S.T.O.P. has one goal: TO HELP YOU BUILD A COMPANY. A cleaning and restoration firm can approach success from two different sides. Some choose to market their restoration services to the retail buyer. This requires big expenses for yellow page ads, newspaper and billboard advertising, etc. Insurance companies don't favor firms that make this attempt to "short-cut" or to "spike" insured losses in this way, and usually remove these companies from jobs halfway through their work. Most evident is that repeat customers are also rare since a homeowner will not likely have another fire or water damage problem. We call this a "doing jobs" approach, as opposed to the following marketing approach that allows one to "BUILD A COMPANY."

It is a commonly known fact that large, highly successful restoration companies specialize in serving not only the victims of disaster, but also cater to insurance companies that pay (and recommend contractors) for restoration work. This approach requires a very deliberate and sophisticated marketing system. S.T.O.P. marketing training and support focuses on insurance companies and other viable sources of work and will separate you from unprofessional competition. The best news: You will develop relationships in the insurance industry that will continue to feed you consistent work and give you endless opportunities for growth.

Marketing systems and creativity have been the foundation of our consulting work since 1971. You'll soon understand and believe in a traditional, often heard S.T.O.P. phrase: Marketing fixes everything!

In 1971, after moving through the ranks of industry (General Dynamics, Honeywell, BF Goodrich [Rohr]), Mack Clark set out on his own to provide small companies with the management and production tools he had learned from Big Business. By the early 80's, he had "earned his stripes" and has ever since been considered the premier management and marketing consultant to the building trades. He's still at it everyday; on the phones and available to you along with a staff of expert management & technical consultants...just ask our franchisees!
