THE PI GUY

TIPS, TRICKS & ADVICE FOR PROFESSIONAL PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS

PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS BOOKS

John Morris / Author / Private Investigator / Business Entrepreneur

I joined the professional private investigations industry in 2008 and have never looked back. After spending decades working for corporate America, making millionaires millions, I decided it was time to utilize the vast skills I had gained to help others. Along with big business, marketing, advertising, and sales knowledge, I also spent fourteen years serving my community with the city of Evans, Colorado. During my fourteen years with the City of Evans, I held the positions of Planning Commissioner, Vice-Chairman for the planning commission, and Chairman for the planning commission. I then became City Councilman, Mayor-Pro-Tem, and ultimately Mayor for two terms.

In 2020 I started the YouTube Channel (The PI Guy) to help educate new and aspiring private investigators. I have had a passion for training all my life, and I enjoy assisting others in meeting their professional and personal goals. In 2020 I also released my first book, Business Basics for Private Investigators – The Evolution of a PI Business. This was the first in my series, How to Become a Private Investigator, which also includes Marketing Basics for Private Investigators – How to Compete as a PI and Sales Basics for Private Investigators – Proven Sales Strategies for PIs. 

My most popular book is Contracts for Private Investigators – Secrets No One Else Will Tell You. This book will walk you step by step as you write and create your private investigator’s contract. Writing your contract allows you to customize the agreement to your specific private investigations business and services provided. Multiple free contract templates are also included, which can be copied and used for your private investigator business.

 I have also created the Private Investigators Case Management Journal. This is based on the system I still use today to help me manage my entire caseload. I release a new version yearly to ensure every PI using it can maintain annual records of their case notes.
