  • Ken:

    I just received our chocolate houses today… thank you so much!  It even looks (and smells) like you guys painted them in our colors, just for us.

    My wife and I really appreciate all you do for us.  We are both listening to your CDs just about every day, soaking up all that good stuff.  We so much want to get my wife home from the job and have her in the business with me, and the Ken Compton stuff is going to help us move up the time table for that. 

    Just because you don't here from us much, don't think you are not making an impact; it's fun and exciting to be moving in the direction we are headed now.

    Thanks!

    Hi Ken,
     
    Sometimes as a teacher you like to know that your students are listening. Today, I made my deposits (chocolate houses) in my targeted offices. Things went real smooth with some positive feelings. I will be doing my follow up calls next week. Should I wait a few weeks before I try to put out any more information in these offices? I will be sending out postcards to other offices in my area on the 29th.

    I am looking forward to growing this year, keep sending out the good advice. Again thanks for all that you do.

    Ken,

    I have been listening to some of the CDs that you sent-- great stuff!!

    I am extremely impressed with you and what you are doing-- I do not understand how you have the time to wear so many hats-- I will read Dan Kennedy's book today!
     
    Thanks again,

    Hello Ken,
     
    Thank you for sending me all of the CD's with the valuable information. This will take me awhile to listen to all of them. I am implementing my first strategy and it will be emailing my prior clients.  I am energized to grow my business and appreciate the information that you have shared with me and the time you spent on the phone with me.
     
    Thanks,

    Ken this is some great information. I didn't even think about profiling. Please, keep the advice coming. This is all new to me.

    Hey Ken, I like to keep you posted on my success. Since joining your inner circle my small home inspection business has grown beyond what I can control by myself within 4 months, which leads me to why I am thanking you. The wife now stays at home with our newborn son, answering the phone, paperwork, and scheduling- What a relief, thanks to your help. From the office presentations, flyer's, direct mail etc. It's all working just fine, the phone rings constantly. What I find most exceptional, is that you practice what you preach: Providing a piece of mind for your clients, is exactly what you have done for my business. A special thanks from the Prestige Home Inspection Family!

    Ken, Thanks for the great marketing strategies. With the "Top Producer" Mailer alone, I have picked up over 6 top producers in my area! Two of them have given me 2 inspections EACH in the past week and a half. I am well on my way to 40 units this month. Thanks Ken. Could not have achieved this without ya!

    Regards,

    Hi Ken, Thanks for taking time to speak with me today. I'm fired-up and ready to put your program and ideas to work. I'm sure I'll have many questions as I proceed.

    Cordially,

    Hi Ken, I just wanted to let you know that I recently had a family emergency in a town about 3 hours away from my home. During the 3 hour drive to and from, I was able to listen to most of the CD's you have sent me in the last few months. I think I learned more and obtained more "Nuggets" as you call them, during that time than I have in the last few years of marketing seminars and classes I have attended. Thanks again for the CD's and please keep them coming. You and your guests provide so much valuable information and the CD's are an excellent compliment to the inner circle program. I appreciate all you and your commitment to my success. Thanks again!

    Ken, just wanted to let you know your doing some great work here! I've always felt if someone could adopt the Kennedy material to our business the results would be outstanding. As it turns out you're the only guy that gets it!

    Thanks,
    Jim Davis,

    Hi Ken, I have been reading and listening to the material that you have sent. Great stuff. Thank you for what you do, it is a great help to someone like me that needs a helping hand in the area of marketing. I have never been real good at selling my-self. Thanks and will talk to you soon.

    Hello, my name is Ken Compton. And I own Southern Home Inspection Services in Atlanta, Georgia.  www.weinspect4u.com.


    Because I Market My Home Inspection Business Very Differently,
    I've Been Able To Obtain Extraordinary Results!

    Here's What I've Accomplished So Far…

    • I generated $563,975.00 in sales in the 1st year of my home inspection business and I WASN'T EVEN A HOME INSPECTOR!
    • In the last 9 years my home inspection company has generated over $7,000,000 in sales!
    • In the last 9 years my home inspection company has served over 23,113 satisfied home buyers and sellers!
    • Almost 40% of my business comes directly from Satisfied Prior Clients!
    • ASHI reports in its 2005 Business Operations Study that the revenue of multi-inspector firms "has steadily dropped over previous years and had decreased by almost 6.1% since 2001".  My firm's revenue consistently grows and we're up again in 2006 by 19% over the prior year!

    We Are On Track To Exceed The $2,000,000.00 In
    Annual Sales Mark In 3 Years Or Less!

    Now, I'm Not Sharing This Information With You
    To Impress You!
    I'm Sharing This Information With You…

    So That You Can See What's Possible For Your Own
    Firm By Using The Techniques I Use!

    Since I Wasn't A Home Inspector When
    I Started Our Firm, I Guess I Should
    Fill You In On How I Got Started In The
    Home Inspection Business…

    In 1996 I bought a new home (because I had to quit claim my old home over to my ex-wife -- but that's another story) ;-)  Anyway, I had a home inspection done on the new house I was buying.  Then a few months later I bought a second home in the North Georgia Mountains.  I called the same Inspector to do that inspection because he had done a great job on my primary residence (he was knowledgeable, informative and very personable -- I was impressed).

    During the course of conversation of both home inspections, the Inspector told me that the inspection business was a tough one.  He said when he was marketing his business he wasn't inspecting and when he was inspecting he wasn't marketing his business.  So his revenue wasn't consistent from month to month.  He'd been in the business several years and he still faced that same challenge.

    I Could Help

    I shared with the Inspector that My Company bought Georgia based service businesses that were struggling, for whatever reason.  I let him know that we would be interested in talking with him about an acquisition of his firm.   He agreed to talk and I moved forward with my due diligence about his firm and the home inspection business in Georgia.  We were never able to come to terms, so I closed my file on the acquisition of his firm.

    However, what I didn't close my file on was the Home Inspection Business.  During the months of research about the Home Inspection Business I learned a lot of interesting things.

    What I Learned

    The market was comprised mostly of one man shops; the inspectors primarily answered their own phones even when they were on the job; a lot of inspectors weren't qualified to do both new construction inspections and inspections on residential re-sales; most home inspection companies were not doing EIFS inspections; also, the real estate community had several significant complaints about the home inspection business as it was in 1997. 

    Here's What I Did
     
    With no home inspection experience, no employees and no business, no one in their right mind would get into the Home Inspection Business -- right?  Wrong!

    The company I sold in 1996, I started with no business and no employees and built it into a multi-million dollar firm in four and a half years. 

    Marketing Is Marketing

    I felt confident I could use the same Marketing Skills that I used to build my prior company, to build a top notch multi-inspector home inspection firm.  So, I called my old head hunter (personnel recruiter) :-) Jim and put him to work finding me some suitable Inspector candidates to interview.  We immediately hired one EDI Certified Stucco Inspector and two Seasoned Home Inspectors.  After our initial hires, we trained several people to be Home Inspectors.

    In January of 1998, Southern Home Inspection Services was launched.  And even though some of my new employees let me down, my Marketing Skills did not!  (PS: In 2002 I got certified as a home inspector and now I work both sides of the business)
