Milestone

[Russell J. Hensel]

Bob - I actually have another business that a person runs for me and it is a home management business because of the snow birds and so many houses sit vacant. We watch and insure that during storms, hurricanes...everything is OK. Well that person was not so organized. HARD HARD worker, just not a SMART SMART worker. I hired a business coach and WOW what a difference they make. He ROCKS and his input has made leaps and bounds. Something that people might consider when slow. We have been very blessed living in a vacation area with great weather year round so business is always good. But in times (holiday area) they can get somewhat slower and this is when I hit education BIG time. I look for weakness in my competition and Pounce on it.....there were no INachi Master inspectors here.....well guess what, NOW THERE IS........there were no home inspectors that were Certified Indoor Environmentalists........NOW THERE IS.........there were no inspectors who delivered the report on site....I think you get the picture...take advantage of the slow time......

I will ,as soon as I get slow.
Actually busy to where I need more sleep.
I am sure it will slow down soon ,as I am surprised to be getting work right now.
Your advice is good as I did that last year ,when I almost quit this business,as it was dead to me in November and December,but that's when I decided to go the opposite direction and work hard to where I am so far.

I have not counted ,but after 30 last year,it is maybe around 150 this year,with no marketing.
The future at least looks promising,though I have a long way to go.Not anywhere near satisfied.

For some reason ,I have been getting lots of referals .
Also many that call cold say I am getting reviews on social sites, but I have not seen them.
Yelp was mentioned and Twitter.
Guess I am not searching right.
I know almost all of my clients fit into 3 catagories.
Lawyers ,Judges and Engineers,but have no idea why?
Lastbut not least , I have my websites, which you may notice are a different format ,as I gear them a certain way.
Remember when asking other Inspectors what they think, that they are not your target.
Think about it!
