Lately I’ve been thinking about using this Twitter thing more for my businesses and seeing where it leads me. I’ll kick it off with an intro of where we are at this point: - Started 3 Businesses over the past 5 years with one of my best friends that I met in college - Both of us were average students that learned how to pass classes rather than learn information and graduated with Economics degrees - We both got W2 jobs immediately until landing in roofing sales roles (1099) - Started up our first Company, North Tarrant Christmas Lights, 5 years ago and have grown it to 180k/yr Biz - Started up our main Company, Upright Roofing and Construction, 2.5 years ago and have done 3m the first two years but we are expecting to hit 5m this year. - Started Outright Paintless Dent Repair this year, which hasn’t taken off like we’ve hoped but have done about 15k thus far.

@BalconesRoofing Should be disco since its barrel tile huh?

@ianncushing Roof

Roofing is super slept on when it comes to cold email lead gen If you own a roofing co and want to see how we are generating commercial roofing leads, comment "roof" and I will show you

Moar plz

Texas Retail: 50% due when materials are dropped 50% due on completion, final job walk Sometimes 100% on completion if small, non complex Insurance: We do deductible + First insurance check day of install (might change to deductible due at contract signing) Final insurance check due when received from insurance, called depreciation check

Not sure if this applies in California but: What is the operating cash flow on a single $20k roofing job? Does the client pay you a deposit? When do they make final payment? When do you buy materials? When do you pay the sub? When do you pay sales commission to the rep who brought the deal?

@irentdumpsters 😂😂😂

@TylerPurcell24 Some people just call me stupid

Oh cool, you’re a super fit single 35 year old with a 9-5 corporate job who can workout for 2 hours every day. I’ll take the fit entrepreneur dad with a 6, 3, and 1 year old all day. Nothing can stop this madman. He is the evolution of male dominance. His brain is not wired correctly. There is no losing for this man.

Woke up today a WINNER

Agree it’s not the best model for everyone. Provide a good service at a “decent” rate and they’ll return at ~90% Granted, most houses we do aren’t the ones your nephew could do solo. What is nice, is I can dispatch sub contracted crews without having a central hub to bring materials from. And I’ve never had a customer successfully say that “they thought they had more lights last year” or wrong color or we messed up their lights during the offseason because they’ve had them

@Ian_Allis0n @dylthorn @rampulla_andrew I use the “multi application” clip, I call it the scorpion clip. It stays attached to the bulb on removal and it holds direction so even if the labeling is confusing, you can “read the clips” very easily

Same here. Customer keeps the product, lights go up the same every year in half an hour, no labels. I couldn’t imagine throwing them all together and taking the time to cut to size every year. But, I also install lights correctly using shingle tab instead of an all in one clip on each light so it’s easy to know what goes where. Keep it simple.
