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 gotta get in person, you gotta get in front of people. It's gonna make a difference." -Khalil Benalioulhaj
"You have to 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 make the decision, you know, educate themselves on what to do and make the decision? And you want to be the one filling in that gap. You gotta talk to people. I mean in there are industries where that's not true. But in the industry's construction, you've gotta talk to people. You have to build a relationship, you have to reach out." - Martin Holland
