“Best money I’ve ever spent! I wish I would have met Rob 25 yrs ago. Having the software that Rob has created for us will greatly benefit our business. I’m excited to be able to show the producer how much money we can save them over say a 25 yr period life span. My next project sale will surely pay for the course.”
