"Thanks for all the help over the past year and pushing me to join. We got so much out of it that the excitement is hard to contain. We cannot understand why we were so hesitant to join and now feel that we don't want be go on without Roundtables!"
"This sharing mentality coupled with the business savvy are the greatest strengths of Roundtables."
"What did I like best? Probably the comradeship and everyone pulling for everyone else. I have never been in a situation that I felt as free to really share my feelings this openly. Normally I am a pretty closed individual. But you and started by Linda have provided a platform to discuss our businesses and our lives in an extremely open way."
"First let me say I wish I had joined before. I was extremely impressed with the sincerity of all. I always felt that they had my best interest at heart and were not trying to impress me or make themselves look good. Several times they showed their commitment to the program and the person on the hot seat by not letting the person get by with their "stuff" but by calling them on it and holding them accountable for what they are doing in their companies. They also made me feel welcome from the minute I first met anyone of them. There were a ton of great IDEAS to bring back but I need to work on my commitments first - one bite size bit at a time."
"We benefited greatly from this conference. It helped to crystallize some of the ideas we were already working on, see more clearly what we need to do, and motivated us to move ahead. Going through the process of analyzing another company gave us a method of looking at things that was fresh for us. Since then, we've also exchanged specific marketing and management info with fellow members."
"I thought that the fall meeting was the best RA meeting that I have ever attended. Thank you and kudos to Linda, Vic and the Remodelers Advantage staff for a splendid experience."
"Attending this meeting brought a new understanding of Roundtables and how this system, values, etc…. will do nothing but benefit our company. Also, wanted to let you know the hotel was great, meals were great and most of all Jim was absolutely a perfect facilitator."
"This meeting was awesome. The networking and information gathered was incredible."
"We always look forward to the Roundtable meetings- the camaraderie, support and new ideas we take away are awesome- we feel very fortunate to be members- and many thanks to Victoria and Linda for the very valuable organization they have built!"
"I have a lot of people to thank for my successes over the years, but I feel that you and your company have helped me tremendously and I will continue to support you."
"I just wanted to thank you for getting me into Roundtables. I feel like I've come home."
"Last week's meeting. Remodelers Advantage is a great blessing for us!"
"I have been a Roundtable member for about 7 years. The benefits of belonging over the years are priceless. My business would not be where it is today if it were not for all the help I have received from my group along with the many years of expertise from both Linda and Victoria."
"Thanks again to everyone at Remodelers Advantage for a job well done! It's obvious that you all are paying attention and are constantly inventing new ways to improve these meetings and the experience for everyone involved."
"We left this meeting with a clear and concise list of action items, which I actually felt confident, were doable and would greatly benefit my company."
"I know I've said this before but it's worth repeating; the Roundtables has had a profound influence in my business life, so a lot of the above can be credited to you and Linda."
"You guys do great work. We are so proud to be a part of your organization and know it has helped and will help us get on the right path."
"In any case thank you. Thank you for caring for me during the times I seem to not listen, thank you for fighting through my early resistance to help me get to the reward that we find through action. Thanks for not giving up on me when others might have, even know in many ways we are strangers. I am proud to be part of Roundtables."
"I just wanted to tell you and Linda how happy George and I are to be members of Roundtables. Every meeting we go to we leave with so much good information and ideas to implement into our business. We can't tell you how great it is to bring our business problems to the meeting and get so much help with ideas of how to fix them."
"The camaraderie of Roundtables and getting to meet and know people across the country has made our business so much more fun. Thanks to you and Linda for having such a great organization, and for always looking for ways to improve it."
"I wanted to send you a short note to express my appreciation for your enthusiastic and well thought out approach to our meetings this past weekend. Not only will the structure and content of the meetings help me on a business level but on a personal level as well. I believe your personal touches were the key to that success."
"We again thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the Spring Roundtables meetings. I always learn so much, from the input of the group, from the facilitator, and from the first day seminar.. The ideas gleaned from the other companies and their experiences are invaluable. No matter what the problem is, it seems like we have all been there. Jim was great in stretching us and making us think about why we were in business, and what plans we had for the future - big picture stuff."
"Thanks Vic. It’s always and enlightening and rewarding experience. You do a great job. Keep up the good work."
"Thanks for all your effort. Enjoyed it; came at a great time; expended more energy than I expected."
"I am looking forward to continue working with Roundtables, to the healthy growth of my company and may be some day becoming a mentor and giving something back to my fellow contractors."
"I am so proud to be associated with such a great group of people and caring organization. When people ask what memberships we are part of, I am always the most enthusiastic when describing Roundtables."
