Unpack the emotional barriers and shift your mindset towards selling with confidence. Asking for the sale is not being pushy if you understand why and when to do it!
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. This can be a difficult challenge to overcome because while many homeowners recognize they’re breaking the law, they see it as a “white lie” type of crime and think there’s zero chance of them ever getting caught.
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.
Building a successful business from the ground up requires resilience, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.

What are the images that come to mind when I say the word “salesperson”? How many of you would be quick to paint a negative picture by using unfavorable stereotypes such as “used car”, “slick”, “fast talker” or (worse) “liar”? If so, you better be careful because your negative perceptions may be affecting your sales effectiveness.
