About this item
From the fitting rooms of fashion retail to the front porches of new homes, this is the untold story of how one man bridged two industries and reshaped both.
Dennis Webb’s career began selling suits at a department store in Southern California. Over the decades, he climbed the ranks through iconic retailers like Silverwoods and Eagleson’s Big & Tall, learning timeless lessons in operations, merchandising, and customer service. But it wasn’t until he crossed into the world of homebuilding that those principles found their most surprising—and profitable—expression.
Part memoir, part business playbook, From Blue Suits to Green Homes is an insider’s account of how retail wisdom transformed Fulton Homes into one of the most successful privately held builders in the country. Packed with engaging anecdotes—from retail floor hacks to boardroom showdowns—and practical insights into sales, technology, customer experience, and leadership, this book is an essential read for professionals across both industries.
Whether you’re building homes, managing stores, or simply building your career, Webb’s journey proves that no experience is ever wasted—and that sometimes, the best way to grow is to cross an unexpected bridge.