"Thanks for offering us the opportunity to get away together, to learn, and to commit to applying what we learn. Thanks for fulfilling your commitments right away – and setting the standard. I’m becoming a raving fan!"
"Thank you again for a great meeting - I still am amazed and thrilled we were able to accomplish all that we did and were able to complete our agenda. We are so pleased to be part of such a great group."
"Thanks. It’s absolutely my pleasure to be a part of something so special. I admire you and Linda, as well as our facilitators and of course, Charlie Group. We have something great here."
"I am proud, grateful, and delighted to be a member of this outstanding group. You and Linda are pure genius!"
"I learned a great deal this weekend. I can't wait to put the things I learned into practice."
"Thank you Victoria for all that RAI brings to our attention to improve our businesses and personal lives. I regret I did not get involved sooner. We look forward to the phone conferences and the Fall meetings. Thanks again!!"
"The meeting was great and I'm taking the day "off" to make notes and start working on some of my commitments. The setting for the meeting was spectacular and very comfortable. Can't wait for the October meeting!"
"Judith rocks! We are good on this but I wanted you to know that she is a great addition to your team!"
"Wow, what a powerful meeting! We have really pushed the boundaries in a very positive manner and I want you all to know how much I treasure you and that privilege and safe haven that has been created."
"Another soul searching, energizing, revealing meeting. We seem to get closer to the heart every meeting. Thanks for allowing us the flexibility to shape the meetings that will give us the maximum benefit."
"The thanks go to you and Linda! Without the input from Roundtables and the Excel Group, I'd still be "making wages" at best. Your company gave me the tools to become a successful businessman, instead of a carpenter with a dream."
"Victoria , I can't tell you how glad I am that I joined a couple of years ago. It has been the best possible move I could have made. My group, you, and Linda have made a huge impact in my business."
" To think how far this company has come since I first joined Roundtables is amazing. Thank you for all you and Linda do!"
"Belonging to Roundtables has made a huge difference for me as a person and a business. Our financial's are reflecting that with each passing month. As you know I was a wreck at my 1 st meeting a year ago. I couldn’t answer any of the core value questions and our company was really ailing. One year later, I know who I am, my core values and my boundaries. My personal and business relationships continue to grow daily. As a company we have posted a 10.5% net profit through the 1 st eight months of our fiscal year. We have never done that without Roundtables. Thank you for asking the essential, tough questions."
"You know how much I believe in the Roundtables program."
"Thanks to all of you, for a well planned, uplifting meeting. I thoroughly enjoyed everyone and everything we did. My compliments to you, for assembling such a great staff. They all do such a fantastic job. I enthusiastically, look forward, to learning and contributing, to my group, and the organization as a whole."
"We had a great time meeting some of our fellow remodelers. We also learned a lot and realized just how much more we have to learn. We are excited to be a part of the organization and feel that it is going to be of great benefit to us."
"Thank you to the group! Wow… A wonderful experience."
"The legacy you two have left on the industry should give you great motivation to take pause and know many, many remodelers measure their personal lives’ success on the opportunity of knowing and learning from you two."
"Joining Remodelers Advantage is without question the single best business decision of my career."
"Just what I needed to help follow through on the stuff I know I need to do right now! :o) "
"Thank you as well, for a well run meeting. I am very excited to be a member, and look forward to the Summit."
"Thank you for all your help Victoria. Remodelers Advantage has been a great help in my business advancement, and you specifically. I appreciate your good business input and your cheerleading and encouragement from the sidelines. You and Linda are great assets for my company."
"Remodeling would be (in fact was) much less fun & profitable without Remodelers Advantage. Keep up the good work."
"Roundtables is the most important thing that has happened in my business life. Linda case and Victoria are true leaders."
"The meeting was great. I received excellent feedback from my peers and Linda was a great asset to the meeting. One of the things the group did was be firm, yet do it with love. It was hard for me to listen to some things they had to say, but I knew they had my best interest in mind."
"Thanks so much for an awesome job of facilitating. This was the best roundtable so far (at least for myself). I feel that I came away w/ the perfect commitments that will have a huge impact on our company if I follow through."
" I really have a lot of respect for you and Linda working with all of us remodelers, [as a breed we can be interesting]. I think based on other experiences with other network groups has helped me to appreciate the roundtables format that you use. I was very impressed with the caliber of people in the room with me. . . . and how supportive they all were to new people."
"I guess what makes you special is the whole life aspect. Which I think for me has been especially challenging, this has given me the strength & courage to be able to talk open and honestly with the group…. Something I haven’t been able to due in 30 years!!!"
"I was extremely impressed with how you were so much in sync with each and every one of us, individually and as a group. The tone and energy of the meeting was even yet focused and charged with a true desire to help one another. Thanks a million."
