Why do so many roofing businesses fail? Why do many family roofing businesses fizzle out before the second and third generations? Today’s guest has the perspective and experience to give us the answers. Join us to learn more!

We are joined by Chris Diroll of Tresnak Roofing, located in the Detroit area. Chris took his corporate background in manufacturing into the family roofing business, and now he is finding success in helping other contractors make their businesses more profitable. Chris joined us previously for Episode 328 about the value of a virtual assistant to a roofing business. Before our conversation with Chris, John DeLaurier gives updates about the new ProLine CRM, just launched on August 1.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• How Chris has found his place as a consultant, helping other contractors find solutions and clean up their processes

• Why contracting businesses are much different than they were a few years ago

• Why having an Exit Plan is crucial for your family and the legacy of your business

• Why the majority of family businesses don’t make it to the 2nd or 3rd generation

• How automated systems and processes make every roofing business more profitable and give a better customer experience

• How to move the needle on your roofing business

• Why your pre-qualification process should be an interview for every homeowner

• Two important factors in your business: revenue per capita and gross profit per day

• Why “busy” does NOT equal profit

• Why contractor mastermind groups are super valuable, along with consultants/coaches, and podcasts like this one
