In fact, you will see how these very technics helped Roof Crafters increase contracts signed and more importantly, profits on each job.
What is lead nurturing?
Lead nurturing for your roofing leads is taking a lead or opportunity and care for it every step of the way through the sales cycle.
I’m sure you all get emailed blogs posts on how to get 15 roofing leads in the next 15 days, 3 common ways roofers waste their marketing dollars, 3 reasons why roofers lose money with Google AdWords.
These are all great but what about the leads you generate now? Every roofing company has some leads. What is your closing percentage? What is your cost to acquire a new roofing lead? What is the cost to actually get that lead from a lead to the jobs build calendar (customer acquisition cost)?
Heard of lead nurturing but don’t really know what it is? Know a little about it but it seems overwhelming to implement? Not exactly sure what it can do for you?
All of these are great questions. Here are a few staggering statistics.
80% of new leads never turn into a sale. Companies that excel at lead nurturing generate 50% mores sales ready leads at a 33% lower cost per lead.
Sell your higher end roofs to a nurtured lead, no more 3-tab roofs here.
Sell more hip & ridge with warranties. This is what it is all about. More upgrades more money.
Imagine taking a cold roofing lead from Google or your company website, getting that lead immediate information on your company and by the time your salesman gets to the door the lead already knows everything about your roofing company.
Sound like it’s just too much to keep up with? Too much to do by hand? Too good to be true?
