Roofing Sales Tip: Pre-Qualify Before You Drive
One mistake newer reps make is running every appointment without pre-qualifying the homeowner first. That leads to wasted drive time, low close rates, and homeowners who were never serious. Before you confirm the inspection, ask a few simple questions. Basic Pre-Qualifying Questions: - Are you the homeowner? - How old is the roof? - Have you noticed leaks or damage? - Have you filed or considered filing an insurance claim? - Are you looking to repair or replace the roof? - When are you hoping to get the work done? These questions do three things: 1. Confirm theyβre a real decision maker 2. Give you context before you arrive 3. Increase your close rate because you walk in prepared Youβre not interrogating them β youβre making sure the inspection is actually worth both of your time. The best reps donβt just run more appointments. They run better appointments.
