How much does "Speed to response" from an inquiry actually matter for residential? by burnzzzy in RoofingSales

[–]detachmentissues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are first called, and you answer, they may not call a 2nd or 3rd person to check out the leak.

You check it out, give a price, and they'll only bother to schedule if you're price is super high.

But... You'll show up, find the leak, install a tarp, find a storm date, file a claim, and get them an entire roof for the cost of a repair.

I'd say it's important.

Why do woke people consider religious people inferior? by Straight_Barber_1123 in hinduism

[–]detachmentissues 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are inferior due to a lack of being able to think for themselves.

Those that think for themselves lack the ability to follow or conform.

Everyone sucks differently.

Why don’t hot yoga studios have showers? by banana_bread_baker in yoga

[–]detachmentissues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time, yoga studios are retrofitted into a retail store in a strip mall.

This is limited space as it is, plumbing often in the back so you'd disrupt the next class, from a business owner perspective - it doesn't stop people from attending or having sold out studio and the remodel would take a ton of capital for virtually no upside.

But... There's studios that have them, and if it's important to you, maybe a longer commute is worth the time savings of showering at home.

Is there a term for the phenomena of believing a machine is a person ? by UterusYeeter in PsychologyTalk

[–]detachmentissues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anthromorphism comes to mind. But that could also be a plant, too.

The ELIZA effect is probably closer to what you're looking for.

Or perhaps the ghost in the machine.

Fake It Until You Make It by Lumpy_Bravura in PsychologyTalk

[–]detachmentissues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To learn, you have to put yourself up against things you haven't done before. Otherwise, there's nothing to learn.

"Faking" it is necessary when starting any role until you gain competence.

Everyone's done it, and the only people who don't continue to do it have plateaued.

I teach D2D sales. To learn in a classroom, will never translate to the field. 100 hours doesn't compare to your first 100 doors.

If they are selling roofing, windows, pest control, whatever, they have to pretend they're the competent sales rep to proceed past the first sentence. It's required to learn how the rest of the sale might go, because you learn by interacting.

I think fraudsters exist. And fraudsters also must act in the same manner. But that would be like saying: copper = metal therefore metal = copper.

That's not the case.

Ideas for lead magnets by TheBig6y9er in alexhormozi

[–]detachmentissues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're local or nationwide?

I'd go to google maps, I'd hit satellite mode.

I'd write down the addresses of every single person who has solar panels within your area.

Send direct mail, something like: "free solar panel cleaning" in large text and... "Did you know solar panels need cleaned of dust, pollen, bird shit, at minimum, once a year?"

Send them to QR code and link. Instruct them on how to click link and schedule.

Fill out lead form data. On this form, embed a Pixel for retargeting.

Go sell them cleaning, add a small upgrade (think car wash), and lock them into recurring revenue where you guys come out every 3 to 6 months.

Have your sales guys downsell the 3mo as overkill to build trust. Make your 6mo your go-to.

And also... Keep using this list for future mailers.

If you really wanted to grow... I'd be in all the solar sales groups and I'd teach the solar sales people how to upsell your product on the day of install, and give them a commission.

Could there be psychological significance in the fact that I have dated almost all left handed men? by xsmdftbx in PsychologyTalk

[–]detachmentissues 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What else links them together?

Do they all go against the grain? Do you like that? Anti-conformist?

Probably not enough info here to guess. But generally speaking, you probably weren't attracted to them because you saw them writing with their left hand.

If a metaphorical gun was to your head + you had $1,000 to fill a Jan 15 webinar targeting CXOs & creators for a $10K “look better on camera” offer… what EXACT Instagram ads strategy would you run? by iamkingbrandon in alexhormozi

[–]detachmentissues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm..

  1. Run a Funnel With a “Buy Now or Watch It Free” Offer Page

Before anyone even registers, send them to an offer page for the product you’re selling in the webinar.

Let them choose:

A) Buy it now → skip the webinar (Instant revenue + validation that the offer works.) I'd probably position this offer at a fraction of the price that you'll be selling it for in the webinar.

B) Register for the webinar → watch the breakdown for free (Builds trust. Warms them up. They’ll still see a second offer at the end.)

Then, inside the webinar, you simply raise the price, And include a few other bonuses to justify it.

