Podcast 299: The Million-Dollar Roofer with John DeLaurier

Exciting things are happening as we approach the Episode 300 milestone! There are rebranding changes taking place as we further our quest to provide helpful content for roofing contractors, and John DeLaurier will be co-hosting the brand-new podcast, The Roofer Coach. In today’s show, we lay out the framework necessary for building a profitable business. Roofing is not an easy profession, but it can be profitable if you are willing to put in the work on the right tasks. Join us as we break down what it takes to be a million-dollar roofer!

John DeLaurier of DeLaurier Roofing is an expert at automating his sales process. John has partnered with us in our new Mastermind group for contractors to help them understand the sales process. John has spent time as a roofing contractor, a coaching client, and will now take on this new role as a co-host on The Roofer Coach podcast. He knows what works in the roofing business–and what doesn’t, and he’s happy to help us with the basics of running a profitable business.
