In 2017, Susan Frair and her husband wanted to build a shed, and was floored by the terrible service she received from every shed company they reached out to. She knew she could do it better—and so she started Shed Gal and became a dealer for a local company. Their first year in business, Shed Gal sold more sheds than all the other dealers combined. Today, they’re one of the nation’s top dealers for Graceland Portable Buildings, and the number one shed dealer in the state of Washington.

One key to that success is Shed Gal’s effective sales training program. In this video, we’ll take a behind the scenes look at the company’s training manual and CIS to see how she trains her crew. She’ll also share her sales tips for business leaders, and what she does differently from other shed companies to give customers an exceptional experience.

It may shock viewers to know Shed Gal has a very low monthly advertising budget, devoted entirely to giveaways, their main form of marketing. We’ll find out how these giveaways translate to sales, and how businesses can maximize their marketing budget to increase sales without spending a ton of money.

Speaking of giveaways, Shed Gal is giving UpFlip viewers a 5% discount. Just enter the promo code “upflipshedgal” on their website: https://shedgal.com/.
