Greg knows how difficult it can be running a business while working full me because he’s doing it! As a concrete driver trekking around the five boroughs of New York City, the job leaves him lile me to spend with his wife and five children. He, understandably, wants to spend less me in the truck and more me with his family, so he started teaching himself how to use Zoho in hopes of being able to step out of the truck someday.
Greg’s Introducon to The Workflow Academy
While Greg was doing a great job teaching himself how to use Zoho’s programs, he wasn’t fully confident in his knowledge and was looking for someone to help him understand the processes a bit beer. Learning about Peter Fuller, The Workflow Academy creator, and its courses were exactly what he
needed to feel comfortable and take his skills to the next level!
How The Workflow Academy Helped Create Trade Star
While Greg is sll adding to his system in Zoho for his concrete business, he recognized the capabilies it could have for other construcon companies. You see, there aren’t a lot of tech companies that cater to
businesses in the trade industry, and Greg wanted to change that. While creang his own CRM, he was wrapping his head around what he could do to create a system to help companies just like his. And that’s how Trade Star started!
Greg’s Favorite Parts of Zoho
Coding exactly what he needs and the sasfacon of watching the whole project come together are some of Greg’s favorite parts of using Zoho. Programs like Zoho Books allowed him to learn and fall in love with the business aspects of the system. He spends most of his me working in Zoho CRM, because of everything its capabilies allow him to do.
The fact he was able to teach himself while sll working is another aspect of Zoho and The Workflow Academy that made all the difference. Greg wanted to switch gears, but wouldn’t have been able to take me off of work to learn how to start a business. The Workflow Academy not only taught him how to useZoho programs to effecvely run his business, but it also allowed him to work on the road at the same me. He hopes he’ll be able to step out of the truck for good someme soon, and with his passion and drive, we know it’s only a maer of me before he makes it happen.
