Nick,

Great choice of Businessman/Inspector for an interview.

Regardless of anything Michael Pagoulatos is an asset to this industry, just as others on this BB.

I for one am Blessed by his acquaintance and very fortunate to have him as a Chapter Member.

Who says, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks"

Thanks for this Episode!

Michael P.,

Great job and thanx for sharing your wisdom and experience.

Associating with folks smarter than me has to rub off and make me better at what I am trying to accomplish.

I want to hire him to do an inspection on my house! Lots of confidence without arrogance makes him very convincing. Best episode yet Nick. Thanks

[jessien]

Best episode, BY FAR! This has inspired me.

Thanks, Nick!

[Richard W. Washington]

Thanks Nick and Michael. That was a great interview. Nick, you did not look nervous. Michael, that was inspiring. I went and thought alot about promoting myself in a different way after your words.

[Richard W. Washington]

You are correct. Michael P, the guest, is new to the business. He is booked solid every day and has been for a year. He turns down about 30% of his inspections because he can't fit them in. Like he and I said in the show, the businessman will beat the technical inspector hands down, every time. He's proof.

Had it taken him 10 years to build up his business to the point it is, I would have agreed with you and would have said "10 years to become successful. You've got to be kidding me!" But it only took him 1 year. Hang on his every word.

I saw Michael in Dallas as well. He has a real gift for communicating a sincere
and helpful personality. That is his greatest asset with Realtors.

I charge about $200 more than Michael and I do not solicit Realtors.
Not all inspectors are the same in Texas and you have to educate the
client to this fact.

A good salesman always does better in business and everyone needs
to find their target market.
