Richard C. Harshaw, author and creator of the Monopolize Your Marketplace system, and CEO the company with the same name, is one of the nation's leading marketing minds and business leaders. He started his company in 1994, and over the next few years, he became one of the nation's most sought-after business consultants because of his ability to write things in a way that motivated people to buy. Early in his career he wrote advertising and marketing materials for all sizes and types of businesses...including the country's largest roofing company, Texas' largest SBA lending bank, the nation's largest provider of digital cellular service, and over 1,500 other companies. As client results began to pile up, so did Rich's demand in the marketplace.
Over the next five years Rich built one of the most successful networks of professional marketing consultants. Over 600 people have been licensed and trained as MYM consulatants. The rapid growth of his company has landed it a spot on Inc. Magazine’s prestigious list of the 500 fastest growing companies for 3 consecutive years.
More recently, Rich has specialized in marketing for the home improvement industry. He has become the foremost authority in the industry on the topic of marketing, and as result has become a highly sought after speaker at industry events, and writes a regular column for Replacement Contractor magazine. His company also has dozens of clients in various home improvement industries, including sunrooms, windows, siding, doors, gutter protection, basement finishing, swimming pools, decks & awnings, and design-build.
