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,

Jerry Weaver, OCHI, CRI

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!

Rob Lawrence

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!

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.

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!

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.

Ken, the S.O.C program is great. I am set up and ready to roll. I designed several cards myself, and received your 13 campaigns today - Thank you. I realized today that my marketing skills are improving- I picked 2 of the same card formats that you did for the top producers (Medallion/trophy). I thought to myself, wow- if I'm thinking like Ken, then I must be making some great progress, thanks for all your help.

Hi Ken. I booked two inspections today from the email, and received 4 more emails thanking me for the letter. Also had a realtor tell me "I just wanted to let you know your marketing is working. Your name is in front of me constantly. You are marketing the heck out of yourself!"

Ken, after joining the Inner Circle, I wrote a Marketing campaign on a legal pad and had every intention of following it. I failed to follow through.

So Monday I put my marketing campaign onto my computer and printed it out. I then created and printed out my mailing schedule. I then created a 9 week marketing calendar with each day along the top row and each marketing piece in the far left column. All of these are on a clip board on my desk, so I know what, when, and how many pieces need to go out on a daily basis.

This is the first step to achieving my goals and not an option. This brings clarity and focus and is a constant reminder of what needs to be done in order for me to reach my goals. Keeping track of this will allow me to track what I have done and give me a reference point for what I need to do to continue on my path to success.

Ken, thanks for your constant encouragement.

Ken,

Your sample "office spread sheet" was very, very helpful, thank you. I have it up and running for 2006 and 2007. But now I need something similar for keeping track of clients and realtors. I know, I know you sent one once before but I cannot locate it in my files or on your website.

The office spread sheet is very eye opening. But I'm happy to say that my business to date this year is double last years to date and I have not implemented as much of your program as I wanted to yet. Shame on me. However, I have gotten several things straightened up. I'm anxious to see what happens when I get the rest of the systems going that I have on my agenda. My goal is 40 inspections per month consistently.

Thanks for all the help.

Al Overholser

A&R House Inspections

Hi Ken,

I wanted to let you know my progress after sending the broker letter. I have had six inspections from that office and the meeting was one month ago. One of the agents told me that he would not recommend my competitor (the 199.00) guy anymore. That was really great to hear. The other office that I have my chocolate house in is still not giving me much business. The good news is I have a meeting set with them on June 26. I believe after that meeting I can get them to start referring me more.

I listened to the CD about Marketing in Rural Areas and received a lot of good nuggets. I am at 32 inspections for the year already 20% more than last year. I am not where I want to be, but with all your help and information I will get there of that I am sure. I am still not getting the agents to give me testimonials like I need. If you have any ideas on what I can try please let me know. Again thanks for all that you have done and I will keep you up-dated.

Ken,

Just wanted to say thanks for the quick response yesterday. I didn't want to miss an opportunity, or throw away a bunch of money. I appreciate you sharing your experience and advice on this matter.

John Richards

Ken, Thanks for the advice, this is good stuff. With about 100 agencies in a 5 county area I estimate that there are about 350 agents. I'm going to send out 100 letters by Tues next week. I'll put the guarantee on 50 and 50 without. My wife and I talked it over and we feel that while there are some people who would take advantage most would not.

Since what I've been doing hasn't been working I'm going to try your way, I think I may have to break out of the box I've put myself in and try some new stuff. For the few large agencies in this area I'll differentiate between brokers and agents but for offices around here that are 5 people or less (which are many) I know the brokers are selling, so I'll send them the same material and see what happens. I'll talk to you next week.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your input. You are right; the home inspection business can produce some very bizarre situations. My new website from Hippomarketing Group has swayed two customers this month to use my services.

Hi Ken,

I just wanted to keep you posted on the results of my first direct mail campaign. I sent the endorsement letter to three of my top producing offices and trickled them in through all of last week. As of today, now it hasn't even been a full week; I have scheduled two inspections from agents that never new about my company until that letter. I am truly convinced that a properly run campaign will increase business in a hurry! Thank you for all of your support and truly refreshing marketing strategies.

