We decided to list here several of the benefits and advantages that we offer and present the “value” that we offer to our network of sales representatives and dealer partners at Tex Shed that you'll find no where else. 

Ten Reasons to Work for Tex Shed 

1) Independent Network

Through our own experiences we’ve learned the hard way why its never a good idea to be “captive” to any one builder/installer in the steel structures industry. We too started captive to ONE factory vendor, but never again. Not unlike your local “State Farm” insurance agent who is “captive” to State Farm, when you are restricted in your public offerings to ONLY one company your options can become quite limited, even with the best of Companies. If you’re shopping for insurance, your State Farm agent has ONE offer with ONE set of terms, and ONE price. Conversely, the local “independent” agent, can shop your insurance policy among, 5, 10, perhaps 20 or more insurance companies to find not only the lowest competitive price, but better terms perfect for your individual needs!

At Tex Shed, we ARE the “independent agency” of the both the backyard shed & steel structures industires, with two local backyard shed lines; over 40 tubular steel structure manufacturers across the nation; and multiple factories for both Cold Form Steel and Red Iron Frame steel buildings. This gives YOU the sales representative, the best opportunity to find not only the BEST deal and prices on any given day, but different or unique options only available from different factories, and sometimes most importantly better lead times and/or better customer (and dealer) support!

We’ve experienced situations whereby one manufacturer did a fabulous job for our customers and treated us right too, only to change “policy” or raise "prices" & fees, or even lower commission rates...or worse, got MONTHS behind on deliveries or installations. During those times we could not in good conscience stick around sending future business into a dumpster fire! We took our clients business elsewhere, where they could get the best value for their money! Manufacturer/Installers change prices frequently in this business. One week one vendor has the best price and great lead times too, the next week they raise their prices and get backed up on lead times, while their competitors simultaneously lowers prices and announces faster lead times. Tex Shed's large network of vendors gives YOU the opportunity to ALWAYS shop for the best deal for your client, most often with 3-4 or more choices depending on the customers location.

Corporately, we stay on top of these changes and let you know as things change and where to look for the best deals for your customers, and for you. We’re also continuing to add new vendors frequently, adding new locations and opportunities for you to expand your selling coverage. Most "portable buildings" we sell are available for FREE delivery and setup within 50-60 miles of our lot in Beasley Texas, and we can often deliver up to 200 miles for extra mileage charges. We can install tubular steel buildings today in more than 46 states across American, and structural steel building kits to all 50 states and internationally! Several fantastic vendors have just recently been added to our steel network with higher-than-normal negotiated commission rates too (because of our volume) for the states of Texas, Arizona, Washington, Nebraska, Florida and California, as well as New England for example!

 2. ACCESS

We have most of the BIG factory partners in our network roster already when the big boys are what you need. We currently have standing dealer agreements with two of the largest portable building manufacturers in Texas, and most of the major steel building companies across the nation, as well as more than a couple dozen smaller or regional fabricator/installer shops, with over 70 factory locations across the country in our network. These relationships keep us on top of all current trends and offers, industry pricing trends, competitive advantages, and best practices that in turn help YOU become a trusted expert and top producing consultant for your customers. It also allows us a service are realistically emcompassing over 46 states across the USA.

3. TECHNOLOGY

We stay on top of the latest technology that allows you to produce and price building proposals / quotes at the fastest speed possible and in the most professional manner. Many of us learned this business originally utilizing paper price flyers and manual drawings. Figuring the price on a simple carport wasn’t so difficult, but larger more complex structures often got complicated and generally required assistance from the home office of the factory, IF you could ever get them on the phone or to return an email. Tex Shed embraces the latest in technology and offers complete access to, AND training for, each configurator system to our Representatives! We have our own private label branded version of the Idearoom Carport Configurator for Steel Buildings & Structures, preprogrammed with price and configuration data sets from more than a dozen vendors! We also have a vendor labeled version of the Idearoom Shed Configurator for designng portable buildings, garages and Cabins! Whether your need is a 4”x4” galvanized post frame structure in Texas, a basic tubular carport in Michigan, a complex commercial building structure in Georgia, or a 16x40 cabin shed in Wharton, Texas, our Idearoom configurator builders allows you to toggle between vendors and build just what the customer requests, fully priced, accurate, and in full 3D.

