Owens Corning Roofing introduces exclusive CCN Partnership Program

Practices, systems and processes designed to scale contractors’ businesses.

Owens Corning and the Certified Contractors Network (CCN) are partnering to help roofing and home improvement contractors scale their businesses and drive sustainable growth. The CCN Partnership Program is exclusive to Owens Corning Roofing Contractor Network (OCCN) members and includes one-on-one coaching, member roundtable discussions and targeted training to drive continuous improvement across the contractor’s business. Tailored to the roofing and home improvement industry, the CCN Partnership delivers best-in-class coaching designed to help improve performance in critical areas including business planning, operations, financial statements, sales management, marketing and more. 

The partnership provides OCCN members with unlimited access to a full-course curriculum at a deeply subsidized rate – 60% off the list price for the first year of membership. Curriculum modules help members transform their businesses by systematically improving systems and processes. Content addresses macro-issues, like lead-generation, that affect the entire enterprise, as well as specific functions, such as scheduling protocols and checklists. 

CCN Vice President Gary Cohen said that CCN helps contractors implement proven systems and processes designed to achieve revenue and net profit results. “Many members joined CCN with modest revenues and by fully engaging in our proven processes, have achieved robust sales with net profits of 15% to 20 %,” he said. Cohen added that CCN emphasizes frequency and continuous improvement, through a strategy that leverages coaching to keep members engaged. “We are thrilled about our partnership with Owens Corning. Our goal is to help Owens Corning Roofing Contractor Network members achieve measurable results in the first 90 days and then we systematically tackle each area of the business to further improve performance,” Cohen said. The strategy aims to help business owners focus on vision and strategy, as their teams cultivate the capabilities and confidence to manage different parts of the business. 

Jon Gardner, marketing leader, learning and development at Owens Corning, said, “Today’s roofing and home improvement contractor understands that investing in the health and sustainability of the business is critical to its success. We see this throughout the OCCN network, as many of our members are extensively leveraging the exclusive resources available to them through our program to help them achieve their goals. CCN’s unique blend of coaching, networking, training and consultation offers a proven environment to help with that, with over 25 years of experience and proven results. We are excited to make the CCN resources available to all OCCN contractors via this exclusive partnership and subsidy pricing.” 

In addition to education, the CCN Partnership Program provides members with access to digital roundtable discussions and limited tickets to three annual conferences. The full-course curriculum also includes National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) bootcamps, which award certificates of completion to participants successfully finishing each bootcamp.
