Ever wondered why some building dealers thrive while others struggle to stay afloat? The answer might be simpler than you think.
When Jared sits down with Shannon "The Shed Geek" for this captivating conversation, they cut through industry noise to reveal what's really happening in steel structure and shed sales. Shannon brings his years of experience building the Shed Geek brand and community to share wisdom that applies across the construction space.
Their honest discussion tackles the dangerous "race to the bottom" mentality plaguing dealers and manufacturers alike. "You want to know why you don't make money selling steel buildings? Because you're selling cheap steel buildings," Jared points out, highlighting how quality-focused businesses ultimately win the long game while fly-by-night operations eventually disappear—often leaving customers stranded with warranties that can't be honored.
The duo doesn't shy away from challenging topics, including how technology and AI are reshaping the industry landscape. Rather than fearing these changes, they encourage dealers to embrace them as tools that enhance rather than replace human expertise. Shannon frames it perfectly: "I find that the industry does that because we simply insult what we don't understand."
Perhaps most valuable is their exploration of how personal values shape business success. Both hosts share candidly about standing firm in their beliefs while building genuinely helpful communities through the Steel Structure Sales Professionals and Shed Sales Professionals Facebook groups—spaces where competitors come together to elevate the entire industry rather than just their individual businesses.
