Does Nick have knowledge of this or is it spam?

I can't believe anyone willing to commit to the first year at $200 per month, when they have know idea of what there getting in return.

Personally I'm not interested in this pay-to-play using InterNachi's name, it doesn't seem ethical or fair to members who do not, or can not afford, to pay, and will create an unfair playing field for other InterNachi members who pay regular membership dues.


Also I wonder if Joe Farsetta knows anything about this?

BTW... aren't we gonna need a Logo for "this"?

Um, If you guys don't know who Ron Huffman is you may not have been paying attention. I'm not sure what he's offering yet but I do know it's not a scam.
