Almost Quitting to $800,000 in Sales in His First 2 Months | Real Talk w/ Roofing Sales Rep Carl E.

[@alexlegaspy2641]

Just started my journey in roofing assessment cold calls and I feel this guy 100%. Things haven't been going my way almost quit, yet slowly but surely learning/gaining so much more in the process.. Things you'd never expect would come with the opportunity. The art of communication is everything. Hone your skills and persevere. Keep practicing, keep learning & keep improving. 💪

Alexander, thank you for the comment my dude. Real talk, right? It ain't always rainbows and sunshine in this industry. I am glad to hear that Carl's story resonates with you. Let it be a reminder for each of us to stay persistent, focus on SERVICE, and work through our own inner demons. Good luck out there and comment on any videos. I read and reply to all of them.

I've just started roofing sales and the company I'm with is newer. So all my leads are cold knocks...I just drive around and talk to people and go door to door. I don't have much trouble with talking to people and not having any leads. I think it's a matter of perspective, compared to what I did in the military, getting a door shut in my face is INFINITELY easier and less stressful. Most people I talk to are actually very pleasant or at the very least, polite. Looking forward to seeing how far I can go.

Welcome to the industry my dude! Glad to have you here and appreciate the comment. If you ever have any questions, drop a comment on any video - I read and reply to all of them (the constructive ones). Hope you crush it out there!

Bravo to Adam for letting him tell his story- a good story (and i mean big bravo - Adams's a talker":)

[@mrstyle_67]

Great video I needed that today!

[@TheRoofStrategist]

Pumped to hear that, Robert. This industry has lots of up and downs (as you know). I'm sure Carl will be pumped to hear that he inspired you!

Knocking a build helps get out of the truck I like having a reason to be there.

[@TheRoofStrategist]

🙌 PREACH! 🙌 It makes it easy :)

[@bostonvigeant2476]

True but if you can knock COLD you can generate an unlimited client base. Face rejection head on my friend

[@TheRoofStrategist]

@@bostonvigeant2476 Fundamentally agree 100%! For many getting started, it takes time to build the confidence and comfort. So starting there helps a ton. Also, I believe that working the neighborhood AND the key stages of the customer experience allows you to "knock with a reason" to be there - so it makes it easier, more effective, and helps you take over the neighborhood :)

Another great episode... Thanks for sharing.

[@TheRoofStrategist]

You bet, Casey! Thanks for the feedback. I'm sure this also means a lot to Carl :)

[@charlescarter2659]

Amazing story thanks for sharing always

[@TheRoofStrategist]

💪 Thank you Charles! Carl is the real one to thank here. I really admire his willingness to have "real talk" and discuss the deeper, darker, and real issues we've all faced or can relate to. Glad it was helpful!

[@stevenl5652]

Hope I have similar luck/story soon. I run a small biz I hope to close.

[@TheRoofStrategist]

🙏 YOU'VE GOT THIS! 💪

[@tglovermonarch]

Great video.

[@TheRoofStrategist]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment and feedback!

[@maysonmadden6006]

Actually working in the same market at Carl. I'll definitely be saying hi if I see him driving around. This was probably my favorite video so far.

[@TheRoofStrategist]

Small world, Mayson! Glad it was your favorite so far! That's awesome. Appreciate the comment man - so does Carl I'm sure!

[@scottmichaelbeech4427]

I like Carl's story, but if I was a homeowner in his area, I would kick him out of my house just for saying 'you know' wayyy too much.

Adam!! What happens when total rcv is paid up front and and homeowner gets work done for less amount than paid??? Please help (dfw, TX)

[@TheRoofStrategist]

GREAT question my dude. I've done a couple videos on this topic. Start with this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX6YpGRoatKtbdE -- The big thing to focus on is protecting the homeowner from surprises. Just because they got paid full RCV up front doesn't mean the scope is right. And there still could be things that come up. I sold a retail job once. It was a small $7k roof. We tore into it -- it turned out to be 3 layers (I was a rookie and missed it - so did the adjuster - so did the crew at first because it was so well covered up). 2 Layers of shingles over wood shake. Needed a full re-deck. It 2x'd the price of the project. Homeowner quickly tells me that it's an insurance claim and asked if I could help. Of course I did! I supplemented for it and saved the homeowner thousands (an additional $7k). My point is this -- educate the homeowner using this approach and telling stories :) I also cover this in great detail in my CLOSING Strategy should you be interested. Hope this helps my dude!

[@davidsaitta6351]

IMO: a) they always under pay b) they might pay early and fast to get last months/year's Xact pricing and to close the claim asap. c) if you're asking if that's legal - sure, as long as the HO is satisfied with the work and proves to the carrier it's done (if they ever need to file another claim with the same carrier on those finished items - they'll need to prove this) and if your "really" asking if that "done for less contractor" is/was you - sure, legal also (IMO) as long as you're not trying to supplement after the job for "more than you charged them"... legal. But i'm no lawyer either:).

[@charlescarter2659]

Adam, I know your busy, can you give me your personal email. I would like to ask a few questions, if you can't I totally understand.

[@TheRoofStrategist]

Hey Charles, fire away: adam (at) roofstrategist.com Happy to help.

[@cactu5jack]

Eff this. I wanna quit fr

[@dizzy0187]

How is the job going for you now

[@bigd4kenergy65]

Quit roofing sales or quit to start roofing sales?

[@davidsaitta6351]

news flash - we all do at one or many points.....

[@cactu5jack]

@@dizzy0187 lmfao I quit that dumb shit. I did some... unconventional things, racked up $20k and started a lead generation agency. So now I sell leads to roofers and water damage restoration companies. I also considered solar installation but the demand isn't high enough. The money is 100× better, the sales are soooo much easier, and I can travel the world while running the business from a smartphone and tablet/laptop. But if you enjoy pounding the pavement and grinding, more power to you. I rather do something more efficient and rewarding
