MEET DETAIL MENTOR
What is Detail Mentor? A simple answer.. Passion. Early into my professional detailing career, I saw the proverbial black hole of business related material in the detailing industry. There was such a need for content, discussion, instruction that I decided to do something about it. Years later, Detail Mentor is established to help detailers who are serious about their business take it to a level they may have never dreamed it could become.

WHO IS THE DETAIL MENTOR?
My name is Mark Barger, Lead Mentor for the Detail Mentor program. I own my own Professional Detailing business, Visual Pro Detailing, located in Southern Illinois.
During years of trail, error, education, and at times hardship, I have build a very profitable, successful, and enjoyable detailing business.
While in the process of going from a clueless self employed individual to a profitable and savvy business owner, I learned a lot along the way. Through this I wanted to create something to help the people who are at the same or similar situation that I was in when first starting out my business.
And here it is, Detail Mentor. I want to help you navigate the land mines of detail business ownership, avoid the footfalls that I fell in many times, and go straight to the part where you start making real money, living a better life, and start experiencing what true success is.
Join up, buckle up, and let’s do this. Time to forget the past, and look towards the future.
