Episode 73 - Easily Track Referrals From Your Market 

Getting customers to refer their contacts to your business has always been one of the most coveted ways to get new business.  The problem has always been, how do we track and really give our customers and community a streamlined system to refer potential new clients to our business? 

Well, Jamey Vumback from Get The Referral tackled this issue and has spent several years building the most powerful platform in the industry to solve that problem.  

In this tech showcase, we got a look at GTR and how it is revolutionizing the way that referrals are tracked, managed, and compensated to keep the referrals coming the easiest way possible.

Episode 72 - Roofing Contractor or Personal Development Company? 

For this episode, we traveled to Tyler, TX, and met with Klint and Leeann Koppel, and Joseph Kozel owners of ASAP Roofing and Construction.  

They and their amazing team were gracious enough to give us behind-the-scenes access to what makes ASAP Roofing so special, and while most people think it's the number of roofs they install, it's really a whole different focus for the Tyler, TX based contractor.  

They have been able to install roofs from their offices across the nation by building and developing an amazing team of people, and those people make ASAP so special.  

We learned some amazing lessons on team building and understanding the importance of treating people right and provide as many opportunities as possible.   

You’re only as good as your team!

Episode 69 - 365 Consecutive Murph Workouts - Day 365

Graham Dessert, founder of Roofing 101 is a beast!  

His story is amazing, and as a contractor, he set out to do something most people could never dream of accomplishing.  Graham completed a daily Murph workout for 365 days straight! 

What is a Murph?  The workout: A 1-mile run, followed by 100 pull-ups, 200 pushups, and 300 unweighted squats, followed by another 1-mile run. ... In a nod to the workout's military roots—it's named for Lt. Michael P. Murphy, a Navy SEAL killed in action in 2005.  

Congrats to Graham, and it’s such an inspiration to contractors around the nation!  Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it!