In addition, to Idearoom, we also operate a fully licensed Sensei Carport Configurator for steel structures AND its co-bundled CRM (customer relationship management) system, allowing for permanent detailed record keeping of your prospects, clients, proposals, orders and more! Not only does it offer best of breed CRM functions but creates orders in the specific manufacturers format and sends it to the customer for e-signature with the touch of a button. One more touch of a button to electronically invoice the customer for their deposit. This turnkey system allows our representatives to process and manage LARGE volumes of leads, proposals, customers and orders!

Lastly, we have engineering configurator designers for both Cold Form Steel and Red Iron Frame buildings! We give you access to it as well! You’ll have access to the finest CRM and Configurator Builder Softwares on the market, direct linked (for styles and prices) to our dozens of Manufacturers around the country.

4. HIGHER GROSS COMMISSIONS

Our volume allows us to negotiate BETTER and higher deposit / commission rates than most individual dealers can get. We all understand the Walmart phenomenon. Buy in high volume, get the best price. Although we aren’t “yet” large enough to command higher commission from some of the largest players, we already have in place at least 10 mfg commission agreements allowing significantly higher than average commissions for larger structures, including from 2 of the 3 majors! We have several more at slightly higher (even from majors), against an industry average commission payout much lower.  As our aggregate volume grows, as will our ability to continue negotiating even better commission rates for us all! Standard commissions in portable buildings are lower but still excellent and we currently have ONE vendor that just gave us a big raise on commissions because of our volume!

5. TRAINING  

Some large companies like our own manufacturer partners Coast to Coast, Eagle, ASC and Carolina Carports (not a partner) spent years and huge sums of money setting up thousands of "carport" dealers across American. Unfortunately, they seemed to have missed the mark in not providing much upfront or ANY ongoing TRAINING, hoping instead for a few orders here and there to trickle in. The whole idea was built around the concept of a “side hustle” for business in other fields, like a hardware store, used car lot, or nursery business selling a few carports a year on the side. We take a different approach. 

We offer the training necessary for YOU to generate an above-average, FULL-TIME income, and a potentially very lucrative income at that. This only occurs with excellent training upfront, ongoing training, AND all-day, every-day support! We assist you as needed every step of the way. We have reps earning in excess of $10,000/month take-home and we want ALL our reps doing that and then some. We want you to be as successful as you can be as our financial interest are aligned! The better you do, the better we do! To date, we’ve put together about 32+ training videos to get you started, and are in process of developing several dozen more over the course of the next year. And we are always available IMMEDIATELY by phone, text, messenger or email if you need assistance, even after you leave the office includings weekends and evenings! We stay accessible by email and phone, and we aren’t opposed to taking a cell phone or text even into the evening or weekends to help you close the deal or get pointed in the right direction! We only earn when YOU earn! 

6. RELATIONSHIP

We’re a family-owned business just like you, and we’ll treat you like our family. Just closed a deal and need that commission advanced quickly to pay a bill, we gotcha covered. Need some time off for a family emergency or health issue? We understand and are happy to support you anyway we can. Over your head on a complicated build or a difficult client? We’re here to help you across the finish line. Your success is our success, and we grow together!

7. ADDED REVENUE

We’ll teach you how to earn even more in your business with “add-on” businesses! We’ve developed several “local only” oriented business models that we’ll share with you to help you increase your earnings even more. Locally, we sell hundreds of concrete pads concurrent with the buildings and covers that we sell locally. Do we actually lay rebar and pour concrete? NO!! But we have recruited a professional team that does, and we make tens of thousands of “extra” dollars annually from shared commissions from those, as well as increase our closing ratio by as much as 80% by offering Concrete Pad services as a turn-key package through our partners! We’ll show you how to do the same working with our local concrete team.

