Most roofing companies don’t have a lead problem.
They have a response time problem.
In this video, Jim breaks down the most overlooked part of the customer journey- what happens in the first 5 minutes after a lead comes in.
And the numbers don’t lie:
• Most contractors don’t answer fast enough
• Buyers go with the first company that responds
• After 5 minutes, your chances drop off hard
• Fixing this ONE thing can add serious revenue without buying more leads
This is a practical breakdown of why speed to lead matters, where most companies mess it up, and how tightening it up can change your business fast.
If you want to run a tighter operation, book more jobs, and stop letting good leads slip through the cracks, this one’s worth your time.
