How to Make 500 CASH A Day-Advice to SowPubber
 
Thanks for the quick Response.

On the Sow pub you mentioned about a guy you helped with Roofing and Siding make a lot of cash.

I have a roofer here in Chicago I am trying to generate leads for.

Sent from my iPhone

=====================
Howdy,

As you can see above I got this question sent to me via iPhone
from a fellow Sowpubber.

I called Jerry on the phone to ask Questions.

Q #1 - "What is the roofing co owners Style of Communication?

Meaning is his existing marketing - Face to face, By phone, In Print.

Jerry said, "The Home roofer told me he gets most of his jobs BY REFERRAL."

Q #2 - I Asked Jerry, "Are YOU Comfortable chatting with The Roofers
Home owner neighbors - While he is Replacing a House Roof?"

Jerry says, "I've already gotten paid 500.00 - TWICE - For Sending my Neighbors to the roofer - after he did MY Roof."

I said, "Great."

"Here is a Referral idea I borrowed from a Mil lionaire Roofer in Manhattan,
A wealthy landscaper in FL, a multi-millionaire interior decorator in Illinois.

"I've Applied it for Plumbers, electricians, Roofing companies, HVAC, AC,
Drywall, carpet installers - on and on.

ANYBODY
ANYWHERE
Can use it to make 500+ a day or more.

I told Jerry to call his roofing company owner. Find out the addresses
of the Home owners he is currently Working for or TALKNG to.

Giving a quote.
Doing roof repair.
The roof is off.
They are done but doing clean-up.

Step I - Ask the roofer. "Do you do F-r-e-e Inspections and Quotes?"
The good ones will say "YES.

Step II - ASK, "Will You P ay me 500.00 for each roofing job I find you?
DUH - 500.00 for 10K Profit - is an easy decision.

(TRY THIS TOO) Even Better. ASK, "How much Do You ALREADY pay People
Who FIND you Roofing Jobs? (It might be MORE than 500.00)

Step III - Here's The Nifty No-Brainer Strategy I borrowed from the multi
Millionaire roofer in Manhattan.

IN THE EVENING when the neighbors are home.

You knock on the door of the House To the right of THE ROOF JOB. When
the Husband or wife answers the door you say,

"Hi, I'm knocking on your door so You Don't think I'm a BURGLAR and call the
police. We're replacing the roof for Joe Smith next door. And I'm Walking
Around their yard to make sure we got all the shingles and boards cleaned
up."

"Just in case you know anybody who wants Their roof, chimney, aluminum siding or Roof Inspected. We normally Charge a 150.00 Fee. But since we're
ALREADY HERE in the neighborhood - it's FREE.

If they don't say "YES" right away.

YOU
LEAVE
Them
Your Card. You can make some up cheap on your computer. Or go on Fiverr.com

Your Name
Your Ph #

WRITE in ink - "FREE Home Roof, siding, Energy saver Inspection"

DO
NOT
GIVE the home owners to the right, left, across the street and behind
the roofing job home - the ROOFERS Biz Card...

OR YOU won't get paid!

IF one home owner can't decide
or "has to talk to my husband."

That is a great excuse to get THEIR # - so you can check back with them from home.

It's a fact that most homes
on the same street are built
at the same time. AND if one roof goes bad.

ALL of them are probably leaking.

KNOCK on 4 doors.

Refer the roofer to 4 Homes. His inspections ALWAYS reveal problems.

You might not get 500.00 for an Entire roof Replacement. But those smaller
fees ADD UP too.

Then work your way up and down that street.

Thanks,
Glenn Osborn

P.S. - Just Suppose the roofer REFUSES to pay you?

Heh heh heh.

Use GREED.

Ask him, "What do I do with these other 3 roofing jobs I found? I was talking
to your gal friday back at the office. She said Jim Brown is your biggest
competitor. I bet He'd pay me."

I can atest to this method
 
I can atest that what Glenn has described as a method works for getting sales.

While my business developed customers through our own telemarketing room, we also employed point of sale (as Glenn describes), as well as confusion tactics for company awareness promotion to aid in acquiring telemarketing leads.

My sales force would receive the phone generated leads each day, but one fortunate salesperson for each truck (on a rotating basis) would be assigned to follow each of our trucks into neighborhoods rather than persue leads.

Once the truck was onsite and up and running, then the sales person would call on surrounding homes - generally 2 - 4 homes on each side of the job and 4 -6 homes across the street.

As the truck equipment was powered by a separate Volkwagon motor and high speed wind turbines, it was rather noisy.

