Recession-Proof Businesses - Atlanta Private Investigator Reports Business Increase

Despite the economic downturn, intrepid private investigators. Eagle Investigative Services are seeing an increase in business due to the downturn in the economy. Their mantra, "When times are good business is good; when times are bad, business is great".

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) May 5, 2009 -- When asked about how business is going, Eagle Investigative Services, based in Atlanta, GA will tell you - "We've heard a lot of buzz lately from other private investigators about how business has literally "dried-up" for them. Not so for us" Atlanta private investigation firm, Eagle Investigative Services doesn't have this problem and they say it's because they have always tackled their business in a unique way.

Eagle Investigative Services president, Niall Cronnolly, relates the following - "When we started Eagle in 2000, we had no customers. Not a single one. What we did have, however, was the drive and endeavor to build a company that would far exceed the quality of service of existing companies."

Eagle got its first client by employing a very simple concept - walking up and saying hello. They would sit in local courtrooms and watch the proceedings as they took place. They figured, if they weren't working (remember they had no clients) they might as well be educating themselves.

So, they went to courthouses and sat in on the hearings and trials. There, they'd hear cases where an attorney would ask the judge for a continuance because the sheriff had been unable to effect service on a subject. Then, one of then would approach the attorney as he (or she) left the courtroom and reach out their hand and say "hello".

Then Eagle made the attorney an offer they couldn't refuse. They sweetened the deal by offering not to charge a penny unless they were able to locate and successfully serve the subject. It's a no-lose situation for the attorney and they still offer this deal to this day.Eagle says walking up to an attorney in a courthouse and saying hello was how they got their very first client, and that attorney is still a client of Eagle Investigative Services to this day, and a very happy one at that.

The court system is literally flooded with cases. There is no shortage of opportunities there for the confident private investigator.

Other advantages this Atlanta private investigator shares about sitting in on court cases:

 
  • you get to know who the busy attorneys are.
  • you get to know which attorneys seem like they know their stuff
  • you get to be seen more often.
  • you also get to the judge's demeanor, something which comes in very useful when testifying

Often, private investigators adopt an attitude of, "I won't do family law work" or "I'm just not into surveillance". This kind of thinking will kill a business, and certainly won't garner the kind of client list Eagle has.

So, how does that make private investigation recession-proof?

First, Eagle can tackle any case of any kind at any time and in any location. Worldwide.

That's a bold statement, but it's true. Eagle can deploy an investigator to any location in the fastest humanly-possible space of time. No ifs or buts about it.

Secondly, they answer their phones. When you call you get a live investigator trained and licensed in this profession. In the rare case where you get voicemail, your call is returned within minutes.

Third, http;//www.eaglepiservices.com[Atlanta Private Investigator Eagle Investigative Services became a source of business for thier clients. Eagle knows exactly which attorney to refer a case to when they get such a call. Rest assured, their clients don't forget these favors.

Fourth, in a down economy, the types of cases that come in the door differ greatly from when economic times are good.

Eagle has seen a dramatic increase in the following kinds of cases:

Tracking debtors:
When times get tough, people get serious about collecting money that's owed to them. Oftentimes, the person who owes the money tries to avoid the phone calls, or goes so far as to change their phone number entirely. That's when Eagle gets the call. Eagle has seen the volume of these kinds of cases increase this year so far by about 30% over last year.

Serving papers:
When the debtor is found, if a reasonable payment resolution is not reached, then the person who is owed the money has no choice but to file suit. That's when private investigators, usually get the call. This Atlanta private investigator has seen an increase in this kind of business by about 25% this year.

Asset searches:
Many times, the person owed money will want to know just what kind of financial footing the debtor has. Eagle can find assets, bank accounts, run credit reports and do quick surveillances to determine the likelihood of collecting from a debtor. They've seen an increase of almost 50% in these kinds of cases this year.

Collections:
Fact is, the traditional collections industry is really struggling right now. Collection letters go straight into the trash and phone calls get ignored. With 15 licensed investigators, and an available worldwide network of professionals, Eagle can simply "reach out and touch someone". When a debtor can put a face and a name to a debt, it becomes far more real for them. Eagle has seen this area of business increase 75% this year.

Corporate Short Term Security:
As companies downsize and fire employees, many of these employees are none to happy to walk out the door. They often try to take company secrets with them, and sometimes they become violent. The presence of a burly investigator tends to calm the situation. This area has increased for Eagle by 75% this year.

Fifth, the ability to handle these types of assignments quickly usually leads to other expanded services. For example, a recently-fired employee's computer is a prime target for a computer forensics investigation into the employee's use of that computer prior to getting fired.

Sixth, many private investigators are feeling the economic pinch because they stop or minimize their marketing. Eagle says "We've invested heavily in direct mail and it's paying off nicely. It's also further positioning us as a reliable, here-to-stay company."
