Do not worry about educating people on what CMI stands for they probably do not care. Let the designation sit behind your name as it belongs.
Put the information on your website.
Move on and make money being a good inspector.
Once again Nick, the marketing of it would be good if you actually punished people for using it illegally. Last time someone lied about it, you invited them to join.
Absolute BS, so why not just put it on your site and lie until you get caught? So many people use those initials and you said to just let you now because you have the “trademark”.
Having a Trademark with no enforcement is useless. But keep pimping those three letters. I think the programs idea is awesome, but its implementation and defense is horrible. He’ll one day you might have a president of the CMI’s, selling puppies, pimping a class as a credential and screwing over hard working home inspectors on a refund…ooooops, you got that already. Damn, you got every thing!
Don’t forget Russell, Trademarks are like Patents… if you repeatedly fail to fight to defend your rights, you will lose all rights to defend it. I suspect that has already happened, which is why Nick doesn’t do anything about it. He can’t!
So I need to change my company name from JPI Home Inspection Service too? Man that sucks, I thought I could ride his coat tails, I means he is in Cali, I am in FL. Who would know the difference.
I don’t use Jeff’s trademark, his is " If your Inspector is not using thermal imaging, your not getting the whole picture"
I use “When your inspector is not using thermal imaging, your not getting the whole picture”. See the difference.
So now my employes who was going to change his name to Jeff Pope should stop? Damn, I better stop the legal procedures from getting mine changed to Nick Gromicko.
Jeffrey you’re a buzz kill and ruining all my marketing ideas!
Correct. You have to defend your marks. There are two ways to end CMI infringement… one of them is to have the inspector infringing on our mark to simply apply for and become a Certified Master Inspector.
A CMI who claims to be a CMI is no longer an infringing.
You have to understand my goal. It’s not to punish inspectors for using a tool (CMI) that works to help feed their families. Not my M.O. I want all inspectors to succeed and earn a really great living.
My goal is, always has been, and always will be… world domination (every God-forsaken corner of it).
I have understood that from day one and you could care less who you screw over on the way there. It matters not to you as long as you get what you want.
Your posts are usually just that, absolute bs to make ole Nick and his crew some change.
Point is the post above. St. nick, just wants people to use his CMI TOOL, to make a living, so go ahead and all people use it and when you get caught then you gotta pay.
that makes no freakin sense, you just screwed over all the people who are actually legit in the same area.
Just so I can get this right, the way to become one of the most elite professions is for it to cost about $1000 to get into with tools and all, read and look at a few videos on line, become a member of an organization that does not care if you actually do your continuing education or not, just send in the money.
Really? That’s your plan? Your breath must smell like poo, just you talk a lot of sh!t. Sad thing is some actually fall for it, but then again they will be replaced in a year or two with some of your new recruits that you can feed this regurgitated BS to again…
You will soon learn Nick, it’s not you or your staff the make NACHI, it’s the members and since being here most of your talent has pretty much left this message board and most of your “members of the year” don’t even come here or support NACHI really.
