"Just a quick note to thank you for helping me get a job. last month I downloaded your free "8 simple steps to close more sales". The day before I had presented an estimate to a customer for a project I was really hoping to get. since I had already met with them I decided to follow step 6.... I just found out today that they have hired us to do the project. I know they spoke with other contractors and I'm certain that I was not the low bid but I still got it."

We've helped Remodelers, Roofers, Painters, Landscapers and other home service contractors just like you. Here's a sampling of our most recent success stories.
- "When Can You Start?"
Hi Mike
Here is a great story for you and your system. I got a lead from my website and met with the homeowner. After going over the specs of the painting job I left her my presentation binder and went out to my truck to prepare the proposal. When I came back in, I started to go over the highlights about us and she stopped me and said "I've done my homework, I went to your website and read every page, I mean EVERY page. " So I said "I guess I don't need to go over this and she said she was good. So I handed her the proposal and started to go over it - she looked down at the number took out a pen and signed it. Then she said "when can you start?''
The website content and your tools have made it so much easier to close - in fact I raised my prices 2 months ago and haven't seen any change in closing rate. Awesome. Thanks Mike.

- Real Day To Day Strategies
I wanted to give you and update so you would know how well things are going now. Your systems and your personal guidance both taught me the real day- to- day strategies, both short, and long term ways to look for opportunities that now benefit my business immensely. You taught me that marketing was more than knowing what media to be in, or what to say in an ad or a website. You taught me the personal aspects of marketing, that I only half believed in before, or never thought of at all. All this information makes me believe in myself, and has definitely brought me through some of the toughest times in my business. Now after more than a year, I still find all of this exciting and renewing- making for a good outlook to launching my business in directions that I never thought were possible before.
One specific example; You encouraged me to work with the local paint store and they are recommending me so much that they ran out of my cards this week! They gave me a referral this week and the prospect is basically ready to go just based on the pre-meeting package I sent and havent even met them yet. I have the system down so well that I am closing every job I want. Post
Addendum; I got that job too! This is a lot different from the place I was in when we started working together in 2009. Thanks for all the encouragement and training.

- The Tools Made Us The Obvious Choice
"A Client awarded us this exterior roofing and siding repair project..we were the high bid by $2,600 on a sale of $23,000. The other 2 companies are well known in the area. One is a well known roofing firm and the other is one of the largest siding companies around.
They said that they knew of our good reputation as a general remodeling company but that my presentation and documents I supplied - Consumer Guide and 50 references - made it an easy decision." - Kevin Ahern, Litchfield BuildersBack to top
- Skeptic Turned Believer
"We started with your program in late March and we have already improved our closing rate from 30% to 41% despite the economy and the fact that we are always the "high priced" guy.
JoAnn and I were both skeptical to start - we aren't any more. Your training is teaching us how to get better and better and we are absolutely confident that we will get to a 50%+ success closing rate very soon.
In a market where a lot of our competitors are worried about staying in business we are preparing to add more employees."

- Confidence To Succeed
Dear Mike,
It's been a full year now since we have retained your services and I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with your company. You practice what you preach and everything that you suggested has worked out like a charm.
I'm looking forward to this year with a vengeance and cant' wait to crush the competition. I really appreciate the various levels of help that you give, from the phone scripts, the letters, the ad creations, the encouragement, and the fast response. You are very easy to work with and the motivation that you exude really rubs off on me and gives me the additional confidence to be more successful.
I look forward to working with you again this season and creating a new website that will attract business like a magnet. Thanks a ton and the best of luck to you!

- The Sweetest Words Any Contractor Can Hear
"Mike,
Its been roughly 3 weeks since we started working with Rivers of Revenue (one of those was Thanksgiving) and we have already seen the benefits of this system. Today, I broke out the consumer guide and consumer binder points (minus a couple we hadn't finished building) because I was eager to see this in action. I let the customer review the info while I measured and wrote up the estimate.
After I came back in and went over the quote and answered a few questions, the customer looked at me and said - "I had another quote set-up for this afternoon, I don't see any reason to having them come out. I like you and your company. We'll call you with the colors tomorrow."
Keep in mind we have yet to implement the majority of the system and we are already seeing results."

- Market Leader Getting Ready To Improve His Margins
"Mike,
As the market leader in our area with over 40 painters, we know that our marketing, selling and customer service is very good, but we also know that we are bidding jobs for less than we would like and losing too many bids to our competition.
Companies should continue to adapt and improve or they run the risk that competitors may overcome them the same way Target, Best buy and Netflix did to the once strong K-mart, Circuit city and Blockbuster... who eventually all filed bankruptcy.
Early on we were all excited to know we would be using the closing success system because of the obvious potential it offers. We knew it would help us to better differentiate and communicate the positives of our company over the competition.
I can now say with 100% confidence after actually completing the training and customization process with you this is going to help us to increase our closing ratio and improve our profit margins. I am very pleased with my decision to work with you.
If this can be such an asset to us as the market leader, I know it will be a bigger help to companies that are still struggling to get to the top.

- From Chaos to Getting Real Traction
Hey there:
I know we haven't spoken since we wrapped up all my marketing tools and my website a bit ago - but I am indeed a very happy client.
I am extremely happy to report that all has been "calm on the western wild front" for the past three months.
I have been able to actually focus and gain some traction with my business and I've booked almost $200,000 worth of work in the past month - with much more in the pipeline.
I've been able to much more clearly define my "brand" and the value proposition that I can present to my clients.
What came as a bit of a surprise to me is that a lot of my new clients are from out of town and they either own or have purchased a second home that they want to renovate.
They want to work with someone they can trust to manage their project when they are out of state or out of the country..sweet.
So a very belated thank you for helping me get my business up and running..better late than never.
I really appreciate all of the guidance and support that you provided me. It may have taken awhile to actually implement but it IS working finally now that I have my "head in the game".
All my best to you. Take care,

- Thriving In Michigan
Hi Mike,
I know that some folks won't believe this since I am in Michigan about an hour from Detroit. I have tons of jobs lined up and tons of jobs to design and quote, and I am way behind in my office work. I need to clone myself.
Your system has helped me answer the one question I could never get my arms around - "How come you are so much higher in price?"
The marketing tools you delivered make it so obvious to my clients and if they still don't get it the training on what to say seals the deal and that has definitely put me in a position that my competitors would love to be in.
One more thing - since we are so backed up your advice on getting people with great jobs to wait is brilliant. We don't like to disappoint anyone especially if they came by referral.
I know you dropped everything to get us that and I really appreciate it.
