One of the most effective ways any business owner can learn, and improve, is from other successful businesses in their industry, and the building and remodeling industry is no different. In order to discover and share the best tips and strategies used by builders and remodelers today, industry coach and consultant Brett Martinson, chief editor of Successful Home Builders' Newsletter, is conducting a special survey.

In exchange for their participation, builders and remodelers have two chances to win an iPod Shuffle packed with advice from 10 industry experts on how to deal with 'price-shoppers' and 'tire-kickers.' Also, everyone who participates will be able to download the experts' advice for free in mp3 format.

"It's amazing when you start asking builders and remodelers how to deal with a certain challenge in their business," Martinson says. "Not only do you get some really innovative, "why-didn't-I-think-of-that" ideas, you get a great variety of strategies and tips. I want to find out what's really working well in the industry right now, and report those findings."

Builders and remodelers may cast their votes at
http://www.SuccessfulHomeBuilders.com/ipodcontest starting on Wednesday, May 10, and ending on Friday, May 26, 2006. At the end of the contest, an iPod Shuffle packed with the 10 experts' advice will be awarded in each of two categories. Winners will be notified by Monday, May 29.

Two weeks following the end of the contest, all the interviews will be available for download for free in mp3 format to all who entered the contest. The 10 experts who are contributing their advice include: Tom Capizzi, Victoria Downing, Dan Kolbert, Sonny Lykos, Judith Miller, Greg Schnarr, Aaron Skoczen, Paul Winans, Scott Wooton, and Brett Martinson. Survey Results will be compiled and published in a June issue of Successful Home Builders' Newsletter.
