The Automation Mistake That's Killing Your Close Rate | Ep. 89


Listen Later

Most roofing contractors think they're using automation to grow. They're actually using it to destroy trust. In this episode, John DeLaurier breaks down why the wrong automation pushes homeowners away, what the biggest follow-up mistake in roofing is, and how the right automation sells jobs while you sleep.

John built and sold his own roofing company over almost 10 years, closing millions in revenue across two Georgia markets while being the most expensive contractor in both.

He explains the psychology behind why homeowners respond to some messages and ignore others, and walks through exactly how automated follow-up should work to keep relationships alive for weeks or even months.
