Tyler Melton’s journey in the competitive Dallas market is not just a story of financial success; it’s a testament to the winning roofing sales mindset that propels sales pros to their bottom lines.ย 

Hi,ย  I’m Sam Taggart, your guide through the world of door-to-door mastery, and today, I’m bringing you insights from a powerhouse in the industry, Tyler Melton, in a D2D podcast I did a while ago.ย 

Tylerโ€™s Inspiring Journeyย 

As we sat in sunny Los Angeles, California, Tyler shared his astonishing journey and the pivotal mindset shifts that propelled him from knocking on doors to breaking through ceilings in the roofing business.

With over $30 million in sales within four years, his story is impressive and a blueprint for transformation and triumph.

Tyler’s tale begins with a simple yet profound commitment to hustle and a refusal to accept defeat. From the onset of his career, he embraced a go-getter attitude, which became the cornerstone of his philosophy. His mantra? Knock doors for hours, outwork everyone, and always remember your goal.

From Debt to Dominance in Roofing Sales

Embarking on a business venture with a $50,000 debt hanging over his head, Tyler’s approach wasn’t clouded by negativity. Instead, he focused on the opportunities that lay ahead in roofing sales.ย 

His story illustrates that a positive attitude can propel you from debt to dominance, transforming financial hurdles into stepping stones for success in roofing sales.

Building Relationships, Not Just Roofs

Tyler emphasizes building solid relationships with crews and suppliers, especially when cash flow is challenging. Traits like nurturing trust and reliability reflect throughout his team, proving that success in roofing sales is not just about the product but also the people and partnerships you cultivate.

Cultivating a Sales Warrior’s Spirit

The harrowing experience of a sales rep who, after being shot on the job, displayed an astonishing eagerness to return to work underscores the warrior’s spirit that’s essential in roofing sales. This mindset doesn’t flinch in the face of adversity but instead sees every challenge as an opportunity to grow stronger and more committed to the craft of roofing sales.

Resilience in the Face of Adversity

Tyler’s narrative about his rep’s resilience provides a powerful takeaway for anyone in roofing sales: adversity is not the end of the road; it’s part of the journey. By embracing challenges with a warrior’s mindset, sales reps can overcome even the most daunting obstacles and return stronger.

Embracing the Numbers Game in Roofing Sales

Understanding that door-to-door sales are a numbers game is essential, and Tyler’s mindset revolves around this principle. He knows that consistently knocking on more doors and presenting value are vital strategies that will pay off.ย 

How to Make 100k in Roofing Sales: A Comprehensive Guide

Driving Home the Value in Roofing Sales

Tyler’s golden rule is: “Present value at the door.” He stresses that the mindset in selling roofing should be focused on something other than price but on the value delivered to the customer. By identifying problems and offering solutions, roofing sales professionals can ensure value takes center stage in every interaction.

The Key to Consistency: Mindset and Mentorship

Tyler attributes his rapid growth to his mindset and the mentorship he received. A consistent approach to sales, guided by experienced mentors, helps budding sales reps thrive in the roofing industry. This mindset of learning and consistency differentiates top performers in roofing sales.

Tyler’s advice to those braving the door-to-door battlefield?ย 

Don’t listen to anyone. Knock on 200 doors a day. Make sure your pitch is right and present value at the door.” He emphasizes the importance of identifying problems and solutions, offering value upfront, and ensuring that the price isn’t the focal point but the customer benefit.

Tylerโ€™s experiences remind us that the mindset is everything in door-to-door sales. It equips us to face rejections, navigate the unpredictable, and ultimately emerge victorious.

If you’re inspired by Tyler’s story and the unyielding mindset that drives success, remember that the journey of a thousand roofs begins with a single knock. Embrace the challenge, harness the power of a positive attitude, and build your empire, one door at a time.

I knocked doors since I was 11! Never bought into the whole hourly normal job, and used direct sales to be the vehicle to create MASSIVE success. I Started the Direct Sales division for Solcius as their VP building it up to have 70+ sales reps nation wide. In 2018 I left to pursue a greater mission to unify and uplevel the Door to Door industry and founded the D2D Experts.
