The other two get a good response. We have gotten lots of calls, and even a lot of investors from calls off the trucks." He gave an example of someone he was selling a house to that said, "I saw 3 of your trucks today." But, Scott says, "They were all the truck I was driving. People think we have a whole fleet, but it is really only two trucks."</p> <p>What are the plans for the new truck? "We just moved to a new office. It is a prime location with a lot of traffic. We are simply going to park it out front. Our plan is to drive it once a week to keep it running, but then simply keep it parked along the street."</p> <p><img height="300" alt="We Buy Ugly Houses Truck" width="400" src="/blog/fckfiles/image/JIG_truck3.jpg" /></p></blockquote> http://www.homevestors.com/blog/article.php?id=859 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:30:00 CST http://www.homevestors.com/blog/article.php?id=858 <blockquote>Private blog entries can only be read directly on the <a href="http://www.homevestors.com/blog/article.php?id=858">HomeVestors.com website</a>.

So, when he said he was impressed, I listened.</p> <p>I was not surprised that he was impressed byBobby Roan, one of our most tenured franchisee. What was so impressive?Bobby was reviewing a couple pages filled with numbers. When Larry asked what it was, he shared with Larry his key metrics for every year he has been in the business. And, not just for every year, but for every month! From Calls to Buys!</p> <p>It is no wonder that Bobby has been successful all these years. He keeps and reviews his numbers. He had them all, by month, on 2 pages!</p> <p>Reminds me of a saying one of my mentors always used: <em>Any Number Watched Improves.</em></p> <p>Do you track the key metrics in your business? Are your running your business "By the Numbers" or by your feelings? Reminds me of another saying: <em>The Numbers Never Lie! </em></p> <p>So, do you want to improve your numbers? Begin by tracking them!</p></blockquote> http://www.homevestors.com/blog/article.php?id=847 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 06:00:00 CDT http://www.homevestors.com/blog/article.php?id=846 <blockquote>Private blog entries can only be read directly on the <a href="http://www.homevestors.com/blog/article.php?id=846">HomeVestors.com website</a>.