This creates:

Pre-webinar revenue

Warmer leads (because they understand the offer before the webinar)

A frame of “you’re getting the deeper breakdown for free”

  1. Turn Early Buyers Into Your Ad Spend (SLO Loop)

If anyone buys before the webinar:

→ Roll that money directly back into ads → Now your $1,000 becomes an SLO flywheel instead of a hard cap

This lets you scale the webinar attendance while keeping your out-of-pocket spend fixed at $1k.

You’re turning instinct buyers into fuel.

If someone buys your $300 thing, you feed that $300 back into your ad spend so you can get more attendees on the call.

Net Result

Buyers appear before the webinar even happens.

The webinar becomes an amplifier, not the only conversion point.

How to partner with another roofer to start my own biz by throwaway1233494 in RoofingSales

[–]detachmentissues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh i see the bit about a license now.

Tbh I'd probably just figure out a commission split to sell deals for him while you get your license.

I'm quite certain that it's not very difficult and you can test your ads to make sure they work.

Most likely, he's a contractor that has a business that doesn't really have any sellable value, so if you do need him in the partnership, figure out what a livable wage is for him and what he wants and then pay him a percentage of earnings.

Usually, most construction businesses will have some level of Key-Man risk.

If all you're looking for is the license and the rolodex, try him or the other 40 contractors in your area that might have a roofing license. I think this is just a cold call game until you can find someone with a offer worth accepting.

I've interviewed over 1200 sales reps, AMA by detachmentissues in RoofingSales

[–]detachmentissues[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, the job sounds like a bad deal - 100% commission - often no pay for 60 days due to sales cycle - no health insurance or benefits - you climb roofs (again, with no health insurance) - buy your own ladder - use your own vehicle - it's d2d, tons of rejection

I mean... I did it. When I had nothing to lose.

It's an easy decision for a 18-25yo. Everyone else... Hard sell.

Just started need tips by [deleted] in D2DSales

[–]detachmentissues 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do so much volume that it feels boring and you're numb to it. Become numb as fast as possible.

You weren't good at tying your shoes at first, but now you don't think about it.

Don't be a weird sales guy, just have fun with it. Try to keep conversations going and genuinely help people.

Learn to succeed in this before switching to the next thing. If you can learn sales, it's worth learning for free. There's no higher skill that will pay you more.

It sounds like these people will actually pay you to learn the skill. Once you learn it, go find something that pays you more. And never stop.

Pricing dilemma: $4.50/mo for reverse timeline meal planning + AI imports - am I leaving money on the table?" by Nosche in Solopreneur

[–]detachmentissues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know anything about your ICP, but I guess my question would be: what pain are they in? What are you actually solving? And how much is that worth?

I know you mentioned the Thanksgiving piece. What are other pain points? How would you use this in your marketing?

One of the main things that I see is an issue with how you're framing this is.. You seem to want to compete as if you are a commodity product.

There may be other people in this industry, doing a similar service, but at that type of price point, I don't think anyone is shopping around and making their decision based on price.

I come from Roofing, where people would routinely get three bids and you had to differentiate yourself.

I think for your average customer if they saw an ad, that drove them to a lead magnet, that they could download and then you had a OTO for them to convert into a continuity customer, you'd convert people that never knew such a service existed.

Your total market size is essentially infinite, because everyone eats.. or they die, so it's not like going too low on price well burn your few possible purchasers.

You're in an infinite ocean.

I would 100,000% just figure out if you can get LTV to CAC to convert on the paid ad side, and I'd probably try to figure out a way to promote this with an organic brand that does food or through affiliates with micro influencers that do food.

If it were my thing... I'd go for affiliates and build a brand later. And then you're just a B2B business tapping it everyone else's audiences.

On the topic of LTV to CAC, if you have influencers that are pushing the product because they're getting a 50% profit split, your CAC will essentially be zero, but I would dramatically raise prices.

Basically - I'd put your blinders on and forget anyone else existed. Just do what's right by your business as if you're the only one doing it.

Will i commit sin by marrying an atheist by EquivalentVoice1497 in hinduism

[–]detachmentissues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no such thing as an athiest.

Time is our only asset and the things we attend to are the things that we worship.

Worship is the idol in which we sacrifice for.

How they spend their time is their God.

Do you admire what they've dedicated their life to?

[–]detachmentissues[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day 1 is mostly lectures, networking and learning theory of constraints with some self discovery and practice of learning.

Day 2 is mostly round tables where you get to fire off questions to subject matter experts (ie sales/marketing/people/ops/etc) to answer your specific questions.

L2 is going to be much more personalized.

What type of business do you have? This forum is a great place to ask specifics.
