“If I get your insurance to cover 85% of your roof, would you do it?” Why that question beats the old pitch.
Dan Walreck has sold roofs for 28 years, once did $18.7 million in a single year across 595 homeowners, and was on three appointments the day before recording. He breaks down how homeowner psychology shifts every three to five years, and why “all you pay is your deductible” no longer works when 90% of homeowners carry big deductibles (3:24). The real difference now is technology and education (2:35). He also covers why reps should step on the gas in Q4 instead of coasting (9:20), and the $170,000 claim he won by spending 35 minutes on $100 worth of window screens (20:21).
You’ll learn:
- The 85% talk track for homeowners with $5K to $10K deductibles
- Why knowing each insurance carrier’s guidelines (like ACV after 10 years) closes more deals
- Why Q4 and winter are when you build next spring’s pipeline
- Why Owl lost a $16K job to a $32K bid, and what that says about trust
- The question to ask every homeowner: are you basing your decision on price or value?
- Why reps leave companies because they don’t feel part of it, not because of money
- Why a $1M rep in 2000 is a $2.5M rep today
- Why Dan hires 30 to 40 year olds over 22 year olds
