Welcome to a brand-new season of Strong Conversations—Building the Brand! This season, we’re spotlighting the entrepreneurs and leaders shaping the building industry, uncovering the grit, determination, and passion behind successful brands. Together, we’ll explore what it takes to grow a bold idea into a thriving business while fostering a culture where employees and innovation can flourish.
Episode 1: We Really Don’t Say No
We’re kicking off the Building the Brand season with “We Really Don’t Say No,” featuring Jeff Moran, co-founder and manager of RebatePros. When a friend and colleague presented him with the challenge of simplifying manufacturer rebates, Jeff embraced the opportunity and never looked back. That decision sparked the creation of RebatePros, a company driven by a clear mission: “Simplify the rebate process for homebuilders and product manufacturers while ensuring timely and accurate reporting, invoicing, and collection.” Join us as Jeff shares how his philosophy of saying “yes” transformed an idea into a thriving brand.
We’ve been working with Jen Woodhouse for nearly a decade. Over those years she’s built projects as small as this modern dog house to others as large as a floating deck. In the last two years, she’s built a backyard Pergola, DIY’d a workbench in under two hours and even designed and built a fence with our free Fence Planner Software. Jen is a fantastic DIYer who is a dream to work with and who isn’t afraid to tackle even the largest projects that can bring a backyard to life.