We earn additional revenues offering several other complimentary services like Spray Foam insulation, construction materials, pad prep services, even septic system sales in some locations! We’ll show you how to "partner up" and market those services for commission too in our local market, adding even more to your bottom line.

We are one of the largest PORTABLE BUILDING & SHED dealers in the Houston market through "Tex Shed" (www.TexShed.com).  We know a thing or two about selling PORTABLE BUILDING structures and have many great connections in the industry. Although we are unable to manage local shed sales as a nationwide business, we’re are in need of local area representatives! We provide full access for you with our local area shed sales opportunities as well as nationwide sales of permanent steel structures! We even have "virtual" shed dealership opportunities here, where just like with our steel structures, you "design and sell" using Idearoom "shed" building software for custom orders that get delivered right to your customer upon build completion. Not lot rent required, its here. No inventory needed on your part. We have it! Just need your presence & good marketing.

Earn much more money with Tex Shed utilizing the skills & techniques we’ll pass on to you for FREE! No override, no fees. Just free education & advice to help you earn a more abundant living! We truly want to help you to become immensely successful!

8. MARKETING

Honestly if I had to pick ONE reason only to partner with Tex Shed, THIS is it... Our founder Darrel Uselton has become one of the nations most skilled internet marketers over the past 20 years. As an early pioneer utilizing Google Adwords, Mr. Uselton successfully managed a $9 million annual ad budget with Google as early as the year 2006. You just don’t spend that kind of money without positive results on the back end! As you read this, or on any given day, the Company’s email and social media inboxes are brimming full of FRESH leads of customers requesting a proposal for their perfect steel building or structure! Utilizing several networks for advertising, we almost never run out of “someone to talk to” about a portable building, carport, RV cover, garage, barn, barndominium or steel structure. 

You might not see it on your street, but the public demand for our outdoor building products is TRULY off the charts! There are literally MILLIONS of people across America looking to store all their junk in an outbuilding, put up a cabin at the deer lease, cover that new toy or car, house those new animals, start their own business, or house themselves in a more cost-effective way. Demographics are shifting and the population here is rising rapidly. Costs are too. Millions are moving from the cities to more rural areas and they’re looking to build barns, houses, garages, boat covers, RV covers and more! High inflation forces everyone to seek out more economical ways to build things. We blow the doors off traditional red-iron or wood-frame construction, offering the absolute best value for the dollar! And baby…business is BOOMING! We need YOU and many more like you to join us to help keep up with the demand & lead flow!

More importantly we know how to get these folks ready to talk to you. Our website at www.TexShed.com is designed and regularly enhanced to do one thing, SELL your customer BEFORE they ever contact you. We have over 60 portable buildings both IN STOCK and online, plus 100’s of PRICED steel structure examples in the “inventory” section and 1000’s more stock images in our Galleries, giving your customers the ability to “shop online” while in their underwear (or whatever) in the comfort of their home! When they reach out to YOU, they likely already know what they want, what it looks like, and its approximate cost. All you need to do is to finalize the details, write up the ticket, and process the order! The website will do much of the “selling” for you! We absolutely know how to generate the leads. As importantly, we'll teach you how to do it for yourself. You'll be as busy (or not) as you want to be!

More times than you’d expect, customers click the link on our homepage for the DIY (do-it-yourself) Idearoom designer/builder. They use our Idearoom configurator/builder to build out their own shed or steel building design and submit it for quote. All you need to do is login to activate the prices, then send it back to the customer with YOUR contact information! Follow up, help with modifications or changes and finalize the order. Our configurator link can even be posted to your own local ads or pages to attract more Do-It-Yourselfer designs & inquiries!

