The digital revolution is transforming the shed industry, creating a stark divide between thriving businesses and those struggling to stay afloat. James, CEO and co-founder of Shed Pro, joins the podcast to share his remarkable journey from government contractor to shed industry innovator—a path guided by faith and a mission to serve others through excellent business practices.
What began as a digital marketing agency in Vietnam evolved when three shed companies approached James within 60 days, all seeking 3D configurator solutions. This convergence sparked Shed Pro's transformation into a comprehensive platform addressing every aspect of shed business operations. From websites and configurators to their newest Operations Hub featuring point-of-sale, inventory management, and delivery scheduling, Shed Pro continues expanding its offerings while maintaining laser focus on the shed industry.
The conversation reveals fascinating insights about the intersection of faith and business excellence. "We believe in a God that is excellent, so we should do the same kind of work," James explains, describing how this philosophy drives their customer service approach and team culture. This commitment has fueled significant growth, with four team members recently onboarded and plans to hire four more in the coming months.
Perhaps most valuable is the discussion about digital transformation's role in business success. James describes the stark reality: companies investing strategically in their online presence are experiencing record sales, while those neglecting their digital storefronts struggle to survive. From optimizing Google Business listings to generating authentic reviews and creating seamless customer experiences, today's successful shed businesses recognize that digital excellence is no longer optional.
For dealers seeking independence within manufacturer networks, Shed Pro offers innovative solutions including cost-sharing arrangements and discounted configurators using pre-built manufacturer models. This approach enables dealers to establish digital presence without massive investment, bridging a crucial gap in the industry.