Good Morning Ken,

I send the original customer comment cards to the agents like you suggest and I usually get good feedback. The following is from Amanda W, Mr. Jim W's personal assistant, and daughter. Jim and Amanda have always complimented my persistence but this is the first time they said they were impressed with my "service."

Hello David!

I just received your customer feedback letter and I must say I have been very impressed by your service and persistence. I hope to send you more business in the future, hopefully here soon. Not only did my clients on Kinkel appreciate your professional inspection, but as their Realtor, I most certainly did too. Thank you once again!!

Sincerely,

Amanda W

Just wanted to share their feedback with you. Thanks again Ken and have a great day.

David Beckner

Hey Ken:

Just wanted to give you an update on my business. Today is June 12th. Between the inspections I have done and what I have scheduled I am at 21 Inspections I am booking into next week. The Direct mail piece, email's and the goodie house all are working great. I am meeting more agents' everyday.

Last Month I did 35 Inspections I am so close to my goal I can Taste It. Thank You for all of your help with the marketing materials and your ideas. The next thing I am going to start using is the lottery ticket. I have been talking it up with the agents and they love the Idea. Also the meeting went great with the Prelisting letter. I will keep you posted on that front.

Like you always say get a plan work the plan. I have seen an increase in my business and I have only been using your system for a few weeks so Look Out. My end in mind is Bring wife Home, Have Lunch with you and then Hire another inspector. It is nice to have goals and see them meet or exceeded. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Evening Ken!

Here is the letter I received this afternoon, three hours after my Sales Meeting with Re/Max Integrity. Keep in mind this was my first such meeting. I also received a call from another agent informing me that she will be adding me to her vendor list as well.

"Hi David,

Saw you at the Re/Max meeting today --- was impressed with what you had to say & will give you an opportunity to do inspections for my buyers ---- at the moment I do not have any new "potential" ---- but, I'm sure that I will have in the coming month.

I give them suggestions as to WHOM to call --- but the choice is their's --- I, like you, reassure my clients that I am not going to disappear after the sale is completed! My business is 99% referral --- I want to know that whomever I recommend is going to do their best to service my buyer/seller --- not just show up & collect a fee for a few hours of labor.

There was a fire in the Royal Oak Estates this month --- due to the dryer vent on the 2nd floor --- caused major damage to this approx 4000 sq ft home.

Look forward to working with you in the future,

JR
Re/Max Integrity"

I have attached the information that I presented at the meeting. I created a presentation outline for them to follow along, and to read afterwards since I only had ten minutes.

They seemed to really be attentive when I directed them to a certain section of this outline. I also presented the "Dog Chasing Man" newsletter that we worked on last month for them to read afterwards.

I put all this information in a plain yellow file folder and paper clipped my business card to the newsletter. And printed out my company name on the tab with a $15.00 label maker from Wal Mart.

I also wrote "Congratulations! You're The Lucky Winner!" on the back of a folder for a free home inspection. This really got a great response from the Agents. I left the meeting just short of a standing ovation!

Since I felt like I was on a roll and in the right frame of mind, and had all the material on hand, I stopped by three more realty offices and scheduled two more sales meetings.

Besides the "Dog Chasing Man" letter, I based my presentation outline on the "Talking Points For Sales Meeting" and the "Top 10 Tips for a Successful Network Marketing Presentation" articles. Keep in mind that I edited these to fit my needs.

I thank you constantly for all that you do for us all, and I feel as if that's not enough. The materials and affiliations that you provide us are extremely effective if implemented. So again, THANK YOU!

David Beckner
Mid-Ohio Inspections

PS: I found this ironic. Our Home Inspection Tip of the Month was about cleaning out your dryer vent and the agent told me of a fire that recently happened here in Mansfield. Your Tip of the Month and Asset Management is an awesome combination! And made me shine!

Hey Ken:

Just wanted to let you know that I went on the web site last night took one of the direct mail letters, copied and pasted it into an email and made some minor changes. I put all of my info in and emailed allot of my past agents that I haven't gotten any business from; long story short I have been getting great response. That was one night, 1 hour I am very excited and I can't wait to do more. Man you were right I will keep you posted.

Thanks!

