Paul Garcia has been with 360Connect for an impressive 18 years. Reflecting on his journey, Paul shared how the company’s foundational principles—honesty, integrity, and customer-first values—motivated him to join and stay with the team.
“Business is about working with great people,” Paul said. “I immediately noticed the commitment to doing right by the customer, and that resonated with me.”
Similarly, Andrew Klett, celebrating 14 years with the company, was drawn to 360Connect through firsthand experience. Prior to joining, Andrew worked with Mobile Mini, one of 360Connect’s longest-standing clients.
“I used their leads extensively at my previous company and had so much success with them,” Andrew shared. “It made me believe in their product and service, which is why I joined the team.”
What is 360Connect?
360Connect is an online marketplace designed to bridge the gap between buyers and sellers. Whether it’s storage containers, mobile offices, or modular buildings, the platform provides buyers with access to reputable suppliers while offering suppliers a channel to connect with customers actively searching for their products.
From the buyer’s perspective, the marketplace eliminates the guesswork by matching their needs with vetted suppliers. For sellers, it provides high-quality leads—potential customers raising their hands and saying, “I want to buy now.”
“This is the modern marketplace,” Paul explained. “People are always searching online for solutions, and we provide a seamless way to connect them with the right providers.”
The Role of Technology
One of 360Connect’s standout features is its ability to streamline the lead generation process through advanced technology. The platform’s quick and user-friendly forms enable buyers to provide detailed information about their needs, such as the type of product, project specifications, and location.
“Buyers can complete our forms in about 45 seconds, and then we immediately connect them with suppliers who can meet their specific needs,” Paul noted.
The numbers are staggering:
• 27,000 annual requests for modular buildings
• 30,000 annual requests for mobile offices
• 300,000+ annual requests for storage containers
These statistics highlight the vast demand within the industry and the untapped opportunities suppliers can leverage through 360Connect.
Supporting the Construction Space
Paul emphasized that many construction suppliers excel in their core business but often struggle with marketing and lead generation. “That’s where we come in,” he said. “We invest heavily in creating effective marketing campaigns, optimizing web pages, and ensuring forms are simple yet impactful.”
Andrew added that the ease of use and speed of the process have received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Suppliers appreciate having a reliable partner to capture leads they might otherwise miss, while buyers value the efficiency of finding a trusted provider.
Building Partnerships
360Connect isn’t just about generating leads; it’s about building meaningful partnerships. Whether working with large corporations or small businesses, the team continuously seeks new vendors and suppliers to expand their network and meet the growing demand.
“Sales and marketing require constant effort,” Andrew explained. “We’re always on the lookout for new customers and partners to ensure our marketplace remains robust and dynamic.”
Final Thoughts
Paul and Andrew’s dedication to connecting the dots between buyers and sellers showcases the critical role 360Connect plays in the offsite construction industry. Their insights underscore the importance of embracing technology and partnerships to thrive in a competitive market.
As Paul put it, “There’s more opportunity out there than many suppliers realize. We’re here to help them find it and grow.”
For those looking to expand their reach, improve efficiency, or tap into new markets, 360Connect offers an invaluable resource. We’re grateful for the opportunity to share their story and look forward to seeing how they continue to shape the industry.