The sales person would call on adjacent home owners and apologize for the noise levels...and also explain that the job that was being done was necessary (explaining briefly the reasons for it, and then offer an on the spot inspection of their home to see if the problem existed in their home also...if the salesperson did their inspection correctly a sale would result and the job scheduled....while most days the trucks were fully booked, we did run into occasional last minute booking problems of a time slot, and an idle truck was not an income producer....

....as such the sales person would offer these neighboring homes a special discount incentive if they were flexible on having their job done (meaning they would be scheduled for a date, but if we had a short notice opening and they were willing to have the job done on short notice they would receive the special incentive - as our scheduler arrived a half hour before the truck crews did, the scheduler called and verified appointment times for each time slot for the day - so therefore we knew at the start of the day if there were any jobs for that day that had to be moved due to circumstances with the customer, and thus the scheduler would contact one of these special incentive customers to fill the vacant time slot).

The only drawback to this method was the fact that in some of the neighboring homes no one was at home, but even so, the success rate was excellent for those that were. It was a much easier sale for the salesman than going out on a lead from the telemarketers.

How to Guarantee the Home Owners Are Home
 
Thanks Cornel,

Good details.

I've used variations of this WARM - FUZZY - FRIENDLY Door Knocking
method for everything from Plumbers in Chicago.

To Landscapers in Florida.

To Insurance S alespeople in California.

YOU Can Work a full time job And do this part time.

OR

OWN a full time business and make good munny part time.

COMMON SENSE really.

Only do The 4 home-Circle-Door Knocking in the evening after folks
Get home from work and weekends.

Someone is almost ALWAYS HOME.

How to Use GREED to Persuade Roof Contractors to PAY You
 
Hi,

Years ago at a Jay Abraham seminar I met a guy named Mac Ross.
Mac was on-stage fielding questions with Jay at all 15 Protege Bootcamps I
attended.

Macrae Ross.

He explain how it was not necessary to use any of the Myriad of Complicated
Contracts Jay had hired his attorney to create for us.

IN FACT.

It was better and quicker to AVOID Contracts and Letters of Agreement
because they were what got client prospects to RUN to their Attorneys.

And an attorneys MAIN job - in their mind - is to give REASONS WHY
You should NOT do the deal.

Here's What Mac does instead.

Adapted for roofing contractors or Insurance agents or ANY situation
where you s ell stuff to home owners.

********
STEP I - You have to FIND some Roofing Jobs under-way. So You Hotfoot it
down to your local Home Depot. Early in the morning.

Help contractors carry and push their purchases back to the truck. Tell
a roofer You Dad or brother is thinking of getting HIS roof replaced. And
ask if it's ok to follow him back to the Job Site. Their current Roof Replacement project.

GET THE Address in case you Lose him at a red light.

Then do the same thing with 2 or 3 other Contractors.

*********
STEP II - Ok. You Wait until After 5 Pm - when the workers knock off for the day. You zip over to the job-site. And knock on 4 or 5 of the neighbors doors.

Use the REASON WHY Patter at the top of this thread. Cornel and His NOISE
Reason why is good too.

You can Apologize for the NOISE and The Mess. Offer them a Free Roof
Or Energy CheckList Consultation.

**********
STEP III -

A - By This time - You've Already gone thru the contractors website.

B - You have chatted with the Receptionist or Job Site Manager - about
the Regular cost of getting a roof inspection and bid.

(**Emailed her 2 or 3 Amazing Scrumptious Muffin Recipes w/Thank U Notes.)

C - You've Discovered that they WAIVE that fee for homes near where
they are already working.

(IF they don't - CROSS that one off your list.)

**********
STEP IV - Then You Call and Tell the Receptionist you have 2 or 3 Prospects.
Home owners who want a roof estimate. (And You Have a SYSTEM to get more.)

Don't leave it there either.

E-mail her a page of details.

Jane Doe - 2500 sq feet - Age of roof. Leaks around chimney. Location:
Btwn Home Depot and Your current job site at _________.

ASK Each Contractor, "How much do you P ay for Finders? People who find
You roof replacement jobs."

Depending on the SIZE of the roof they may P ay you MORE than 500.00

***********
STEP V - THIS IS THE KEY to getting paid without any contract.

WHEN THE OWNER CALLS YOU BACK. And They Always do when You Name
DROP - FREE MOOLAH - You Name Drop his biggest competitor - that the Receptionist told you about.

Why did She BLAB to you?

You Plied Her With Muffin Recipes and Thank You Notes.

You ALSO mention the other 3 Roof Contractor Companies - AND their owners
names - You met at the Home Depot SuperStore.

You Explain You Have More LEADS than One Roofer Can Keep Up with.

