WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Most contractors agree that selling a storm-restoration project requires a different approach than what would typically be used to sell a retail project. While this may be true, the sales-person should not allow their focus on the insurance-claim process to forgo the critical elements that drive sales in a non-storm environment.

SELLING THE STORM dramatically improves results by taking the most powerful strategies from "retail selling" and merging them into a powerful insurance-restoration sales system. As a participant, you will learn practical, proven, and ready-to-use strategies that are designed to help you collect the insurance deductible, decrease cancellations, and improve profits through upselling.

TOPICS COVERED

The Art of The Door Knock:

  • Learn to develop trust, credibility, and rapport to earn the “trusted advisor” status that will help you get the opportunity to review the homeowner’s project.

  • Learn how to better present yourself and overcome the objections that come with hard-wired door knocking.

  • The framework for developing a powerful contractor-based sales process and how to motivate your homeowner to take the next step.

  • Asking the Commitment Question that sets the table & gains control over the sales appointment, and compels your prospect to sign it.

Winning the Adjuster Battle:

  • Managing the homeowner’s expectation at the adjuster meeting — and using your roof inspection to get them on your side.

  • How to put the adjuster on “defense” and maintain a productive dialogue with minimal financial disagreement.

  • Learn how to overcome common [adjuster] objections like "No damage," "It’s wear and tear," or "We’ll only pay for half the roof."

  • Powerful inspection and presentation tools, including inspection forms, commonly-missed line items, and games the insurance company plays to lower the cost of repair.

Upselling & Collecting the Deductible:

  • Setting the table to upsell and using financing where needed to help your prospect get the best roof system for their home.

  • Tips to overcome the deductible objection early in the way of closing the sale.
