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.
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.

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