Unlike many of us, Danny Harding pretty much knew what he was going to be when he grew up at the age of 13. He started working on roofs and other home improvement jobs in Philadelphia with his father as a teenager and has stuck with it ever since.

Thanks to years of experience, Danny took the big step and started his own business, Tanks Roofing & Contracting, back in 2012. I recently chatted with Danny to hear how he got started, what he thinks of CraftJack and some of his most memorable projects he got from some of our roofing leads.

Uno de los grandes temas que preocupan a las empresas y a los contratistas es precisamente el crecimiento de su compañía. Mientras que el crecimiento es una de las metas de todo contratista y empresario, la pregunta más importante siempre será “¿Cuánto me costará hacerlo?” Al considerar este punto en el presupuesto anual de cada compañía, es importante incluir temas como la maquinaria, el personal y la infraestructura que será necesaria para lograr el crecimiento deseado. Sin embargo, no se debe dejar de lado el mercadeo y la generación de clientes potenciales que dará la pauta a que todo el plan se consolide de manera efectiva. Porque la realidad es que sin la obtención de clientes nuevos, no hay posibilidad de crecimiento, aun cuando se invierta una fortuna en otros aspectos.
