I just wanted to take the time to send this email to thank you once again for your class. I enjoyed it very much. It was very informative, insightful, and even motivational. The format was very comfortable and easy to follow. I appreciate your way of presenting so much useful information and doing so in a very relatable and practical way. Thank you for making it easy to ask questions and encourage participation. It was good to hear, not only your experiences, but also those of the other students.

Thank you as well for sharing your years of experiences and stories. Will be most likely doing some more with you in the future and already ordered all the books you recommended.

Highly recommend Ivan’s training! Immense value for the cost with unique ideas that dig much deeper than regurgitated common sense that a lot of these courses are. Would recommend this for any owner, business development manager, or sales leads in any restoration business big or small.
- Gianni Cortes, CEO PuroClean® Port Richie, FL
I just wanted to thank your for the class a couple of weeks ago-Breaking the Code. It was very enjoyable and informative. We have begun to include much of the information into our marketing program as we prepare to hire a full time marketing person. It’s just not real easy to find just the right person. But we will succeed."
- N.H.
Just a quick email to thank you for the past two day class on Marketing and on boarding. The information you provided was very helpful and to the point. I definitely learned a great deal and would recommend the class to anyone in the restoration business. Thank you again!
- J.C.
Having been an instructor for many years, I enjoy listening to other presenters. Two things I look for:1) the instructor has done what they are talking about and 2 )they present with enthusiasm. Ivan Turner scores on both counts.
- Bill Yeadon
I had the pleasure of taking Ivan’s class Breaking the Code. I’ve been a sales professional for over 20 years, and in the damage restoration industry for the past 15. I found the information to be relevant and practical. Ivan presents well, and interacts with the class throughout the day. I recommend this class to both new and seasoned professionals.
- J.D.
Thank you for taking the time in teaching the Art of Marketing to Adjustors and Top Producers, it was very informative and educational especially being new to the industry. It was also beneficial learning from other business owners' perspectives and personal experience. There were many takeaways from this training to name a few: building strong relationships with the 20% producers can send high-value referrals, asking the right questions to identify who are the 20% key producers within the agency and connecting on a personal level versus just a transactional level. We also learned that we need to be the purple cow in this industry to differentiate ourselves from other restoration businesses is the key. I highly recommend this class to those who are new to the industry.
- Edgar Molina
This one-day class on how to scale a restoration business in record time was very informative and will definitely impact our company of 45 years immediately. We left the class with an action plan which is exactly what we needed. Ivan has a wealth of restoration knowledge and experience and can be of value to any size restoration operation.
- Jon Towne
There is a lot of valuable information in Ivan's Agent and Adjuster marketing class. I have high confidence we can use his strategies to really break us in to the agent market and the sky is the limit for our reps!

Ivan's training and the "Show Me Marketing Solutions" is jam packed with really good info. If you apply the techniques he teaches there’s no reason why you wouldn't make it work for your business.

I recently attended Ivan Turner's class on restoration industry scaling and growth for small businesses, and I must say it was an enlightening experience. Ivan's expertise and passion for the subject matter were evident from the moment the class began. His delivery was not only articulate but also incredibly well-organized, making it easy to follow along and absorb the wealth of information he shared.
As a restoration industry owner, I found Ivan's tips and advice to be invaluable. From strategic planning to effective sales techniques, he covered all aspects essential for sustainable growth in this competitive field. What impressed me the most was his ability to tailor the content to suit the needs of both business owners and salespersons alike. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your business to the next level, Ivan's insights are indispensable.
I highly recommend Ivan Turner's class to anyone in the restoration industry. The knowledge and strategies gained from his teachings are sure to have a significant impact on your business success. Thank you, Ivan, for a truly enlightening experience!

Thank you again for the training class you had on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Although I would much prefer an in person one, you did great with the Zoom class and I learned a lot. It definitely gave me several things to think about with my business, I also just ordered "The Purple Cow" book on Amazon to read.
- J.C. Chicagoland, IL
I really appreciate your time and knowledge! I found it so helpful and loved how open the conversation was. It was nice to be able to pick your brain when a question came up. Thank you for all the information! I am looking forward to the next class.

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend Ivan Turner’s course on “The Art of Marketing to Agents & Adjusters”. As a new startup in the BioHazard Remediation industry I cannot say how invaluable this course was. Ivan was not only personable and obviously a person of integrity, he made sure that the class was interactive, took the time to answer my, and other attendees, questions and even stayed online for a few minutes after the class finished to chat. I really felt like I had an opportunity to not only get to know Ivan but also the others in the class.
In addition to how the class was run, it was abundantly clear that Ivan has a wealth of knowledge and experience. I found myself taking abundant notes over the course of the eight hour class. With this much valuable information it is natural for there to be an overload of information. This again is where Ivan shined as an instructor as he provided handouts and resources that attendees could refer back to and review to help with the retention of information.
Without hesitation I would recommend others to this course. Though I have yet to avail myself of other courses of services that he offers, after this exceptional experience I will be. I feel better prepared to develop my marketing plan and to grow my business with focus and greater effect. Additionally, as my business grows I will be sending my marketing and sales staff to this course and I am looking at other ways I can use his firm, Show me Marketing Services, to help me to improve and grow my business.

I attended Ivan Turner’s Employee Onboarding for Restoration Businesses via Zoom recently. The rest of the group did not attend due to an emergency workload, so it was just Ivan and me. I thought “this could go one of two ways…either I fight to stay awake, or I’m locked in with an interesting person for the next 8 hours.”
I can say with conviction that Ivan was engaging, friendly, an expert in his field and it was a pleasure to be a student in his class. The course material/manual alone paid for the class 10-fold with an icing on the cake of a humble restoration expert who knows the trials and tribulations of the Disaster Restoration Industry.
I’m not a newcomer to the industry nor is the company I work for but we’re constantly trying to improve, this training was tailored to all stages of a Restoration Business (from start-ups to giant franchises). I think Ivan’s military background and/or general intuition plays a part in his systematic approach.
Takeaways were plentiful with suggested reading, customer and more importantly employee-centric thinking, the need for a full company buy-in and quite possibly a restart at least in some aspects/division of our company. I’m a 25-year veteran of the business and felt rejuvenated/energized leaving the meeting that day.
I highly recommend this course material to all students of the industry… hopefully you get Ivan alone like I did but I’m sure it’s just as engaging with a group.
