American Leak Detection franchisees from around the state of Florida joined in the internet marketing seminar held in Orlando at the Residence Inn.
The group learned about inbound marketing, search engine optimization, blogging, and social networking practices. The group also gained practical experience in editing their own websites through a content managment system.
A local homeowner chose to have American Leak Detection use their new ePipe method of epoxy coating single plumbing lines to repair a leak in a copper hot water line that was located under a shower. The alternative would have been to expose the leak through the shower pan by breaking open a hole in the floor of the shower. In addition to the cost incurred to repair the leak, the shower pan would have had to be replaced and the shower retiled. By using the ePipe method, the leak was repaired in place with only two small holes made in the drywall to access the leaking pipe to effect the ePipe process. Not only was the leak repaired, but the entire line was coated with epoxy which will prevent any future leaks.

P.S. Please bring a business associate who may be interested in finding out how to generate more business through word of mouth. This organization is exciting. In fact, I just heard that Tony Robbins says, “One referral is equal to 15 cold calls”.
