- Ryan’s company was mostly doing insurance work but expanded their retail sales after the introduction of SumoQuote. In the first two years, their retail sales increased 64%, which translated to millions of dollars and made a huge impact on their business.
- SumoQuote can speed up your quotes because you can save templates in the program. This will help speed up your sales and separate you from the competition.
- 5 Keys to Improve Your Roofing Quotes:
- Simplicity sells. Make it as easy as possible for the homeowner to understand. If it’s hard for the homeowner to understand, it’s hard for the homeowner to buy.
- Don’t tell them; show them. Your brain can absorb visual content 10 times fast than written, so the more you can include visual content within the quote, the easier it is for your clients to understand.
- Make the client the hero. The sales process is like a story, and there is a character for each part. Step away from you, the contractor coming to the homeowner’s rescue, being the hero of the story. The more you insert the client and their home into the quote and the picture, the easier it is to see them as the hero. They should be the focus of this story.
- Throw to the client’s sweet spot. Using a baseball analogy, when you make your pitch, you want to throw it at homeowner’s sweet spot for them to have the greatest and easiest chance of hitting that ball. When you craft your quote, understand what matters to the homeowner, and make sure you include those points within your quote.
- Create new value for your client. At the end of every job, do a project summary report. This has a powerful effect on the client, as they can see your transparency as a business and that you’re documenting the process for them. This instills trust in your business.
- In addition to its use for quotes and project summary reports, contractors can also use this software for inspection reports. SumoQuote has a built-in dashboard, which has a strong sales management analytical side to it. Salespeople can track their call-backs and get reminders on that; they can sync their sales numbers, and business owners can see what’s open on their pipeline and see what their company’s numbers are.
