For some of you who have been around awhile. Is December a slow month? Any tips for getting more business during this time? Am I correct in assuming that people have other things on their mind? That business will pick up after the holidays. Thanks for any replys.

Use a little “inspector/sleuth” creativity to procure me the email addresses of the real estate agents in you local market. I’ll have NACHI email them something that will make them call/try you. Nick

If anyone could or would graph the peaks and valleys of the business; what are the slowest and the busiest months of the year?

Haven't actually used this type of inspection approach myself but would be interested in thoughts and comments.

Hope someone will at least get some ideas from these thoughts! ![icon_smile.gif](upload://b6iczyK1ETUUqRUc4PAkX83GF2O.gif)

Greg-


I’ve been an HI for 5 years and have been keeping exact records on inspections per month, etc. December is always the slowest month, followed by January, and then August. I get 97% of my business from Realtors (see Jan.31 entry under Marketing Materials concerning Realtors). I basically go with the flow, I take a week’s vacation in August and another one in December. This year I’m also taking two weeks off in Sept. for a trip to China.
