There are many marketing platforms out there, beware. They will all take your money and tell you it takes months to establish a presence. Don’t fall for it! This is their money ticket and escape from accountability. Networking in your market the old fashioned way through face to face, Master Networks meet up groups, blogs, sponsor local events. Be honest, “a person is only as good as their word”, do excellent work and focus on word of mouth referrals. A small service type business shouldn’t spend more than 10% of revenue on marketing when starting out. Be creative!

You should join interNACHI and take their National practice tests and repeat until you are scoring well into the 90 percentile every time. The tests will let you know your weak areas, make sure you devote extra study time where needed. My advice is, don’t over cram the studying the day before,...

You should join interNACHI and take their National practice tests and repeat until you are scoring well into the 90 percentile every time. The tests will let you know your weak areas, make sure you devote extra study time where needed. My advice is, don’t over cram the studying the day before, either you know it or you don’t at that point. Get a good nights rest and wake up with a good attitude!
Wish you the best!

Hi Kenneth, I started using Thumbtack this past year. I have converted leads to inspections, but this platform (like others) becomes a "low baller" platform from your competition. I don't play that game, so I don't net too many inspections from it. Some customers have looked beyond the lowest price and hired me for the quality work I do. You need to pay attention to what they are sending you. Many leads are out of my service area by at 50-100+ miles. They are in the midst of changing how the fees are captured, so read the terms over carefully. Good luck!

Oh yes, furthermore, a tie is not safe to wear for several obvious reasons. I wear a professional and breathable vented short or long sleeved shirt with my logo and serviceable jeans or 511 khakis. I carry a change of clothes for the 2 a days or marketing.

Well, in the State of Texas you cannot wear both hats. It is a conflict of interest. Supra eKEY is a great tool once you figure out how to use it.
