Quotable Moments from the Show
"If you want to build that credibility, if you've done a lot of jobs, go and get photos of the before, the during, the after, have videos of that stuff, get it on your website. Showcase what your capabilities are." - Khalil Benalioulhaj
"You can do many different things, but at a foundational level, you've gotta put in some footwork. You have to get in person, you have to get in front of people. It's going to make a difference." -Khalil Benalioulhaj
"You must understand who your target market is, who you're after, what they care about, their buyer's journey. How do they become aware? How do they decide, you know, educate themselves on what to do and make the decision? And you want to be the one filling in that gap. You have to talk to people. I mean, there are industries where that's not true. But in the industry of construction, you talk to people. You have to build a relationship, you have to reach out." - Martin Holland
