3 Years Later - Learn About Dave's Multi-million Dollar Fencing Company


Listen Later

3 years ago, I brought one of the active members in the Site Shed community onto the show to talk about how he used creative marketing in his business to make it to the top. Back then, he spiked a lot of interest in the community because of his unique approach to obtaining work and winning trust.

Fast forward 3 years later, and David Gatto — the CEO of Future Solutions Fence & Fence Supply is back to share with us how his journey has been over the previous years. Growing his business and turning it into a 3-million dollar company in just a span of 3 years.
