This is Dawn. I hope you are all doing well.
We answer a ton of questions and email each day, and it seems like every few months I "reach my fill" of redundant and nonsensical questions which leads me to having to go on a rant to get it out of my system.
Well, I'm there now!
To answer so many of you who think brokers are your friends, that they don't break their promises routinely, or if you are undecided, you keep waiting, making excuses, let me be clear in this message.
If your goal is to build a sustainable NEMT company that can grow into a valuable business asset, and potentially be sell one day at a meaningful multiple, then the decisions you make at the start matters.
Joel is going to help you think and position well beyond getting vehicles on the road, how to build a durable operation, develop stronger revenue relationships, manage risk, and create a company with value beyond your day-to-day operation.
If you’re looking at NEMT as a side hustle or simply want access to trips, you don’t need Joel's help or ours. I am just being honest. Either sign up with a broker so you can use the label "NEMT provider," or just driver for Uber and Lyft to side hustle. I am serious.
If you want to control your business and financial future, expert guidance is one of the most important investments you can make in building that company. Please listen to the following short message from a client-provider who has been with Joel for years and is now prepared to close on the sale of his business in mid-November:
Hi Joel and Peter,
Peter, Joel is in my opinion the leading expert on all things NEMT transportation. He's helped me immensely grow my business, and he and his team are a phenomenal resource. If you get into this business, use Joel. Plain and simple. I recommend you spend time BEFORE speaking with Joel reviewing many of his youtube videos at https://www.youtube.com/@UMTPG.
Joel, Peter was introduced to me through a friend and is looking to break into the NEMT transportation industry.
Good luck y'all.
Although short and to the point, this introduction speaks volumes.
However, if you prefer someone else to control your business, serve as you HR director, and manage all your revenue and trip volume, then again, there is no need for Joel or any type of strategic planning, just sign up with whatever broker(s) operates in your area.
If you’re serious about creating an NEMT business that can become a lasting asset, then stop wasting your own time with delays, excuses, and "what if" statements regarding brokers. They are not your friends!
Reach out to connect directly with Joel. In being with Joel for 16 years, soon to be 17 years, I can tell you personally that those of you who stay close to him and keep him on your team will win well beyond NEMT. We see it every single day!
