Hello and welcome to the More Cheese Less Whiskers podcast. My name is Dean Jackson and today we have a great episode with Peter Van Stratton.

Peter is a exterior cleaner in Vancouver, Canada. He has a really cool opportunity in that he's been using a lot of the marketing ideas we talk about, a lot of the ideas using direct response and thinking about a before unit to generate new business. He's been using some direct mail strategies with compelling offers to start a relationship with him and he's figured out something that a lot of exterior cleaners have not figured out. We had a great opportunity to talk about how to take that knowledge, leverage it, and maybe introduce it to other exterior cleaners, or take that information and create a new opportunity for him to be the before unit for other exterior cleaners, or even create a whole franchise around it.

This is a great episode that's going to be appealing to you if you've figured out something in your business and you've ever wondered, "I wonder if I could," or, "How I could license this or package this or sell this to other people in my same industry?" It's something I call syndication. It's been one of my biggest winning formulas.

In fact, everything that I've done in the real estate world has followed that model. I started out as a real estate agent, packaged up the things that I was doing to generate new business and started licensing it and teaching it to other real estate agents. It's the same model that Joe Polish used as a carpet cleaner, figuring out marketing for his carpet cleaning business, packaging it up, and teaching it to other carpet cleaners. It's a winning formula.

If you have a business where there are lots of other people all over North America or all over the world in the same business you may have the same opportunity to leverage what you know.