"You and your company Roundtables and have really helped me develop my business and I wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU! I think it’s very safe to say you have had a HUGE impact on my life and business and even the folks who work for me and I just wanted to make sure you knew that."
"What a great weekend, you and your team did an awesome job!"
"I recently joined RA as an Advantage Associate. WOW! What value you deliver! I downloaded all of the audio's immediately, I know Paul and Nina and they are my mentors and heroes. I listened to Gary Sannes’ audio and the thing that struck me most of all was his tip-of the-tongue command of his company numbers. This is where I want to be and have to be."
"Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for value received. You could double your prices and it would still be a bargain as far as I am concerned. You, in two short weeks have delivered more than six years of NARI membership, although I must say, NARI and NKBA are great too."
"I must say it is a pleasure to be part of Remodelers Advantage."
"I recently recommended to one of the Board of Directors at the (an association) to look at your company as an example of how an association such as theirs should operate in order to provide a worthwhile service to its membership."
"But what Remodelers Advantage does really is great for these small business owners! You guide them into doing things that are extraordinarily beneficial for small businesses."
Rave reviews for The Business Summit
" Thank you for allowing me to attend the Roundtables Business Summit. You and your team did a fantastic job putting together a great program and pulled off the logistics flawlessly. I met some wonderful people and learned a lot."
"Just wanted to say you and your staff did a great job at the Summit !! It was obvious that you put allot of time and effort into making it special. The band, the comedians, the speakers were all excellent. We all left inspired and ready to try the things we learned back at home. Thanks for making it such a good experience!!"
"Also just want to mention again how great George and I thought the Summit meeting was! The entire meeting was so well prepared and we took back a ton of great ideas to incorporate into our business! The Disney speakers and the topics were excellent and we are having a meeting next week to share all that wonderful insight with our staff (or should I say "cast members"?! :') The comedic part of the agenda was fantastic! The humor was the icing on the cake!"
"Your efforts are greatly appreciated by those around you like me that actually take the time to stop and listen to "experience" in motion and voice."
"Just wanted to thank you for allowing us editors to hang out at the Summit . I had a great time, got lots of story ideas, and was able to put faces to the voices I hear over the phone. I’m impressed with all the work that went into it. What a job; you put out a great conference."
"Thank you for the swift professional follow up. Very impressive. "
"Thanks......the Remodelers Advantage network is great!!!!!"
"Talk about great service. Thank you for responding so quickly."
"Thanks to you and Linda and Rosie for all of your help. You have given me the tools to be successful beyond my wildest dreams. Keep up the great work."
"Your generosity of spirit and willingness to give back to our industry is inspirational and I really appreciate your taking the time and spending the money to come. We all need heroes, and along with Linda, you've become one of mine."
"But, thanks so much for all the help you and your staff provided me in my "time of need". Nobody likes to be sick and especially when you are on the road. Thanks to you and your staff members who helped me every step of the way."
"That's what I like about Remodelers Advantage, instant results!"
"You did not get paid for it but you have certainly helped many along the way who can't pay or who are just skeptical about paying for things online. May God bless you and your company as you give and continue to provide a professional service to your many clients."
" Thank you so much for making my time at the Production Manager PowerMeeting so enriching. I came home with so much more than I could have ever anticipated. You very much exceeded my expectations, which is very important in the service business that we are in. You do an excellent job facilitating the meetings and made our stay very enjoyable."
"We have found your power meetings to be extremely helpful; Clay loved the Office manager meeting...and guess what??? our new part time office manager started YESTERDAY."
"I just got home last night from the Office Manager Power Meeting in New Hampshire . It was great! There was so much to learn, but more importantly we now have a network of 20 people that we can call on for help. We need to keep doing these meetings!!"
"I would like to express my sincere thanks to you and your company for facilitating the Lead Carpenter Power Meeting. It was extremely beneficial for my development as a part of the Titus Built team. It is great to be able to interact directly with yourself, Tim Faller, and the other speakers as well as other lead carpenters and to share the direct knowledge they all have and are willing to share."
"Another awesome part of this meeting was the Hot Topics section where the Facilitator basically held class in helping everyone in the room attack some very potent issues facing all of our companies. Paul Winans brings such knowledge, experience and wisdom to the table and this combined with his obvious concern and true desire to help made for an incredible learning experience."
"The dynamic mix of production managers and company owners created an incredible team that provided insightful and right on feedback."
"I wanted to express to everyone at Remodelers Advantage my sincere appreciation for how well the Production Manager's Power Meeting that our company hosted this week was put together. What a positive experience this was for everyone!"
