Most roofing contractors don’t go out of business because of lack of leads.

They go out of business because they don’t understand their numbers.

In this episode, Dave Sullivan breaks down why contractors stay busy but still go broke—and what to fix before it’s too late.

Featuring insights from Michael Stone from Markup and Profit , this episode covers:

• Why 9 out of 10 contractors fail
• The biggest pricing mistakes roofers make
• The difference between markup and margin
• Why more sales can actually make things worse
• The minimum profit you need to stay in business

If you’re not clear on your numbers, none of the marketing or leads matter.
