Wondering How to Sell Roofs More Efficiently? The right strategies can help you make 100k a year in roofing sales alone. 

Drawing from my experience speaking at every roofing convention imaginable, consulting with over 100 roofing companies, and personally knocking on more doors than I can count, I’m here to share three killer hacks to boost your roof selling game.

1. Embrace the Power of Retail and Storm Markets

Understanding the landscape of retail versus storm markets is crucial. If you’re in a post-storm area wondering if any roofs are left to sell or considering chasing the next big storm, pause there. You don’t need to be a storm chaser to sell roofs. It’s about shifting your mindset and recognizing that roofs always need replacing—you must get in front of the homeowners. Whether it’s retail or after the storm has passed, your focus should be on being proactive and making your presence known.

2. Cultivate a Meticulous Follow-Up Strategy

It’s not just about getting out there; it’s about how you handle your data and follow up. So you’ve done an inspection, and there’s minimal damage, or the homeowner wants to wait, so what’s next? It’s simple. You collect their information, store it meticulously in your CRM, and follow up. Systems like VanillaMessage.com and ActiveCampaign can be game-changers here. When a trigger event occurs, like a new storm or the homeowner’s situation changes, you’re the first one they think of because you’ve stayed on their radar.

3. Maximize Every Customer Through Referrals

Each customer you win should be an entry point to several more. At D2D University, I dive deep into a 10-step referral process that is a must for any roofer serious about scaling up. It’s about leveraging the relationships you’ve built to become the go-to roofing expert in your area. Don’t be shy—ask for those referrals every single time.
