About Mike Foti
I have 3 areas of focus in business• CONSTRUCTION & BUILDING MATERIALS ENTREPRENEUR – I am a passionate entrepreneur with a business (Innovate Building Solutions) which does nationwide wholesale of unique building products (grout free laminate shower and tub wall panels and shower pans, glass block shower and window systems, glass floors, glass countertops) and regional remodeling (windows, doors, kitchen and bathroom projects and home organization systems).I am an active and enthusiastic digital marketer. • BLOGGER – Construction people are not often into writing – but I enjoy blogging to talk about unique products and projects. I blog on 3 sites. News from the Block (bathroom and glass related articles), Professionally Organized (home organization systems and solutions) and Innovate Builders Blog (marketing/business advice and remodeling/building trends to help builders and remodelers grow their business) • SPEAKER – Through my speaking business Leadership Builders I help other entrepreneurs on how to get results through people in business. I also can offer insights on using social media and digital marketing techniques to grow results in a building materials, remodeling or construction business. Who I work with : • BUILDING PRODUCTS & SERVICES – On a nationwide basis I work with interior designers, architects, custom builders & remodelers and high end homeowners to take the mystery out of unique building materials (like our laminate shower and tub wall panel line) and how they can be used in a home. On a regional level our Cleveland Design & Remodeling business with will work owners to turn their remodeling dreams into reality. • HOME IMPROVEMENT – Practical products which can provide security, energy savings and lower maintenance is the focus of our Columbus and Cleveland home improvement divisions. In these divisions I work with home improvement companies, rehabbers, production builders and real estate management companies on building product solutions for their projects. •
