Gibson Contractor College: Know more, sell more!

Gibson Contractor College

We’re excited to announce that our Gibson Contractor College series is back!  Join us for six FREE virtual sessions with industry-leading roofing and exterior building suppliers. This is your chance to discover the latest product innovations and new ways to grow your business. You’ll get to connect directly with vendors who’ll answer your questions and show you how to take this year’s roofing and building season to the next level.

Why is Gibson Contractor College so helpful? 

It’s simple. The more you know, the more you’ll sell! Especially when you combine it with a needs-based approach to selling. When you take the time to really understand the needs of your customers, you can do more than just sell them a roof or a building project. You can offer them a total solution that gives them exactly what they want … and they’ll be more likely to buy from you. 

Knowing more about your products and combining that with a needs-based approach to selling is a total win-win …  for you and for your customers.
