Turning Leaks Into Leads

Service and Maintenance work can be the most profitable category of work for Commercial Roofing Contractors and Building, Project & Construction Consultants/Surveyors.

Many contractors and consultants are now dedicating sales teams to this lucrative opportunity. Every leak can be an up-sell. Contractors and Consultants respond to dozens of flat roof defect calls each week. Nearly every roof that leaks also has other critical maintenance and repair needs. Since properly managed roofs last longer and cost less over time, you can offer a valuable service via SURVEYROOFSURVEYROOF by educating building owners about the condition of their roofs while making proactive recommendations for repair and maintenance.

Building owners tend to have an "out of site, out of mind" mentality regarding their roof assets, so until you bring it to their attention, they may not even be aware that they have extensive problems or an opportunity to manage their assets wisely. Many building owners don't even realize they need routine maintenance to protect their warranties. So how many leak and roof defect enquiries does your company respond to each week?

Imagine how your profits and reputation will snowball if you can follow-up a fraction of those enquiries with a Electronic Leak Detection and Roof Condition Survey by SURVEYROOFSURVEYROOF and then you can follow-up on repair and maintenance using the detailed reports produced by SURVEYROOFSURVEYROOF.

Immediate, professional follow-up with the building owner is critical. Studies have consistently shown that proposals for repair are much more likely to be accepted and funded when the proposal is delivered to the client within a few days of the initial survey.

TOOLS FOR SUCCESS

The formula for success is simple: Undertake Electronic Leak Detection and Roof Condition Surveys with SURVEYROOFSURVEYROOF, present recommendations for repair work clearly with a complete report document while the current leak(s) and other defects are fresh in the clients minds and before the next leak occurs.
