About Don Nelson
Helping national and regional multi facility corporations bring building plans to life through a process that is repeatable across North America.Work centers on guiding C-level teams and multi-location owners through complex projects -turning ideas into metal buildings that support growth, expansion, and new markets. Previously coached sales and operations teams to focus on what matters most to customers: faster timelines, clear communication, and real partnership. This approach has grown builder networks by double digits, opened new territories, and captured thousands of additional tons in shipments.Marketing efforts have supported these goals by making it easier for decision-makers to find answers and see value quickly. New websites, digital campaigns, and rebranding boosted LinkedIn impressions by 950% and tripled Facebook followers—turning engagement into real opportunities.Experience includes negotiating exclusive distribution agreements with European manufacturers, building independent rep networks, and developing AIA-accredited education programs that delivered seven-figure new business. Even earlier, running a successful per-engineered construction company meant facing the same day-to-day challenges customers see—from safety to sales to operations.The focus stays the same:• Understand what multi-location owners and developers need• Remove barriers between concept and construction• Deliver metal building solutions that drive growthWhat project or challenge is on your horizon?
