Most of our clients…

Are famous for building beautiful pools; They’re NOT famous for being great screen actors. But despite this handicap, we’ve managed to capture some of our clients’ thoughts, comments and testimonials on film. Click an icon below to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth.

Richard Moseley Co-Owner Champange Pools

“Working with Brett is great. He’s able to capture ideas I have, and turn those into marketing tools and things that make a difference. Brett’s brought in the talent to help me market and regenerate some of the ambition that I have. It’s given me more fire in my company. It’s great to have a partner, and Brett is that for me when it comes to building my business.”

John Versfelt
Owner, Southernwind Pools

“Working with Brett has been very simple. He’s got everything really well streamlined and prompt. When we do our weekly meetings, it’s all business, “get it done” and “here’s your marching orders for next week.” It’s nice to operate at the level of efficiency that he has. He kind of pushes you a little bit, so it works well.”

Patrick Murphy
Director of Sales, Pools By Murphy & Sons

“In my years of building pools and winning awards, I’ve gotten pretty good at marketing. Most of the ads I see from other pool builders are all the same. I knew I needed to differentiate myself from my competition. Doing that all these years is what has led to my success. So when I was first exposed to Brett Abbott, and his Monopolize Your Marketplace system, I was surprised to see that he was teaching and doing exactly what I’ve been saying all these years.

I’ve talked a lot of marketing people and sales reps over the years, and none of them comes close to understanding marketing for pool builders like this guy does. If you’re having trouble with marketing your pool business, you definitely need to talk to MYM Austin.”

“Never in the last 9 years have we come anywhere close to getting that many leads at this home show.

This was incredible. We’re very happy!”

Wes Haigh
Owner, Guaranteed Pool & Spa

As marketing consultants…

We do a lot of specific things for our clients, beyond just “generating leads” and “helping to close more sales.”

So here are some comments from lots of clients and organizations regarding “other marketing activities” such as training, public relations, copywriting, strategy development and more.

Your trade show presentation was awesome! Thank you for offering your time and expertise, it is greatly appreciated!! Would you be so kind as to forward me the presentation so I can send it to our exhibitors?

Brett – THANKS FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS IN PROMOTING JUMPSTART!!!!!

Thanks for all the help on such short timing. We sold four tubs, which is four more than we sold last year. Additionally, I’ve spent my entire morning entering David’s pool leads that he got from the home show. This was our best ever!

Brett - Thank you for your insight. Your “first person approach” is phenomenal and what a wonderful skill you have for writing. That comes so natural for you.

Thanks again,

I just wanted you to know that, of all the way-too-long-ass e-zines I get, yours is the only one I read. Really. The ONLY ONE. I am a “high I” on the DISC scale, so I don’t like details and I generally skim long articles if I HAVE to read them. But yours almost always has valuable information that I want to absorb. Sure, I have heard some of it before, in marketing classes and such, but I really get a lot out of it.

I hope you are planning a book. This stuff is PRICELESS! BTW, what do you do when you’re not sending out amazing newsletters?

“Brett Abbott first introduced me to the MYM Marketing Program in 2005. Since then I have referred several people to him as I believe that today, MYM has the strongest marketing consulting program that money can buy. Period. If you are spending money on marketing and you are not using the MYM Marketing System, you are wasting your money.”

Jefre Outlaw
Entrepreneur & Networking Specialist

Thanks again Brett - It was great to see MYM successfully work in the not-for-profit field. Great work and great collaborative effort. Congratulations to you and everyone who was involved. I hope to do it here in NY.

Brett - The 10-CD set has been extremely helpful and a solid first step. I personally feel Y2marketing is one of the best kept secrets in the business world. Something I know you’re working diligently on changing.

Have a great day and thanks for the follow up.

The report from Ray (Settles) just came in… Brett gets an A+ for his steady leadership and powerful presentation. We are all better today than we were yesterday.

David Steinberg
Marketing Consultant, New York

I want you to know how much I enjoy and appreciate working with you. Your decisiveness, clarity, and attention to detail make things so easy. It’s rare to get a project with prepared copy and specs, much less to have those things done as well as you do them. It’s a real pleasure. Thank you. J

You never cease to amaze�you handled a difficult issue with extreme professionalism. You folks are truly as good as they come and it is a pleasure to know/work with you.

Sincerely, Dan & Rich

Wow! This was the best Memorial Day performance I have participated in (my fourth). We made it on KXAN TV and in the Austin Statesmen. The marketing efforts paid off, and Brett did a masterful job as emcee.

Frank Mignoli
President, Austin Chord Rangers.

Brett - You’re a master. I’m off to the TV studio for my Friday taping but will respond in detail later. In the mean time, thanks for your keen input.

Dana Cooper

Wow! What a great article Brett. I really enjoyed this.

Thanks!

I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful article you did on Chelsey that appeared in the Lake Travis View. It really was well done and we appreciate you highlighting Chelsey in that way.
Thanks again.

Brett won a PROBE award a couple of months ago for the best Holiday show flyer. The flyer is awesome and is really due a good spread. It had super color and a very clean layout.

GENIUS ABOUT THE MONITOR!!! PURE GENIUS….as computer savvy as I am…i’m ashamed i didn’t think of it first….hmmmm, i’ll just have to outsmart you on another day.

You’re smooth…have you thought about selling refrigerators to Eskimos?

Here is the form Brett supplied us with for class today. I hope you were impressed with the information he shared with us. I learned a great deal. He delivers with passion and confidence in his messsage. What a pleasure! For your homework, please use the form and we will all do another round robin to try and sharpen our messages even further.

Thanks Brett, your PR worked really paid off. K-EYE 42 gave us a good 3 minutes air time around the theme of our winning Division victory again after 37 years. Elizabeth did a great job of weaving Russ and my interviews around the Singing. Austintatious singing to Elizabeth got the lead-in and a good 5-10 sec airing.

And once again your screen displays and presentation made a great impression on the quality of our organization.

Frank Mignoli
President, Austin Chord Rangers.

Brett – Very nice flyer indeed. In one word, “CLASSY!”

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks very much, Brett. That is some awesome certificate! I’ll use it for inspiration. We have used silent auctions, but our display did not have the kind of impact that your certificate does. You have really showed us what can and should be done.
