Key Takeaways

✦

Prioritize building strategic B2B partnerships (e.g., with gutter cleaning companies if you're a roofer) and community groups (e.g., PTAs) to generate warm, referred leads, offering incentives like referral fees or donations.

✦

Implement a dedicated, simple landing page on your website with a custom form and a QR code for referral partners to easily submit homeowner information, ensuring proper tracking and attribution.

✦

Establish a 'speed to lead' protocol, immediately contacting new leads via call, text, and email, and use call connect features to instantly connect CSRs with online form submissions.

✦

Develop a clear lead management plan that includes specific follow-up sequences (e.g., multiple contacts per day for the first few days) to ensure no lead falls through the cracks, especially after events like hailstorms.

✦

Integrate personalized video messages into your sales process for introductions, estimate delivery, approval confirmations, and post-service thank yous to enhance customer experience and stand out.

✦

Utilize texting platforms alongside calls and emails for diverse communication, recognizing that many customers prefer or are more responsive to text messages.

✦

Create a consistent retargeting strategy with a monthly email newsletter, leveraging existing content and cross-selling relevant services to maximize customer lifetime value and stay top-of-mind.
