With your first batch of panels stacked, you take a walk through the local mall. You spot a prime corner storefront that is boarded up. They need a barricade, fast. You'll need 12 of your 8' tall panels to close it in.
Three people are standing outside discussing the project. Who do you approach?
You approach the Mall Manager. She loves that the panels prevent drywall dust. How do you pitch it?
"Absolutely not," she scoffs. "I'm not buying these and storing them in my maintenance closet."
You approach the GC. He is intrigued by the installation speed, but his crews have never worked with modular walls before.
"No way," the GC shakes his head. "I'm not dropping 4 grand on a system my guys haven't used. We'll stick to drywall."
You approach the Retail Rep. They are obsessed with their brand image and hate the look of bare plywood.
"Why would we buy walls?" they ask, confused. "We hired a GC to handle the construction. We just want it to look good."
They are on board with the walls! Do you want to pitch a custom vinyl graphics wrap for extra revenue?
You've built up a fresh inventory of 10 panels. Instead of waiting for the phone to ring, it's time to hit the pavement. Who do you want to follow up with from your first gig?
"Hey Boss! Good timing. We've got another mall job and the client wants the barricade handled turnkey. We need 10 panels. What's the play?"
"Ah, the client isn't quite ready to buy them outright. It's a bit too much upfront capital without a guaranteed second use."
The GC agrees to the base panels. Do you want to try upselling a custom graphics wrap?
"Hello. Yes, we actually have a dead zone near the food court we want to block off from the public. We need 10 panels. I prefer renting."
"I told you during the last job, I am not storing these in my maintenance facility. We will rent them or I'll find someone else."
The Manager agrees to the base panels. Do you want to pitch a custom graphics wrap?
"Hi! We're opening a seasonal pop-up and need a 10-panel barricade. We want it to look incredible."
"We don't have the capital budget to buy walls for a temporary pop-up. Just rent them to us."
The Store Rep agrees to the base panels. Do you want to pitch a custom graphics wrap?
Your outbound sales push was a success, but you can't be everywhere at once. You decide to hire a dedicated Sales Rep to drum up business automatically. What strategic focus do you want them to have?
A new contract just came across your desk, but reality hits you—you can't be in two places at once. Between running the warehouse, pitching clients, and hauling panels to jobs, you are completely maxed out.
It's time to build a dedicated installation crew to keep your company growing.
Your operations are running smoothly. You have production, logistics, and sales all dialed in. But the competition is waking up, and raw effort won't be enough to scale nationally.
There is a commercial office available in the local business park. It's time to open an Innovation Center and start heavily optimizing your margins.
Word is getting around about your temporary wall business. A local commercial banker stopped by the warehouse today, impressed by your hustle.
"We love seeing local businesses scale," he said, handing you his card. "If you ever need capital to buy materials or hire more crew, we've pre-approved you for a $15,000 line of credit."
The ink is dry on the lease and you finally have some real floor space.
Automation Unlocked: You can now hire Shop Hands! They require a daily wage, but they will continuously manufacture panels for you so you can focus on closing deals.
