“Family” – A Popular Word at HMI HMI REP Apr 30, 2015 0000 By: Paul DelFino “Welcome to the Family” are the words I have used for many years to wrap up every HMI “Discovery and Training Seminar”! The word family is continuously populated in the HMI website since it is in reality a family business that markets to families as well as major corporate entities and government. Last week, as I was queued up waiting to deliver the seminar wrap up, following Jeff’ presentation in Las Vegas, I starting thinking about the word – family - in a business context. What expectations and perceptions were created as we say “welcome to the family” or position ourselves as a family business? FAMILY BUSINESS – GOOD or BAD IMAGE? Generally family, in a business context, evokes multiple images/percepti Read More
Highway Polyurethane Stabilization HMI REP Jul 18, 2013 0000 On highway I-43 in Manitowoc county,WI, the weight of moving traffic and the unstable soil caused the slab of concrete underneath the asphalt to rock back and forth as heavy vehicles traveled over it. The signs of an unstable slab of concrete are cracks forming and pot holes in the concrete. RaiseRite (www.raise-rite.com) drilled a series of injection holes through and around the troubled area. A dense lightweight polyurethane material was then injected in the holes to stabilize the concrete beneath the asphalt. The polyurethane injected has a cure time of 15 minutes to make sure the job is done fast and correctly. The polyurethane material used will not erode and assure the slab will not move. After the injections were complete the Read More
How To Hire a New Estimator HMI REP May 22, 2013 0000 How To Hire a New Estimator Ernie Cvetezar Typical story that always seems to happen – “your concrete raising business grows fast and as an owner operator you cannot keep up doing estimates and doing the work!” I have “been there done that” many times in my career. So it is decision time – do I hire a worker to do the work or do I hire an estimator? My experience is that most new owner operators choose to recruit an estimator. Why: It is easier to hire and train an estimator. HMI has created systems and the Appstimator Estimating App to allow you to train someone in as little as three days to estimate concrete repair. Estimators can also double as temporary workers for peak periods and can be paid in multiple ways; salary, h Read More

THE NEW MARKETING COMPLEXITY Jen Mazur Apr 28, 2011 0000 “How you get the work has changed as much as how you do the work!” As I was sitting back and observing the recent April HMI Training Seminar, two thoughts came to mind: 1. How you get the work has changed as much as how you do the work! 2. When you consider; marketing, estimating, and sales HMI devotes as much time in our seminar on getting the work as we do training future equipment owners on how to do the work! More than 3 decades ago I started my mudjacking business by putting a 2’x4’ ad in the local newspaper. That one ad generated 14 requests for estimates and my first 10 jobs. RaiseRite/HMI was born and I had a new career. For the next 10 years, newspaper advertising was the anchor to my marketing program. Read More
