What is it you can do to battle Stormers ????

Rock there is a lot of resistance to this. As you can see their are comments made to distract. Perseverance is the key. Maybe some will see the light. Just to correct the comment thrown at me with the charge I am for snake oil lousy workmanship and screw the community and the people in them " Chucky likes stormers" totally untrue. I do not advocate anyone who has that sort of work ethic Local or stormer. There will be a lot of distraction on this subject. Getting into a neighborhood immediately after an event for the local guys should be easier than stormers. Setting up an information campaigne, A canned message readily available for the media from the local contractor. B) :) :) B) Deep Down In Florida Where The Sun Shines Damn Near Every Day

Weve had many storms and many stormers come thru here, most are a joke and the public has realized it.Im of the opinion hire me if you want a warranty and to have your roof installed correctly.Chucky likes stormers,he thinks thier impressive.Snake oil salesmen have been around a long time and thats all they are.

Sugar thier tanks,slash thier tires! :laugh:

We hired 8 of them in 2010. They cried everyone else pays 5-50-50 or 10-50-50 splits. we wouldn,t budge, they came around, 7 of them were with us 6 months and then leads and referrals started thinning and they started looking for the next storm. we had 2 they stay 10 months. If they sold full boat they got paid 12% and then a sliding scale down to 5%. Most of then stayed happy and got commission checks months later as we mailed to their real home. We took taxes paid comp. We had some companies that tried to hook us and use our license, but the law caught them pretty quick. Stay away from those splits.

I would have thought this post would have drawn more attention, as it is the season. I see Soldierboy pulled up an old post.

Is it possible to create a sales force that is temporary? A strategy for getting into the communities and making first contact would be another concern. Usually after and event the police set up check points fairly quickly. Purchasing tarps and some other relief for the effected communities is a start up model. Being proactive and not sitting waiting for the phone to ring .

Let's start with Beef up both your sales staff and your production staff. and properly train them. Many of the the salespeople are educated and they know roofing and how to work around the adjusters. and they dont necessarily come with a company. You can hire them outright. Stick to your pay policy. The roofers are a different pack. You have to keep and eye on them because they go way to fast. watch for blow thrus. Just slow them down. Put everyone on your payroll and keep to your policy. Slow them down.

You know what papa bull said to the baby bull when they were staninding on top of the hill and baby bull says lets run down and have our way with one of those heffers in the field below? ..... Papa bull says Let's walk and we can have them all. :laugh: :laugh:
