Send us a textToday I’m sitting down with Shane Wenzel; the President of Shane Homes - one of the largest and most recognized home builders in Calgary, Canada. Following in his father’s footsteps, Shane joined the family business which seemed only natural since it was named after him. He started off in sales and quickly worked his way up the ranks, becoming the President of the company in 2010.  Since then, Shane has been instrumental in creating a high profile brand, using various digital platforms to connect with his audience on a more personal level. I invited Shane to be a guest on my show to learn how a home builder goes to market to become an award-winning brand.
