Agreed..
I fired a roofer because he would take 3 days to return a phone call prior to the job…wondering how long will he take to return my call AFTER the job, Also, never was concerned about my concerns such as putting up shingles in the middle of winter in 15 degree weathe….he thought I didnt do research..LESSON TO CONTRACTORS…some homeowners are educated and did their research…Fired before I even signed anything.
why did you sell your roofing business
Will explain on Tuesday in details
Business must have balance!!
yes sir! if out balance disproportionally it will start shaking and collapse!
It was a wild ride. There were glaring blind spots looking back.
Not selling comp is the most important goal in roofing.
You’re saying teamwork in business is important? Isn’t it all about promoting the individual today?
Don’t agree. We have have spokesperson but it’s always about team work
Great advice thank you
I watched the documentary a few days ago on LTPF. Great observations Dmitri.
I was also struck by the focus on the sales guys, and not the crews doing the work.
For most homeowners, their house is the largest asset they own.
Our job is to help them improve that asset on every project, no matter how big or small.
The crews didn’t do the work is why they failed.
What is LTPF? I’d like to see the documentary but the link below video doesn’t work. Would you help?
Confessions was a Very informative documentary , good observations Dmitry !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Becca Switzer says construction is a sales driven organization, I have to agree with her (as a salesman) lol
Numbers don’t lie. Those who think Sales are everything are usually sales coaches or sales people. Production manager will say construction is production driven organization. One needs another.
@Dmitry Lipinskiy those are good points but isn’t sales all about numbers? TBH the owner of my company is happy to let me sell jobs for a loss to try and drum up business, but I can’t bring myself to do it and I think it’s a dangerous tactic
Great video!
Huge props to Roofing Insights for the real value they bring to the roofing industry. So much to be learned from their content. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for feedback! We have reached out to Roof Maxx many times to interview your founder and to do your story and for some reason Roof Maxx never collaborated. Maybe we were reaching wrong people?
@Dmitry Lipinskiy I apologize for that. I’ll get this to the right person. Who should we contact to schedule a meeting?
You can contact me directly: 612-558-4881, Dmitry
@Dmitry Lipinskiy Thanks Dmitry, I’ll pass your contact info along.
Your are The best Dimitry Thank you for all the Info. Customer service its First
Dmitry you know who’s “worth” more than 20% in the biz, the mf owner baby!! You can fire everybody except the one that writes the checks 🙂 & damn you thru some boys under the bus lmfao
These videos of the Able failure are not very specific on the post sales process and production issues that caused their collapse. Able seems to be using these explanation videos to promote their new Media Co. and Conference Seminar business. Able failed so now they’re qualified to teach you how to succeed? How does that calculate?
If you have a mind set that all your workers are replaceable your basically saying you don’t care for them so there for your quality of work must be bad you have a bad mind set I’m surprised you still have people working for you
The Facebook page (still posted) is a bonfire of vulgarity that has not aged well. They must have found some followers who are also culpable.
Love your videos man such well done work.
