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 Elite Home Inspection Services, Inc.
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,
David Goldberg RHS Inspections
Ken this is some great information. I didn't even think about profiling. Please, keep the advice coming. This is all new to me.
Mark Roach A Professional Home Inspection
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!

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!

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,
Assurety Inspections
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.

And because I'm an effective marketer, I plan on being around for my 20th year in the business as well, regardless of what happens in the industry or in the market.
I invite you to click on the link below and invest 2 minutes of your time to learn what I have to offer that will allow your to significantly grow your own home inspection business.
Invest 2 minutes of your time and learn how I can help You!
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

Ken,
You Have Changed My Life!
I will do over forty inspections in October. That is more than any other month
ever since 1999.
I am truly grateful.

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

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.

Ken,
I opened my mailbox today and it was stuffed with CD's, coupons, newsletters
and more.
I'm still going through it all. This is just what I have been looking for.
Thank you!

Thanks Ken, your web site looks great. Many great ideas to pick from and work
with. The number and value of your ideas indirectly reminds me of a favorite
quote . . . "Always aim for stars. Even if you miss, you'll land pretty
high up anyways." Keep up the good work.

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.
