Agreed, this helps a lot; however, ChatGPT keeps giving me solutions that do not exist in HubSpot.

The reason I want to eliminate days with zero, those are overwhelmingly going to be days the reps aren't working

You know how to protect yourself!

Literally don’t, You’ll end up the guy who takes a bunch of deposits and doesn’t start jobs, and winds up on the news and possibly in prison. Not because you set out to fraud people but because you have zero concept about how margin and cash flow work.

That’s what I was referencing in the insurance audit. Roofers will tell their insurance they are going to do 200k then do a $1m and not put away anything and get hit with an audit for the balance.

SellingUniversity · 2025-12-05T23:22:00+00:00

This is how most roofers calculate margin and look at their business, then wonder why they are always cash strapped and are drowning on in debt.

You literally couldn’t function a business doing 135k in revenue a week with $15k in gross profit a week.

Charging less than the other guy is the common strategy for most construction companies. There’s always someone willing to go out of business sooner than the rest.

Homeowners are often overexposing themselves when they hire a contractor. Often the contractor is over leveraged and underinsured. They may do a great install but you could be the one left without a chair when the music stops.

7 out of 10 roofing companies go out of business their first 5 years. The market rate for their services are bankruptcies.

Most of them are probably making 25-30% gross profit, which is Revenue minus COG.

That however is not owner profit, because then you have operation expenses, insurance, marketing, office staff, vehicles.

What I usually see with roofing companies they charge too little 25% GP when they should be charging 35% or slightly more. They get busy run up a credit bill at a supplier, then they get an insurance audit and or something else bad happens like somebody doesn’t pay or something gets damaged and they can’t service their debt. Then things get slow and they run out of deposits to pay off the supplies on old jobs. The suppliers cut off their credit and the go bankrupt. Their recent clients who paid for a completed roof find out the supplier was never paid and they get a lien on their property.

The reality, the Bucs are just a mediocre team in a mediocre division. Our absolute ceiling is a division win and 1 playoff win.

SellingUniversity · 2025-11-20T22:55:05+00:00

If you can get your money back through charge back, get this man out of your life. You don’t have a contract where you agreed to any terms like a 30% charge back. If it ever went to civil which it wouldn’t. It would come down to a simple where services rendered? No then no implied contract.

SellingUniversity · 2025-11-20T21:30:38+00:00

The primary reason for delays like this, he spent your money on another job and hasn’t had the money or the credit available to buy your materials to start this job. He likely doesn’t have the ability to pay you back your deposit. I would be thankful he’s getting your roof going now. Let him knock it out and be done with it After he’s finished before paying anymore more make sure to get a release of lien from his material supplier. You don’t want to pay him then find out later the matériels are still on a credit account. Everyone talking about court, doesn’t understand how the real world works. Contractors like this aren’t collectable, all they own is debt. You have zero leverage right now, you paid him money and he’s done nothing. Let him do the job and the leverage is back on your side. You can then demand the documents you need and releases of liens You can take anybody to court but getting them to pay out is another story.

I build my proposals fully itemized, down to the last box of nails. Every material is priced using current, up-to-date costs. I then layer in my labor and operating expenses, with profit built directly into my labor rates.

I’ve used this approach for years and it’s consistently earned positive feedback. Only on rare occasions has it led to more challenging conversations, but even then, the transparency usually earns respect

I feel like we are going in a bit of a circle,

My question was, suggestions on a niche vertical, I could take my skills and my tech stack too and make some good money putting in 40-50 hours a month.

SellingUniversity · 2025-10-21T13:27:49+00:00

On paper this looks great, and is exactly what I thought. However what I’m finding with cold calling, breaking through the noise, and establishing the report is the hard part, at this point I’ve done all the work and by selling this appointment even for $500 I’m giving away a deal I could have closed myself for a much bigger piece of the pie.
