"After 26 years in an industry that has grown by leaps and bounds, I decided I needed to be part of a progressive and industry leading group. The franchise companies seemed like you signed up and followed the leader. I decided I wanted to "BE" one of the leaders. When I looked into DKI, I found many of the industry leaders were members. When I attended the meeting for prospective members, I found people who I already looked up to were ready to give me advice and help. I have gotten much more from DKI than I had originally looked for. I found I was very proud to be part of this elite group and I rekindled a desire to grow, succeed and be one of the best myself…
In July 2003, with some marketing help from a fellow member and tools developed at the DKI Marketing Summit, we secured a $1MM school fire cleanup. After securing the job, I contacted the DKI corporate office for large loss assistance. Two days later, Gary Alexander of Alexander Wall Corporation (Ronkonkoma, NY) flew into Syracuse and spent the whole day looking over our plan and making recommendations. We had to have the school open on time and we finished three days ahead of schedule. I never would have dreamed of doing a job like that without DKI. You have the same chance. You will be just like the people you align yourself with. You can be a follower or a leader! "

"Four years ago my company was at a crossroads being a small independent restoration company. We found ourselves competing more frequently against other franchise restoration companies. We continued to find our franchise competitors receiving the initial calls only to be called in afterwards to fix or clean up any problems that arose as a result of their lack of ability. It became very evident to us that what we lacked in our business was sufficient name recognition and access to a top-notch pool of resources for information.
Joining DKI has allowed us to remain independent and offer very respected industry name branding that we would not have had otherwise. DKI has also provided us with an impressive pool of resources with regards to marketing, industry information and valuable networking with fellow DKI members. We have been able to streamline our business utilizing business practices that have been implemented and proven successful by DKI colleagues. We have also personally reaped the benefits of calling on other DKI members to assist us with manpower and equipment on multiple large losses. DKI is worth the investment to me if for no other reason than the thousands of dollars we have saved through the co-op buying program.
By joining DKI we have been able to thrust our company forward visibly and profitably in our ever changing and challenging industry. We thank DKI for being a successful part of our business. "
