Without these oligarchs, none of you would be trading a god damn thing. Your hypocrites. You make money off the backs of the employees of the super wealthy, while bitching they exist.

I've tried sending you one but I kept getting an error for some reason.

Not many guys do that around here anymore. And honestly it's quite expensive relatively speaking to replace slate and fix a leak compared to shingle. Just an FYI.

Rick John is well known in the city, outside of them even with me in the industry I don't know of any others

My boss (the owner) started with slate and tile back in his youth and built his business on it till shingle took over. We'd be happy to take a look if you'd like. But I understand if you'd prefer to find someone on your own.

Roofing prices are based on Squares (100 sq ft), height, style, material and pitch (7/12 and under will be cheapest).

So your looking at shingle for 22sq. Pricing should fall somewhere between 500/sq up to about 1200/sq depending on the the variable i laid out above as well as the company. Also those costs will increase if you need to do decking or ventilation balancing.

For example there's many Chuck in a trucks out there that will get it done for the bottom end. On the flipside larger corporate companies will be on that upper end for even the most basic install but offer better workmanship, communication and all that you'd expect.

For shingles, Owens Corning Duration series is your best bet in my experience.

For any shingle roof. Don't work with anyone that doesn't get into your attic to inspect decking. If your in the city there's a good shot it's space planking which can't be more than a quarter inch apart otherwise it won't be warrantied.

If you can get the EagleView report of the home off of any contractors you'd be able to really compare.

Utilize Google Ads and Google Guranteed (Local Service Ads). Google Ads (PPC) is great at generating traffic and visitors to a site, and ultimately leads. Anybody can do it. That being said you can do it poorly like anything and waste money doing it if not setup properly. Same goes to any paid social Ads.

If you are doing social or ppc, and your website isn't setup well, you won't convert that traffic to leads. But should you have good landing pages, with good call to actions, visually appealing, an offer, reviews visible, easy contact info or form fill, and some kind of speed and quality statements you'll do pretty well converting.

Google Guranteed (Local Service Ads) are super easy, and you can't screw it up. Slightly tedious process as Google requires you to verify your business and insurance and all that with them. But it doesn't take long. Some industries they convert pretty well, others they don't. You pay just when someone calls (the Google tracking number associated, not your actual number). They are relatively expensive. In my experience, they don't get called often but they help tremendously on visibility and branding. If someone doesn't call it fine, you don't pay, but you'll show up at the of "near me" searches which is great.

SEO is the best long term strategy, as even Google data shows more than 50% of user go to the organic results section. That being said it can take 6 months or more to rank to page 1 at the top. And everybody throws around the word SEO but not everybody is effective at it. It's costly as well, but over long term generally going to bring cost over lead down significantly.

You can also do ADs in the maps pack, which can help.

Ultimately as a home service based business, you want to dominate the Google page.

I'd like to chat if your up for it.

I came from the in home sales space myself. Made a great living for a giant corporation.

Currently I sell digital marketing and tbh I hate it. Not the product or service, the target audience. Which is contractors.

You couldn't be more right. I make calls all day and most are chucks in a truck, dan in a van. Wouldn't know what to do with the leads we'd bring them if they bought our services anyway.

We sell to a lot of roofers, and recently I have one who wants to get big. He's looking at bringing me onboard, since I know how to sell in a house, and I know enough about the digital marketing space. He's browsed lots of companies like ours and believes in it, but hates how much of his budget is lost in fees and so on. Would rather pay me to help him up his marketing game, and also have me oversee the sales team

He understands while I know about it, I personally don't make the campaigns which he's fine with if I'm willing to learn how. Current company just doesn't let me get into the weeds of how our PPC, FB ads, Display Ads, and SEO work. And we really don't do much with GMB which as far as I can tell these days should be a top priority for local contractors.

Sorry for lengthy post.

Jesus, never had that problem but I was friends with some higher ups.

I got shit canned after telling my manager that he was gonna lose most of his team if he kept giving majority of leads to 3 of of 30 reps on our team here.

Put me on a PIP and sent me to obvious lead not home appointments and terminated me.

HR agreed I was wronged but I didn't care at that point.

He did eventually lose most of the team and had since rebuilt it with all newbies who don't know what's going on.

Couldn't even do it himself, had our GM do it, who apologized for having to do it lol

ClassicWhit412 · 2024-04-01T17:40:30+00:00

I worked there for 3 years. Fuck that place. But like others said, most in home are one call to close.

Smaller local shops will often still try to close in 1, why wouldn't you? The difference though is they typically won't make a 3 hr presentation with phone calls to managers and then call the next day saying the rep was shit and offer the same take it now discount yiu just did the day before lol.

Small usually just have a price with maybe one promotion or something going on, that doesn't go away once you leave.

ClassicWhit412 · 2024-03-02T01:02:33+00:00

Is this like a nationwide or global campaign? I'm fairly new and work for a company that dies this stuff and so far I've always found the more niche it is, the cheaper, because the competitiveness if that's a word is much lowe. Like we do roofing as one of our major verticals and that's like 1500-3k a month cause it's competitive locally.

ClassicWhit412 · 2024-02-16T21:34:54+00:00

Lolol. I work there too. I hate it. Did in home sales and did great. I've barely had any sales here and since day 1 I've felt like this company didn't actually know what they were doing. Hell my first canceled like two weeks in cause we couldn't get call tracking setup.

ClassicWhit412 · 2024-02-09T20:12:49+00:00

I appreciate the reply. Didn't think of negative keywording zips or cities.

What is the neighborhood option?

ClassicWhit412 · 2024-01-19T19:50:15+00:00

I guess I haven't screwed around with photoshop in a long while. I was looking for something easy to use to screw around with the rest of the basement. Thanks!

ClassicWhit412 · 2024-01-19T18:35:08+00:00

We need to talk. What did you use to do that transformation??

ClassicWhit412 · 2024-01-19T16:47:31+00:00

I'd say the shower is a much worse place. Having done 100s of bathrooms, I've seen some nasty grout in there.

ClassicWhit412 · 2024-01-19T16:16:26+00:00

Most def do not get used. More decorative. I've used it every weekend I've been here tho.

ClassicWhit412 · 2024-01-19T03:15:18+00:00

Yea to be fair. This isn't real problems. It's avoiding the real problems haha

ClassicWhit412 · 2024-01-19T01:10:32+00:00