Ken,

My wife and I own a small one man inspection firm in Richmond, VA. We have dreams of being a multi-inspector firm in the near future. Until a month ago we could not see that happening anytime soon, but because of the Inner Circle and your marketing plan and ideas the dream may become a reality before we know it.

You see, three months ago we were struggling with only 1 to 2 inspections a week and could not figure out what we were doing wrong. We knew that the product that we offer was one of the best, if not the best, in the area but we were still not filling our inspection schedule. No matter what we tried it did not work.

We joined the Inner Circle about a month and a half ago and we are up to averaging 6 to 8 inspections a week. All of this has come from implementing the marketing plan and ideas that you have provided us. We are now looking at hiring a marketing representative in the next couple of weeks and another inspector shortly after that. You provide so much information, and all of it works, that we could pick and choose what we wanted to do. We would like to put all of it in place before the end of next year.

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and dedication to helping us succeed. With that I am sure that our dream will become a reality.

Warmest Regards,

Donald Penny

Hello Ken,

I love your letters....they are GREAT!! If you have any old letters that are no longer on your website I would love to see them. Joining your site has been very refreshing for me. I have to be honest with you....my wife is sick and tired of hearing your voice :-) I listen to your interviews and conference calls for hours at a time. There is sooo much great info.

I was initially going to check your site out for the first month since it was half price, then cancel. Not now, you have exceeded my expectations and I am going to be a long time member.

Ken, You Da Man!!!! Thanks for everything!

I thought I would share this with you guys. I followed you and Gordon Fox's advice and take my kids to fill the candy houses here. I am now going to sponsor monthly birthday parties, speaking at the sales meeting, going to an office charity diner, and got invited to play golf with the Broker in Charge at Myrtle Beach. The receptionist is very sweet and is going to babysit our kids. Your methods work.

Ken, I started my Inspection business in 1999 and it has been a struggle since then. My level of business has been a long up and down roller coaster ride. I never seemed to find a way to market that provided consistent results. I have always believed in what Tony Robbins calls modeling. "If you want to succeed at something find someone who is successful in that field. Do what they do and you will get the same results." I searched the internet several times over the last few years. Looking for a "Coach". A successful Home Inspector who was willing to share his knowledge. In June of this year I found kencompton.com and I have had more success in the last 3 months than in the past several years combined. As you say," It is not a magic pill that takes the place of hard work." It is however a system that has shown me what type of hard work gets consistent results. It is true, "He who implements wins." In September I had my best month ever. Three times as many inspections as in September of last year. I am truly thankful that I found you and all the wonderful people that work with you.

I have a Bachelors Degree in Marketing which has been very little help in building my business.

You Sir, Have a PHD in Results.

Sincerely,

John Watkins
Nashville Home Inspection

Ken,

I first want to thank you for telling me to throttle back. I took the direct mail campaign and got completely out of control with it. Instead of a shotgun approach, I used the full Nuclear Assault approach attempting to have my fall out reach every living being within the 4 surrounding counties. Since I have narrowed my focus I have been receiving calls from quite a few realtors.

Today the realtor I spoke with was not doing a price comparison for her client but actually pre-screened me. She has been receiving my direct mail propaganda for a couple of months now. I asked her how she heard about me, and why she called. Here is her response:

It was time for me to change home inspectors. I have been receiving your mail pieces and I wanted to talk you and see if you are as professional as your marketing materials.

Working the program and staying in her face got me that call. They will be signing the contract today and I will be doing that inspection this weekend.

Thank you Ken for all of your guidance, support and the professional marketing materials that you provide for us.

Hi Ken,

Just a quick note to tell you thank you for spending so much time with us this morning. It was very enlightening, helpful and got my mind thinking about different avenues of earning money. I love the cards idea

I have listened to the cd, David listened to the tape we made this morning of the call (so that I wouldn't forget what you told us to do) and we've both read more information.

I started the database with emails, names, addresses, and phone numbers of local realtors.

I also made three personal contacts with realtors or someone who works for a realtor today. One actually was the owner of the company and was given permission to stop in and visit her anytime.

Had a great day, I'm sure you did to.
