Developed ways to generate more business. Realizing that everyone who buys an above-ground pool needs a deck to enter and exit. Developed relationships with pool companies to refer him and paid referral commissions.

Contacted home builders who were too busy to build add-on decks and offered to be their deck guy, and was able to generate referrals.
