As I said, though, there are many, many ways to market onself. I got 152 inspections last year from my Referral Rewards Program
which has absolutely nothing to do with the Internet.

It's quite simple, really.

After the inspection, my Client gets a link to Referral Gift Checks bearing his name as the referrer. Client then gives gift checks to family, friends, associates, and acquaintances. When I do a home inspection for those people, they get $20 off on their inspection. After their inspections, I send my Client $20 for each Gift Check that was used and which bears his name.

So for last year, my average inspection fee was $752.
152 x $752 = $114,304 gross income.
I sent the referrers $20, so
152 x $20 = $3,040 in referrer fees.


That leaves a total net income of $111,264, and that's just for the inspections from the Referral Rewards Program, i.e., past Clients!

I have been running my RRP program since April 1, 2003.
It is the most significant part of my non-Realtor referral business.
Another 11 years and I might not need Realtors at all!

My purpose in creating this program was twofold:

(1) People have great short-term memories and great long term memories, but poor mid-term memories. I believe it's the mid-term memories that come into play when we're hoping that past Clients will be referring us, and if it's poor, we're out of luck. RRP encourages them to pass out gift checks now rather than try to remember us three or four years down the road.
(2) People tend to forget things if they don't use them/associate with them often. So three or four years down the road, they don't remember me, regardless of what they think about the job I did for them. RRP doesn't make them try to remember.

I was the same way for the longest time. Just "take a bite at a time," Chad. It doesn't take a lot of time to get the first few features going; say, your agreement, and a couple of automated emails. Good Luck! Call them, to schedule a one-hour personal webinar session . Call today, for a slot for next week, Chad!
