Marketing is a common topic on The Roofer Coach for the simple reason that so many roofing contractors are doing it wrong. They hire agencies that don’t produce the desired outcomes, throw money into futile efforts, or simply don’t budget enough for the right kind of marketing. Today’s show covers how to approach marketing to become “5-mile famous.” Join us to learn more!

Elizabeth Lytle is with Contractor Dynamics, the roofing industry’s leading marketing training company. Their marketing training program is exclusively focused on growth-minded roofing companies. They partner with business owners and companies to equip them to take control over their marketing to create predictable growth.
