Andrew Barnes – Metal America

Andrew Barnes

Sales Development Representative

Andrew brings a combination of strategic thinking and genuine personal connection to his role at Metal America. A University of Maryland graduate with a degree in Government & Politics, Andrew’s educational background gives him a unique perspective on business development and customer relationships. His previous experience in both insurance and media sales has equipped him with versatile skills that serve him well in the metal building industry.

Andrew’s decision to join Metal America reflects his forward-thinking business instincts. He explains his motivation as “a strong belief in Metal America (fastest growing construction company in the U.S.!), and wanted to be a part of a future in which they rapidly grow and consolidate market share.” This vision for the company’s potential demonstrates his ability to recognize and align himself with promising opportunities in the construction sector.

In his approach to sales, Andrew prioritizes authentic human connection above all. “By far, the most important is the ability to connect to a client, and put both parties in a position to feel like you are doing them a service,” he explains when discussing essential qualities in sales. This philosophy creates a consultative experience where customers feel understood and valued rather than merely sold to.

Maintaining a balanced lifestyle is important to Andrew, who stays active outside of work hours. He shares that “I read, work out five days a week, run a few races a year, and am an avid sports fan (big Mets fan).” This commitment to physical fitness and intellectual pursuits reflects the discipline and enthusiasm he brings to his professional responsibilities at Metal America.

Andrew’s life has included some remarkable experiences that reveal his diverse interests and adaptability. As someone who “was an extra in the movie ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ and once played poker with Morgan Freeman,” he brings fascinating perspectives and stories to his interactions with clients. These unique experiences contribute to his ability to engage with customers from all walks of life, making the process of purchasing a metal building more personable and memorable.
