Join Heidi as she speaks with Gary Cohen about the upcoming Certified Contractor Network conference this April and find out how to attend for FREE! 

In Season 4, Episode 13 of Roofing Road Trips, Heidi J. Ellsworth speaks with Gary Cohen, vice president of Certified Contractor Network (CCN) about their upcoming RENOVATE Spring Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona, April 28-30. 

CCN was founded over 25 years ago and since then, they’ve worked hard to provide valuable resources for contractors to help them succeed in the construction industry. Gary tells us that the main goal of CCN is to help contractors develop knowledge, skills and processes that maximize how customers experience their business and their own profits. 

“We definitely offer the best training in sales process, sales management, financial management, production, marketing, operations and administration,” Gary says. “But training is only a part of what we do. We have also created a very powerful and cohesive network of contractors.” 

One of the great things about this year’s CCN conference is that non-members can attend to try out the CCN experience for themselves. Not only that, but Gary let us in on a ticket deal for nonmembers. Any contractor who is not a member and who registers by March 31 can get their ticket at a discounted price of $297 (the original nonmember price is $1,050). And when nonmembers arrive at the conference and check in, the $297 will be immediately refunded. 

On the first day of the conference, there will be an interactive contractor marketing bootcamp. Here, contractors can learn how to enhance their marketing strategies and get more leads on sales. Although the bootcamp is free, those who wish to attend will have to register for it separately in advance. 

“This (conference) is an opportunity to talk with current owners and understand the value of being a member in this community, and it's an absolute game changer. There's nothing better than hearing about this from fellow contractors,” Gary says.
