Leveraging Resources and Networking with Competitors

What happens here

The owner highlights the importance of networking within the industry. He's at a competitor's construction site in Edina, seeking soil for his own project after his original supplier's loader left. He emphasizes using DirtMonkey.net as a resource to connect with other contractors for soil needs. He mentions that by leveraging such platforms and building relationships, he's saved thousands of dollars annually by finding local sources for dirt, rather than transporting it over long distances. He recalls making numerous calls to excavation contractors in the Twin Cities area to set up his network, which now allows him to efficiently acquire or dispose of soil.

Goal: Efficiently source and dispose of soil by networking with other contractors and using industry platforms.
