/

Welcome Tim Finley of T.Fin Building solutions to the Creating Structure Podcast. This is a lively discussion that moves through a variety of topics including sales, marketing, glass, glazing, manufacturer's representation, dynamic glass, start-ups, sales-based organizations, technically-based organizations, value propositions, relationship building, trends, COVID-19 awareness, and yes, even ice fishing (Tim lives in Minnesota.) Tim is a self-described "Sun problem solver" and "daylight fanatic" looking to provide solutions to clients, buyers, architects, stakeholders, building owners, and related parties, in the glass, fenestration and cladding industry. Tim and his firm represent a suite of products and companies that you can find in the links below, but Tim's main focus is delivering solutions. Tim has worked in a major corporation, a start up, private company, public company, and now for himself in his own startup.
