Are You Guilty?
Have you ever been on a sales call and decided to bid the project at a higher price because you knew the homeowner was going to drive you crazy?

Winning the Deductible Game
If you’ve been a storm-restoration contractor for more than a day, you’ve likely come up against unscrupulous contractors who compete on the promise of waiving or eating deductibles.

Giving your clients options is an excellent way to differentiate yourself and get your clients emotionally invested in their project. Rather than offering one size fits-all type of roofing system, I would strongly suggest contractors educate their prospects on the different options available to them and letting them choose the options that best supports their vision for the project.
