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.

William Cates “Gator” Green

President & Owner, Fountain Pools

“MYM has given us enthusiasm in marketing, which is something we’ve always been weak at. We’re great at building pools; MYM is now teaching us how to better market ourselves, and get the consumer to understand what it is we do. They’re a wonderful company; I would recommend them to anybody.”

Richard Moseley
Co-Owner, Champagne 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 of 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.”

Lew Akins
Founder, Ocean Quest Pools by Lew Akins

“Never in the last nine 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 different things for our clients, beyond just “generating leads” and “helping to close more sales.”

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

“Of the last three appointments that I have gone to, they all for various reasons had been to our new website (referrals, Yellow Pages, etc.) and they have all commented on how great the website is. This has not happened in the past. Thank you, John and Jordan for the inspiration to move in this direction and thank you, Brett and company for making such an industry-leading website. I and all the sales staff appreciate the tools you are providing for our success.”

“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?”

Laura Mitchell
Lake Travis Chamber of Commerce

“Brett, thanks for all of your efforts in promoting Jumpstart! You are truly an inspiration to me with your enthusiasm, integrity and dedication. You were primarily responsible for making Jumpstart the success it was. I too look forward to once again working with you. With a SMILE!”

“Thanks for all of 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 show ever!”

Aaron Reynolds
Hot Tub Sales, Ocean Quest Pools by Lew Akins

“Brett, thank you for your insight. Your ‘first-person approach’ is phenomenal and what a wonderful skill you have for writing. That comes so naturally for you. Thanks again!”

Judi Cherry
JCV Video Productions, Inc.

“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! By the way, what do you do when you’re not sending out amazing newsletters?”

Susan Morrow
Copywriter, Words Are We

“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.”

Barry Adelman

“Brett, you did a FANTASTIC job today! I think everyone came away with more than they expected to get. The delivery exceeded the promise… with a SMILE!”

“Brett, the ten-CD set has been extremely helpful and a solid first step. I personally feel that Monopolize Your Marketplace is one of the best-kept secrets in the business world… something I know you’re working diligently on changing.”

“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.”

Kirsten Nothstine
Creative Director, Tiny Empire Design

That’s a great ad!”

Rusty Schramm
Hot Tubs Manager, Ocean Quest Pools by Lew Akins

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

Frank Mignoli

“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 message. What a pleasure!“

Midge Norris

“Thanks Brett–your PR work really paid off. K-EYE 42 gave us a good three minutes of airtime 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 five to ten-second 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.”

George Williamson
Publicity Director, Orlando Chapter
Barbershop Harmony Society

“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.”

Mike Popelka
Publicity Director, Milwaukee Chapter
