    I'm a marketing moron...

    MARKETING 
    Quick observation here guys. They say that when you get around successful, like-minded people, you quickly discover that they want to share info with you, and they want you to do well! That is exactly what I'm experiencing here. I'm hoping that I can give back in some way soon. This is a great...

    Simple trick to boost conversation rate and client fidelity

    MARKETING 
    I hear you buddy. Being genuinely helpful doesn't take up any more time but does have a huge impact. I end most emails in "Please let me know if there is anything else I can help with ok?" and rarely do people ask, but when they do I always oblige. We've had customers tell us they feel like...

    TMF - eye opener!

    INTRO 
    Lol thanks buddy. When I quit the first time they threw a huge raise at me. I came back with a higher number that I needed to stay. They gave it to me without hesitation. At first I was jacked, "Woohoo more money!" Then I got pissed. "Why wasn't I worth that yesterday?" I asked. "You were...

    TMF - eye opener!

    INTRO 
    (I edited the original post for clarity...) All good. I left. They hired 4 people to do what I did for them. The margins were great. I was paid about 1.6% of what I brought in.... It's been almost 3 years since I left and I've spoken with a bunch of their customers - not good. We're in the...

    TMF - eye opener!

    INTRO 
    Hey all, First of all, thanks to MJ for writing the book, and thanks for everyone here that contributes. I grew up with an entrepreneurial spirit, but without anyone to push me in that direction. My parents worked regular jobs and weren't risk takers. My Dad started a business that didn't last...

    How bad do you want it? Enough to go "all in?"

    GOLD! PEOPLE 
    Funny story @randomnumber314, there is a low income duplex two doors down from our shop. A couple months ago one of the tenants stopped me on the sidewalk (fitting location) and asked if we were hiring (construction business). I asked him if he could travel 6 hours away to our jobsites - get...

    Very well put, thanks for that. I understand your message completely but often have a hard time explaining it to others. You've made it easy. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk

    Do you rent or own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I appreciate the reply. Here's a snippet from my accountant. "There may be very minimal short-term benefits of selling your house to the corporation – being able to expense your mortgage interest, insurance, property taxes, etc. The benefit is reduced because the rent would have to be paid...

    Do you rent or own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I own (with a mortgage that is half the value of the house). I hate that I owe money on the house. I'm considering selling the house to my corp and renting it from the corp, at least that way the interest is tax deductible and the payments are made with pre-tax dollars. With a wife and 3 young...

    I'm happy to share whatever I can with you. We operate in a VERY niche market that is almost exclusive to our region. Most of the US is familiar with modular homes (homes built in a factory, usually in halves, or sections which are transported to site with final assembly occurring on the...

    Do it buddy. I'd be jacked to hear what you have to say, especially considering that we're both Canadian! #selfish I don't think that I'm qualified to speak, our business isn't quite fastlane (time and scale fight us at this point), and we've only been in the RE game for 6 months. That said...

    Looking forward to meeting you there! We build new homes in a niche market and own several rentals as well (mostly residential and 1 commercial). I'd love to learn about the vacation rental business. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk
