308: Top 10 Mistakes Roofers Make

The smart guy doesn’t learn from his own mistakes, he learns from the mistakes of others! This episode is all about sharing the experiences of others, so it’s best to leave your ego at the door and open your mind because what I share with you today is going to help to get you unstuck and back on track to running a profitable roofing business in 2022! What you’ll hear in this episode: Here are the top ten mistakes that I detail: #1 - Not having a clear vision of where you want to go in your business. #2 - Not differentiating yourself from the competition. #3 - Not charging enough money for your work. #4 - Not understanding your financial statements. #5 - Not having systems and processes for everything. #6 - Not being focused on anything but the sales number.  #7 - Not delegating. You can’t wear all the hats! #8 - Not knowing if you’re actually a profitable company. #9 - Not having a mentor. #10 - Not staying on top of recruiting, training, and retention. I summarize a few more bonus “top mistakes”  to avoid when you want to be a successful roofing contractor. Do you have any questions? I would love to hear from you!
