How to Practice Roofing Sales Objections Without Burning Leads
December 5, 2025 · Tim Nussbeck

Your newest rep just burned through 32 leads in two weeks. Zero closes. The homeowners said "we're getting other quotes" and "your price is too high" and "we need to think about it." Your rep froze every single time. Now those leads are dead, those territories are poisoned, and you're out $640 in lead costs plus the revenue those deals could have generated. This is the hidden cost nobody talks about: new reps learning on live ammunition. They practice objection handling by blowing real appointm

December 5, 2025 · Tim Nussbeck

Your rep just spent 90 minutes at a kitchen table. The homeowner loves everything - GAF Timberline HDZ in Charcoal, ice and water shield upgrade, new valley flashing. Total: $18,400. Then comes the line that kills 60% of deals: "We need to think about it." Translation? They can't afford it right now. Most reps walk away here. They'll say something like "totally understand, take your time" and mark it "thinking about it" in the CRM, knowing they're never hearing from these people again. The rep

December 5, 2025 · Tim Nussbeck

Virtual roofing sales appointments aren't the future—they're the present. The pandemic forced the industry to adapt, and contractors who figured it out discovered something unexpected: virtual appointments can be just as effective as in-person visits, with one massive advantage—you can do three times as many in a day. But here's what most guides won't tell you: there's a right way and a wrong way to sell roofing virtually. Get it wrong, and homeowners feel like they're watching a bad YouTube vi

How to Build a Custom AI Roofing Sales Training Program That Actually Works
December 5, 2025 · Tim Nussbeck

Your new rep just finished three weeks of generic sales training. He learned the "consultative selling framework" and practiced "SPIN questioning techniques." Then he shows up to his first appointment and the homeowner asks: "Do you guys offer GreenSky financing or just Mosaic?" He has no idea. The training never covered YOUR financing partners. Here's the problem: Most roofing sales training teaches "a" sales process, not YOUR sales process. Reps learn one way in training, then get told to d

How Long Does It REALLY Take to Train a Roofing Sales Rep? (The Truth)
December 5, 2025 · Tim Nussbeck

You just hired a rep who seems promising. Your regional manager asks: "When will they be ready?" You hesitate. "Maybe... six weeks? Eight?" Wrong answer. You just set yourself up for disappointment, premature firing, or watching a decent hire quit because they feel incompetent. THE HONEST ANSWER: Traditional training produces first sales in 30-90 days. Full productivity takes 6-12 months. Anyone promising faster results with traditional methods is lying or has never actually trained a rep. T
