Default Re: Mountain Warranty's hot new website!

Ben,

I am going to give this a trial run. I can use all the "added value" I can get to crush my competition. Seems like there's more inspectors than homes being inspected around here.

Q: I downloaded the promo flyers, and at the bottom it directs the homeowner to your website. But, the website is geared to HI's. I wouldn't necessarily want my clients to see what is there. Do you have plans for a consumer site, without all the sales talk, strategies and costs?

Jeff

Yes—there are plans for a consumer site. It should be up in a month or two at most.

Cheers,

It is sitting in your account.
To all... if you need my attention... don't post. Call me or email me.

The worst thing you can do if you need my assistance is to post on the message board. The message board is for expression and sharing. Not for customer service requests.

Sounds good...is my understanding correct?

*You purchase as few as one or as many as you like and then give them away as part of your inspection (when and to whom you want)? So, I could use this as a marketing tool where a client is getting bids, not sure who they want to use, etc and save the offer where it may not be needed to close the deal?

Input?

I agree mostly with your understanding. Very good. It's a very good marketing too.

I disagree with you in one small respect. Don't "save the offer" as you put it.

Don't hold the warranty a secret until you need it. Tell every potential client everything that you have to offer. Put the warranty on marketing and on your website. Don't save it to close the deal.

Use it to close every deal.

Think of buying a car. A car dealer wants to tell you EVERY feature about the car. They do not hold anything back or save a particular special feature just to close the deal.

If you have something that makes you special, unique and gives you a competitive advantage, TELL everyone. Don't save it.

I agree with my brother when he said, "If it increases the value of your inspection service at a cost less than that value, do it. If it doesn't increase the value of your inspection service (in the eyes of agents or potential clients) above and beyond the cost of that added value, don't do it."
