Today we’d like to introduce you to Kevin Hopkins
Hi Kevin, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I started this back in 2005 via computer training. The owner of the school took a liking to me, because of my past she told me nobody would hire me. So, explain to me that I should open my own business. She gave me 100 flyers for her computer training school and put a $400 dollars in my hand. Explain that I would receive extra $50 for every person that signed up for the school. I rode the public transportation for a few months handing out her ads.
Then she started step by step in how to market my service. It wasn’t long before the business gain recognition and remarks. Jobs were getting bigger and bigger,that soon had to look for assistance with the load of jobs. I started looking within my family and friends that needed to earn extra income. It wasn’t long after that there was companies contacting me via social media. The ideal of using those platforms to show what we were doing in the community. By the 2015 I was distributing over 10,000 every two weeks. Taking the advice from one of my business mentors I soon gain endorsement from County Officials and was on the map as #3 of the top five companies in Texas.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Well, one the most difficult challenge for OTF_Houston was keeping employees from falling out during the summer months. The work wasn’t hard but the elements of the weather was. The instructions to keep moving forward and notice the path I had planned for the during the distribution process. Some neighborhoods would have mazes through our, but learning to place app(GPS TRACKING) on their cell phone was the most difficult part of the distribution process. Passing on link to clients to view are locations that was agreed upon.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
We provide a very professional and effective service for any one who has business, product or services that need promoted. 500 free with every 5000. These were the promotions that this company offered. Some of the social media coverage and pictures texting really gave OTF the boost it need to separate the this company from others. Returning clients seen the bounce back from our effective efforts. Not to mention that we were indoors by Adrian Garcia when he was a sheriff for Harris County.
Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
Finding ways to distribute clients flyers or door knockers. With our services we are sure that there will be a positive bounce back from our efforts. Mostly my main risk was just stepping out on faith. With the experience I had from previous companies in the Houston area. Traveling through our the state and trusting the fact that our work would speak for itself.