EVEN the Greedy SOB who Won't Do a F-r-e-e Estimate
Will GO A BIT CRAZY when he finds out you have A List of
Home Owners WANTING to Hire a roofer!

Thanks,
Glenn Osborn

P.S. - How do You Get Friendly With the Receptionist at each Roofing
Contract Company - so fast?

My Clients Sends Them MUFFIN RECIPE Thank You Notes.

AND

FEED The Half Starved Roofers Home Made Muffins - while you help
them Carry their stuff out to the truck. They'll TALK Your Head Off
When You Feed Them. TELL YOU ANYTHING.

All their secrets.

WHAT
is
So
Special
About
My
Collection
Of Muffin Recipes - you ask?

They've ALREADY grossed a million dollars.

TRY THIS If You Doubt A Muffin Recipe Can Drive People A Bit BONKERS
 
Hey,

People FIGHT For Samples.

====================
#3 - Mouthwatering Whole Wheat Prune Muffins

Mouthwatering Prune Muffins - Prune Whole Wheat Muffins

MY ADVICE -

Don't Say They're Prune Muffins 'Til After Every Muffin Is Eaten.

The secret here is NOT to tell your sisters, brothers or parents what's in
these muffins. Tell them after they scarf them down. After that they won't
say "eeuuuuwww! Prune Muffins?" All you'll hear them say is, "Make some
more of those."

Another piece of advice.

Don't ever dye Prune Muffins Green. My Grandfather came over to our house
on St. Patrick's Day for dinner. I tried to im- press him with Green Prune
Muffins.

Not a good idea. The yellow-brown whole wheat flower and the green food coloring turned the muffins a bruised color (black and blue).

And The dark bits of prune made the whole effect even worse! My
Grandfather talked about those muffins for years.

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
2. Grease 12 muffin tins
3. Chop up pitted prunes -- cut each prune into eight pieces or more 4.
Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl

5. Then thoroughly mix 1 teaspoon of soda with dry ingredients

6. Pour wet ingredients in with dry and mix with large spoon until combined
Don't beat mixture. Just mix until no dry spots are left.

7. Immediately Spoon into greased muffin tins

8. Bake in oven for about 25 minutes. Tops of muffins will get brown when done.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup oil

1/4 cup warm honey

1 beaten egg

1 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour

1/2 tsp salt (optional) I don't use it

3/4 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt

(In a pinch you can mix up 3/4 cup of dry milk with water and squirt in
1 tablespoon of lemon juice -- This reacts with the soda and makes the
batter rise)

1/2 cup finely chopped prunes

Re: How to Make 500 CASH A Day-Advice to SowPubber
 
Glenn,

Why tell them anything about the muffins, just let them enjoy. If they do ask just go back to a late 70's Tide commercial, I believe it was Tide, where this Chinese guy said "Ancient Chinese secret" when asked about his great cleaning method.

If memory serves me correctly, his wife busted him and told the customers his "secret"

Glenn June 6, 2013 09:20 PM

Use What You Know, Rick...
 
Hey Rick,

I never suspected - when I was going thru hell - as a young kid - having
to make dessert for every meal...

I am the oldest of 3 and got CHOSEN for the job.

Day after Day.
Year after year.

My mother cooked the meals. I did dessert.

I got hassled by everybody about dessert.

That I'd be able to Take Advantage of more than 10 years of Muffin Making
to Persuade and sell stuff.

First - as a way to turn Gate Keepers into friends - while telemarketing
for Jay Abraham...

Then Later...

I discovered almost EVERYBODY Eats bad tasting food.

Most of what most people eat is processed or fast food or CARDBOARD Pizza.

So.

My decade of muffin recipe TESTS
taste like HEAVEN to people used to eating JUNK.

Use what you know to get the result you want.

Thanks - what immensely valuable posts!
 
Thanks Glenn (and also Cornell) for those insights. Brilliant!

I've actually been meaning to get into making money from generating leads. With this, and with some of the lead-generating tips which have been posted over the years, how could you not end up being a kind lead generating master?

Also, thanks Glenn on the tips on how to make sure you get paid. If you don't know what you're doing, sometimes that can be harder than actually generating the leads themselves (though not if you do know what you're doing).

Thanks - these posts are of immense value, for those who can see it!

Hi Glenn,
LindaC here.

Seven brothers at home growing up.

I too was in charge of making the blackberry cobbler,
Banana pudding, Strawberry-rhubarb pies, and fries
apple pies.

Those wear the days.

I also got appointments for an aluminum siding company.
But, they only paid $50 if a sale was made.

My Best 2 U,
LindaC