We’ll also help you set up your own private Facebook Business Page to generate your own leads and teach you how to use Facebook Marketplace & Craigslist to keep yourself super busy talking to customers, designing their structures, and placing orders! You'll receive your own listing on our corporate website! We can help you with sales flyers and offer $100 off customer referral coupons for your friends and customers to pass around, earning them a 2% referral commission with our referral program!  At Tex Shed the goal is that you’ll never be “bored” waiting on a customer to drive on to our physical lot… We send corporate generated leads to every one of our reps, but more importantly, we teach you how to generate your own. Give a fish, and feed a man/woman for a day; or teach him/her to fish, feed them for life! With Tex Shed, we'll teach you to "fish" for customers so you can stay as busy as you want to be and make as much money as you’re willing to work for! Lead generation will never be a problem! Can you keep up with the amount of fresh leads we can provide?

9. FINANCING

We’ve spent several years putting together the right financing sources to help you sell FAR more buildings and structures than you might otherwise close from the CASH market. Although unfortunately we haven’t found any financing companies that actually PAY us for sending them business, we have sold MILLIONS in additional structurers by making it simple and easy for our customers to obtain outside funding for their project!

We have a strong relationship with RTO National for no-credit-check, rent-to-own financing on any metal structure up to $20,000. Its available in most states, and the online app is accessible right from the finance tab on our website! Processing is all electronic and the entire process is so easy. All four of our Portable Building manufacturers offer "in-house" rent-to-own financing which makes it super easy to sell portable buildings locally! (50-60 miles radius generally)

We offer direct financing from the Hearth Network also from our finance tab, with a 3 minute online “soft” application, where up to 20 banks compete to lend money to your customer, to in-turn buy a building or structure from you! 

Additionally, there’s HFS Financial in the menu, also with a quick and easy online App right from our website! HFS has funded hundreds of our clients allowing them to acquire buildings or larger structures than they otherwise might have intended. They’ll fund concrete pads, dirt prep, even swimming pool construction (no, we don’t offer that...yet – lol). We’re so grateful to have HFS in our basket of financial services. They help us sell a LOT more buildings! Even better, we don’t need to play banker and get buried in paperwork. Just send the client a link to the page (or just refer them to it), and let them begin the online app right there in just minutes.

Strong financing opportunities definitely enhance your ability to sell MORE, as well as larger commercial style buildings, earning huge paychecks for YOU!

10) Experience

Tex Shed is and will be your BEST resource in the industry through both expertise and support for you and your new business opportunity. We can’t promise riches, but riches are definitely available to those willing to put in the work. Success in any field takes commitment, work-ethic, and self-motivation. If you can provide that, we have the detailed knowledge and experience to help you navigate the complex problems that do occasionally arise in this business of marketing, designing, selling, and delivered portable buildings locally, installed steel buildings and structures across 46 states, and structural steel building kits across all 50 states and internationally!

When it comes to requirements like wind load certifications, snow load requirements, navigating difficult permitting, proper concrete slab installations or land prep, anchoring, site specific engineering and much more, we have much experience. Just like Farmers Insurance: We know a thing or two because we’ve seen a thing or two! More importantly, we have the rolodex of those who DO know even when we don’t.  We have close personal relationships with some of the most experienced builders in the industry, all across the nation. Several of them with as much as 30-35 years of experience. If we don’t know, we usually know who does, and will find out! We endeavor to provide whatever assistance you need to close the deal and create another satisfied customer. Sorry, but you won’t get this from most shed or carport companies directly. You’ll frankly be lucky if they answer your phone call at all. And you won't get this support or level of experience hanging out your own shingle as a lot dealer for some shed and/or carport company in your area.

Our commission structures starts at 25% payout of gross commissions earned (with an hourly base) with opportunities to earn up to as high as 75% commissions with your own branch office, based on gross sales volumes generated by you and your team. But we’re confident in the end, with our "system" and the independence provided by our network of over 40 factory partners nationwide, our financing resources, our national coverage, our technology, our marketing expertise, and the team building opportunities that we provide, you will in fact earn MUCH more in your pocket at the end of the day with the power & support of Tex Shed & American Steel Structures behind you!
