My Story

My name is Kevin Dykes and I have 16 years of marketing and business development experience with small business. I’ve spent the past 8 years in the residential services and contractor world, growing both my own and other people’s companies. I ran a very successful Landscaping and Irrigation company for a number of years before merging with a residential mist cooling and insect misting company in Texas. We eventually combined operations with the one of the most successful mist cooling manufacturing companies in the U.S.

The point I’m trying to make through this little history lesson is that I’ve been where you are and understand the challenge you face in trying to grow your business to the next level.

It is very easy to give in to the “marketing idea of the week” - and never really understand the strategy necessary for sustained, profitable growth.

My role with our manufacturing company has been to work with our clients - hundreds of small service companies and contractors - helping them to successfully market and grow thier businesses. So, I know from experience that for most service companies - such as Pest Control, Lawn & Landscape, Misting System Installers, Handyman & Residential contractors - Referrals are the key source of new leads and customers . And, the return on time and dollars invested can be higher than any other advertising or marketing programs.

But, you need a Systematic approach to Referral Marketing - a way to create a steady, predictable stream of highly targeted prospects and customers.

As your Word-of-Mouth Manager, I can help you do just this. I have partnered with the most effective small business marketing system in existence - Duct Tape Marketing - to bring you a program that may be all you ever need to grow a very successful company.
