Ask Me Anything About Selling Home Improvement
Through my years of being a top home improvement sales rep at various 8 and 9 figure a year companies, I've developed what I believe to be " The Perfect Home Improvement Presentation". I still sell every single day (even though I don't need to I just do it to keep the muscle strong) and consistently write 200K or more a month in new business and close at a 50% closing ratio or higher.
I'm writing this because a lot of people seem to have questions about getting more leads here, leads mean nothing if your not closing every lead thats closable. I'm willing to answer any questions you have about getting the job on the first meeting with the customer. Ask me anything about selling home improvement. |

Re: Ask Me Anything About Selling Home Improvement
Could there be a correlation between the shape of a persons face, and their willingness to spend money?

How do you know it's closable?
I personally treat every lead as closable until it's not Sent from my XP7700 using Tapatalk

Re: Ask Me Anything About Selling Home Improvement
Geez, kids, give the man a break.
He didn't say his personal income was 200K a month, he said he closed that much for the company he worked for. Reading comprehension, folks, He just posted this Friday afternoon. It's Saturday morning. How soon did you want him to get back to you? If someone comes on here asking questions, you give 'em hell for not knowing the answers. Someone comes on here offering assistance, and you break his balls. Sheesh. ![]() Personally, I don't need any help closing or selling. My natural charm, exquisite good looks, vast knowledge, friendly personality, and professionalism, not to mention my incredible humility, means that I have a full-time job just turning customers away.

That sounds like dying and going to Purgatory to me. I don't really like dealing with people. I love being on the jobsite, and being left alone. Delta

If you could get paid without doing the work, sounds like winner winner chicken dinner to me.

Re: Ask Me Anything About Selling Home Improvement
Absolutely, They need to have the ability to purchase (Money or credit) and the authority to say yes ( all decision makers there) The third one is a a general want, need, and desire for your product but you build desire and need when you get there. Even if someone tell you there not going to do anything for 3 years you still pitch that lead.

Re: Ask Me Anything About Selling Home Improvement
You have the right mindset. I cant tell you how many leads I've sold where the homeowner tells me I'm wasting my time because there not doing anything until next year no matter what I say. Buyers are liars. The good thing is 90% of contractors wont bother pitching homeowners like that. They only want lay downs so if your presentation is strong and you know how to close you can pick up those deals all day long.
