The First Step to Success in the Mold Industry: Invest in Yourself

We started NORMI^™ because we are passionate about keeping the mold industry up-to-date and effective. Mold assessors and remediators need to be aware of the latest technology and standards of practice to be able to provide the top level of service, and keep the homeowner protected. Not only that, but being well-trained and certified is the first step to being extremely marketable. The educated consumer knows that the lowest bid on a project usually means low quality work. They want to know that they will be receiving the help they need when they pay for a mold assessor or remediator. That’s why continually investing in training and development is the first step to a successful mold business. Here are our top reasons to invest in yourself first:

Intelligence is Earned

Look at the most successful person in any field. They didn’t just land their because of luck, they earned it. They have the most knowledge and the most skill needed to succeed in that area. Information is your most valuable resource in the mold and IAQ industry.

Relationships are Invaluable

Every on-site class is an opportunity to meet and form relationships with experts (your instructors) and colleagues (the other students). You are able to discuss what does and doesn’t work, co-promote, and learn from each other. Take advantage of every networking possibility that you can.

Reputation is Everything

How you are viewed is everything in the world of business. If you don’t have the credentials  to back up your claims then you are doing both yourself and your clients a disservice. No one can fake it forever, and why would you want to? Keep your reputation in tact by staying up with the latest information and using it to provide the best possible service. Here at NORMI, we recommend taking at least one training class per year. It keeps you fresh, up-to-date, and in touch with the industry.
