Walters Buildings Authorized Dealer U.B. Builders Achieves Record Pole Building Sales Volume Increase in Less Than a Year

Leading storage building manufacturer Walters Buildings announced today that authorized dealer U.B. Builders has achieved a record sales volume increase after joining the company’s network of post frame building dealers less than a year ago. The dealer more than doubled its post frame building sales to reach the second highest sales volume of all Walters dealers during 2006.

Walters Buildings VP Sales and Marketing Brent Henschel said, “We are extremely pleased with U.B. Builders’ performance as a new dealer this year. We place a high priority on helping construction companies grow their post-frame building business through our dealer program, and U.B. Builders has enthusiastically embraced all the tools and support we offer. Their outstanding growth this year is a tribute to their drive and commitment to the industry, as well as their ability to take advantage of new opportunities and technologies for their business.”

Chris Bower, Business Manager at U.B. Builders, commented, “The Walters Buildings dealer program allowed us to more than double our post-frame building business in 2006. In particular, the substantial increase in leads we receive from Walters has expanded the number of projects we can quote on while lowering our advertising costs. The sales and support staff are exceptional, and it goes without saying that Walters offers the highest quality materials of any pole building manufacturer.”

- Quick turnaround on pricing and man hour
estimates.
