From contractor to inspector?

Yes. We don’t raise dues on existing members but every few years we raise dues on future members.

More importantly though, my advice to you is really meant for my inspector members. Your comments just happen to be the perfect comments to point to when offering that advice. We have inspectors who say the same things as you did: They “consistently turn down work,” they “don’t need marketing,” they “do zero marketing,” they are only “moderately successful from an income standpoint,” etc.

They think the purpose of marketing is to get them more work and so they make bat shi-t crazy statements like “I don’t need any more marketing as I already turn down work.”

They have it backwards. The inspection industry, especially in licensed states, limits the amount of work you can do with your own two hands (there are only so many hours in the day). And so the purpose of marketing isn’t to get more projects to do… but rather to turn down more projects.
