I have gotten jobs, created alot of friends, joined a brotherehood of guys who are in the same field as I who understand the trade and can exchange in shop talk, I've broadened my scope of learning, learned how other people are doing things and collectively have been able to refine the way I execute jobs, marketing and strategy which has made and saved me money, I've been educated in every aspect of the trade which makes me a more credible tradesman, which again, has made me money, I've come in contact with a wider variety of vendors who have not been able to hypnotize me into bying there products, I've made informed decisions and purchased at my own free will, and on top of it all I am part of something that is ground level. I would be embarrased to be here all this time and not be willing to pay a small membership fee in order to help bring credibility to my trade. I had sushi last nite with my wife. It cost me ten bucks shy of what the board members are asking for membership.
i have been geting some work from this foram i dont often ask were they found me but ive been geting a lot of calls out of pa they found me here
Dan - you don't always ask your potential clients how they found you or heard about you? Just curious. I keep track so I know what is the most effective use of marketing $$, effectiveness of referral programs, web presence etc.
I know I've gotten jobs....at least five, directly from RCIA. There's no telling now many more I've gotten due in part to my high web-site rankings which has improved since I've joined the RCIA.

A LOT of times customers will simply tell you "I have done my homework, that's why I called you" and we leave it at that! I pay the internet bill on this forum guys, and guess what ? All these hits are not just from contractors or wanna be roof cleaners! I run searches all the time for roof cleaning in your towns, I see the RCIA posts pulling up.
hey ted i use to ask 10 years ago but when you do every thing on your own you allready know your targeted area i only ask when i get a call out of state or any thing out of a 30 mile radious (and yes i cant spell)
