SANDLER TRAINING CREATES A CULTURE HOW GASPAR’S USED PROVEN METHODS TO TRANSFORM THEIR BUSINESS
When Sarah Henry took over her family’s design-build firm, Gaspar’s, she was confronted with this harsh reality. She required a solution fast, and that solution was Sandler Training.
GASPAR’S ORIGINS
Sarah’s father, Rich Gaspar, started Gaspar’s in 1974 as a single operator. After 10 years of quality production, Sarah’s mother joined the firm as a designer. This would launch Gaspar’s from being a traditional contracting firm to a design-build firm. With a design-build firm, you hire a single company to do both the design of your home, exterior and interior architecture, and the building of the project. It creates a one-stop-shop experience for home seekers who want to build a custom house. For the first 30 years of the business, Gaspar’s was run out of the basement of the family’s home. In 2002, when the firm had about 10 employees, Sarah left her career in HR and decided to join the family business. Soon, the company left the basement and moved to a new office space.
When businesses go through a transition in ownership, there are bound to be hurdles. When family is involved, those hurdles can quickly turn into ditches.