"REALLY enjoyed the Immersion Workshop. You guys are top notch, you model the training process so beautifully...we clients get to see how it’s done, and then on top of it you provide us great info at the same time."
"Kristen and I were blown away by the Immersion Workshop in Columbia . We can not wait to get tied in, and implement your systems into our business. The other members gave us a lot of great advice on where to start and where to be prudent. Keep us posted as to future meetings of inspiration!!"
Praise for From The Business Leaders Audio Teleseminar Series
"This was the first of these presentations that I’ve been able to attend – this was great. Very informational!"
"Once again Remodelers Advantage provided a wonderful tool for learning. As business owners we will never stop learning, seminars like yesterday’s will ensure this."
"I obtained a wealth of information form this past teleseminar and found it very valuable."
"What an enjoyable, affirming & thought-provoking seminar. Thank you & Linda so much! I took some great notes for sifting, mining and implementing."
"During each TeleSeminar I find myself typing an amazing amount of notes recording the speakers' experience relative to my own experience, paths they went down towards successful change, and the steps I will take towards continuous improvement."
"The seminar yesterday was one the best ones you have done so far. Ernie was very informative and SPECIFIC about what he does, why he does it and how it works. A lot of great ideas and very useful information. Thanks for putting this on and keep up the great work."
"I am very appreciative. I liked Mr. Lutes and thought it was gracious of him to share his knowledge. I like the interaction between him and Victoria. What comes first to mind is I learned to focus on my local area and what is happening and how that affects our business. THANK YOU!"
"Excellent presentation and fun to listen to. The fastest one hour on a Monday morning that I can remember. It is always greatly educational to get first hand knowledge from someone who has been in the trenches and made it work for them. I really appreciate the efforts of Remodelers Advantage in putting this together for us."
" Yesterday's teleseminar was excellent! Of the large handful of teleseminars I have attended, Allen Lutes' "Market Intelligence" was the most well prepared, well executed, and personally valuable to me in my difficult market. I walked away with new information, tools to better manage my business, a healthy dose of encouragement, and a step by step action plan for change. I had so much fun sharing the information with our management team at lunch. Well done!"
"Just a quick note to say thanks for the teleseminar, I learned a lot."
"As always Remodelers Advantage has presented valuable information in a professional format."
"Thanks to continuing to facilitate these valuable seminars."
"The phone session on marketing with Patty McDaniel was extremely interesting and valuable. The things she described that work, her creative thinking and unorthodox out of the box approach to marketing are priceless. I’m going to use some of the items she talked about and your discussion with her opened my eyes to some of the deficiencies in my own plan. Your moderation and question selection were excellent as well."
"The seminar was great and Matt is an excellent speaker. We have many of the mentioned metrics in place already but there were a few golden nuggets for us."
"I thought this month’s Tele Seminar went exceptionally well. The subject was focused and there was a succinct flow of information. Judith and Victoria worked well together to capture the audience maintaining an aura of interest. I’m sure everyone was measuring their company to see where they were on the “5 steps of business development.”
"First, let me compliment you on the teleconference this week. It was the first of Remodelers Advantage teleconferences I sat in on. Very well organized, loved that you took questions in real-time (one of my questions was actually asked and answered). I plan on sitting in on your calls on a steady basis."
Accolades for our Sponsorship Program
"Our participation in Remodelers Advantage Roundtable events has assisted GE Money in gaining valuable insight into the Full Line Remodeling business. As a result, we've also had recent success in enrolling several full line remodelers as GE Money contractors that have had projects approved and funded for their customers.”
Don Reddaway
GE Money
"I am confident that our participation . . . will lead to our doing work with more RAI members."
"You really have developed an impressive concept for business owners to bounce ideas off one another and basically get support from their peers. The entire process of the meeting seemed to be beneficial to everyone involved. I learned a great deal and really enjoyed getting to know the owners on a more personal level."
"This was great stuff - a lot of solid management principles that those of us who work at large corporations receive through training, etc. Remodelers don't have those resources, so this is a great way for them to get educated."
Great words for our Educational Seminars
" I felt the time spent in your seminar was time very well spent and would recommend it to future participants of the trade show."
"Thank you for your attendance and presentation. It was energetic as always and well received, People were forced to work with peers and learn from them. That spirit of mixing carried over to dinner and was the catalyst that made the show for many."
"You are a very energetic speaker. You really got our dealers motivated. I heard a lot of feed back from the dealers that they really enjoyed it and that they actually picked up a lot of tips from their fellow dealers. Thank you!!!"
"Thank you for an outstanding job you did with your marketing seminar. You deserve it. We can't thank you enough."
