Ice Breakers in D2D Roofing Sales (Even For Ugly Houses)

[@TheRoofStrategist]

What's your favorite ice breaker?

[@saluter87]

It’s true! I am a bit of a landscape enthusiast and use my knowledge of plant/tree species to disarm the natural defensive instinct when a customer answers the door. Even if I don’t win the Buisness that same day, I typically get my card placed on they’re refrigerator for when the day comes. Also have a colleague I recruited and trained from RV sales that can identify any motor home on the planet. Literally can strike a conversation with anyone who has what we call “disposable income” out front of they’re home. Without a sense of common interest, you might as well roll over to the production side of the Buisness because your it’s only a matter of time before getting your teeth kicked in at the door. Wise words of advice Adam!

I LOVE this, David!! Well said and thanks for sharing dude!

Woke up extra early to catch up on some of your videos and was so happy to see a new upload. I start day 1 of training as a brand new roof salesman today and I already have a notebook full of notes from your videos and training course. Thanks so much for the confidence, Adam!

[@MyMiccro]

Yep, starting today too!

[@jaybaker7870]

@@MyMiccro good luck, Mike! Crush it today.

[@TheRoofStrategist]

LOVE IT! SO pumped to see you using everything Jay. Welcome the industry and the channel. Hope you crush it and I'll be rooting for you dude.

Connecting authentically and finding ways to give genuine compliments is a nice tip. Thanks.

[@TheRoofStrategist]

You are very welcome!

I like simple Would You Rather's to people. Really appreciate the content you continually put out! FYI, I use your new company objection and got the job. That really helped me out when asked that tough question and the home owner really appreciated the response. Thank you for that!

[@TheRoofStrategist]

Love that! Thanks for sharing this. Also super appreciate you sharing the "Would you rather" approach!

[@agccanada]

Hey Adam, I've been knocking D2D but I often get homeowners telling me they're renters to get me off the porch when I know they're not renters. How do you approach this? Thanks again. Really enjoying working through the battle pack and sales training.

[@TheRoofStrategist]

Hey dude! Sorry for the slow response! Happy to help. Some people are just kindly rejecting you. If you want to get saucy - download OnX hunt or any of the apps that give you property owner data. You can knock and ask for the owner. If they respond to their name, you know they are lying :) Otherwise, consider it a kind rejection. Or gently lean into it -- "sometimes people tell me this just so I leave... can you shoot me straight? Are you truly renting?"

[@dicepapi3240]

I really appreciate your videos brother!!!

[@TheRoofStrategist]

My pleasure my dude. Stoked to have you here!

[@dreadknot8830]

So my very first day was today, I've been watching your videos the past few weeks and I almost landed the very first door I knocked. But he wanted to do solar panels so I wasn't able to close, the company I work subs solar panels so there's more to it. But I think I'll get the house it's just gonna take a little longer.

[@TheRoofStrategist]

Welcome!!! Next time you face that, sell the roof and let him shop solar separately. Best time to do solar is with a new roof :)
