The people

Who should be sending you clients

Ranked by what starts the job, not by who sounds close to your trade. When something happens that makes people need roofers, who else gets a call that same week?

Match strength is how much of your work starts from the same event as theirs, scored out of 100. Higher means you are more often called into the same job in the same week.

  1. 1 Community Association Manager (HOA / Condo) They send you work Trigger: a named storm comes through 87 match strength out of 100
  2. 2 Insurance Property & Casualty Two-way Trigger: a named storm comes through 81 match strength out of 100
  3. 3 Commercial Property Manager They send you work Trigger: a named storm comes through 76 match strength out of 100

Let us be straight with you. For roofers, a weekly referral group is not the best pick. Your partners gather in professional groups instead, so spend your time there. We would rather say that than sell you a seat you do not need.

These rooms meet on real dates. We will send you the next ones for your area. Send me the dates ↑
