No Power!

If you have an electrical device with a plug in, and it’s just an inch away from an active electrical receptacle, what do you get? Answer, no power.

If you have a football player who misses that long pass down field by an inch, and there is no defender able to catch him, how many points do you score?  Zero.

The point is that some things may be ever-so-close, but still no payoff. Still no victory cigar.

Does that mean you quit?  Of course not. What it means is that the professional in sports, marketing or sales must make that modest adjustment.  Stay focused on the prize. Close is…close...

Part of the value in having a third-party expert consultant or coach is objectivity.  We take our own advice here. We have the leading – the #1 – platforms of their kinds in MH, but from time to time, we’ll get a third party to give us a good look and render professional feedback.  That keeps us focused on our own advancement.  To do otherwise is what Brits call penny wise and pound foolish!  You can stingy yourself into bankruptcy.  Sadly, I’ve seen people in MH do exactly that, fail to invest in what makes their businesses advance.

When I come to a location or place of business –  or consult by phone and web –  with a firm like yours, we bring decades of experience to the table.   That means we can often spot-at-a-glance what needs to be adjusted.

Many in MH are in a sea of possible prospects! They are swimming with individuals, couples or families who want what you have to offer:

  • in a land-lease MH Community,
  • as an MH or Modular retailer or with,
  • financial or other services.

What is needed may be modest.  But that tweak, that extra-inch may be keeping you from a gold mine. We know firms spending huge sums of money, they may ‘advance,’ but how far are they actually moving the needle?  By contrast, we’ve learned the fine art of squeezing every dime, and making it hollar ‘dollar!’
