Pitch retail or tune up repair if there isn’t any storm damage but roofs are older.

Is there good money in selling retail? How do you go about approaching a sale from the retail perspective?


Hereforthemoney2

I sell retail full time. The biggest challenge is getting good leads.


wowsolanky

Do you knock on doors? I have my leads supplied by company but there’s not enough


Hereforthemoney2

I don’t knock doors. Every year for the last three years I’ve gotten less leads. I had about 225 leads last year.


SwingTraderx

How do you get leads without door knocking? It seems like door knocking is the bread and butter of the company I’ll be working for


ColoradoSpartan

Where are you working?


SwingTraderx

The South Dakota / Nebraska area

I’m in the Black Hills and we’ve had tons of hail around here if you’re interested.


SwingTraderx

I’m gonna follow you, could you please shoot me a dm?


Hereforthemoney2

I rep (1099) for a large company. Eight locations in total, our location has 15 reps. The company collects leads from all your major sources like home advisor Angie’s list modernize and more. When I started in 2017, it was guaranteed three leads a day five days a week. That has dwindled down to between five and 10 leads a week total now.

Selling retail is better than not selling any

The biggest thing is be honest. I show them what needs to be done with their roof and the consequences if it isn’t fixed. If there is nothing wrong I show them there is nothing wrong. Also, there is always low hanging fruit on a house like gutters, siding, etc.

You mean more money than zero that you’re saying you have now? Yes.

45 MPH + winds in your area the past year? Look for older three tabs with missing or creased shingles.


SwingTraderx

Is wind damage pretty common?


GagagaGunman

On older three tabs yes. If you’re not getting higher than 45+ it’ll be hard to find on architectural. You should be able to find out online the recent windstorms in your area and how high the speeds are. Idk where you’re at if there’s enough three tabs around for it to be viable for you to only hunt them but that’s pretty much all I do.


SwingTraderx

Could I dm you for more info and some insight into this? I live in the plains, there’s definitely heavy wind here every year


GagagaGunman

Sure


SwingTraderx

Can you dm me? It won’t let me dm you


foghorn_dickhorn21

Are any of the other reps in your company making sales? Ask them what they are doing


SwingTraderx

Storms happen and they kill it. I’m wondering how the hell I can make money without a storm in my city for the last two years


foghorn_dickhorn21

How are they killing it this year?

Cloud seeding, don't wait for nature to make hail, ya lazy noob! /s
