Ep.139 - Most remodeling websites look good. Too many still act like brochures. In this episode of Endless Customers, Alex Winter sits down with Shane Rogers, Content Manager at ZINTEX Remodeling Group, to break down what happened when their team stopped relying on outside partners and started building a marketing system they actually own.
