Episode 30 - Sorry, more paperwork is required

I had a couple of requests to talk about the importance of policy and procedure manuals. It’s a serious topic and everyone that’s in business needs them. This week, we take a look at the main reasons for written policy and some of the pitfalls that exist when you don’t have them. It’s a short episode, but something we can expand upon in the future.

Episode 29 - Time to read the mail! Your questions answered.

I received some great feedback last week regarding staying cool on keeping your wits during surveillance, staying cool, protecting evidence and the importance of having written policies and procedures in place. Thanks to Bob Geis, Bryan Guffey and Mark Merithew for their input. Ben, way down in Australia, also left some comments on the site and it’s much appreciated. In this episode, I highlight some of the great comments I received and answer a question about pricing. Check it out and tell a friend!

Episode 28 - Clients and Evidence and Surveillance OH MY!

Wow, I thought this was going to be a quickie of an episode, but I babbled longer than expected. There’s a couple of short war stories about choosing clients and preserving evidence, then I throw out a question about surviving surveillance.

So everyone, drop me a line at scott[at]sunsetwestpi.com or leave a voice message at (206) 350-7400 and let me know what you do to survive the long hot days of surveillance . Thanks for listening!

Episode 27 - War stories, by request

I’ve been asked to tell some war stories. Apparently some people think I’ve got a few. Well, I’m going to start divulging some top secret information and hopefully weave some training and information into them at the same time. This time it’s all about knowing your plan, working your plan and not bumbling your plan. Enjoy.

Episode 26 - On the road AGAIN!

This episode finds Scott travelling across the state of California on a wild goose chase.  Some simple research before hitting the road would have saved the client a nice chunk of change.  This is another show about doing the job right the first time, so you don’t have to do it again.  Deep searches, cross checking your info and explaining to clients how doing it right can actually save them money are all discussed.

There’s also a teaser for a new feature so stay till the end.  Thanks for listening.
