I have seen this forum here for a while now and decided to look at it today to see why I should be listening to what you have to say. I have just become the Director of Facility Management for a Investigative and Security service and am very interested in learning more about your prices and advice. Thanks for coming to the Union.

Very intresting,wouldnt mind knowing more
Welcome Bob. I am interested in reading more of your publications. Seems to be a great offer in learning more about the industry as I continue my career pursuit in the Private Investigation industry. Thanks again for the information.
As far as marketing is concenred, I purchased Bob's products back in 2001 and I can tell you from past experience, the application of his materials worked. Not only did I get a plethora of information, but it was the genesis to the knowledge base to build upon in the future.
Since then, I have purchased approximately 30-50 books on marketing techniques. Each and every book gave me a new technique to incorporate into my marketing process. There are two important points that you must realize throughout the life of your business; the first is researching the right clientele base and the second is being fluid. Remember, it takes time to be a known entity, therefore, be patient.

Hello Bob , I'm looking forward to hearing more from you in Level 4.
Hi Bob and Welcome!
I am just now setting up my company and will need help with marketing tools.
Look forward to reading this thread often.

We all have lessons that we can learn from others. This seems to be one of the best. If we all listen to what is being said by others and we all take the ideas that is submitted then we need to sometimes re-arrange the concepts to fit into our individual needs.
There are a lot of resources from which to draw and when I become level 4 I will be most interested in learning from this source,

On the entrepreneurial side:
- I have faced the reality that every sales letter and marketing piece needs to produce results.
- I started and successfully operated my own publishing company.
- As founder, editor & publisher of P.I. Magazine*, America's Private Investigation Journal, I produced a trade publication that had thousands of subscribers on a total of five continents and thousands of copies on newsstands (including Barnes & Noble) around the United States, and my immediate family and I did it without ever hiring one employee.
- In 2003, I sold P.I. Magazine and began doing marketing communications for a couple small companies and currently am seeking a regular position and/or additional clients.
- I've spoken about marketing to small business owners at conferences from Florida to Alaska, always by invitation and at their own expense.
- I've personally helped hundreds of small business owners with their marketing materials, and I know I can help you.
These days I do some marketing communications consulting. My largest client is a half $Billion dollar (annual revenue) health system in Ohio. Yes, that's correct, a half $Billion dollar client; and I assure you they don't keep me around because I'm pretty!
So, quite simply, I've been there, done that, and am still doing that.
