That's why I cited my source.
I am looking for a "fit" with a company that may be willing to take some creative approaches in selling to this market. I haven't gotten far but I suspect that the sales side of this industry has its share of "pit bull closers". Certainly that's what every sales manager wants. It's funny how the Craigslist ads mostly say they want "Top Closers", "The Best of the Best", and so on.
Well, at a strong and healthy 61, I've been around long enough to know that "the good ones" are working with the best companies. You know, kinda like when you're lookin' for a woman, the good ones are already taken, LOL
In my extensive internet research, I've found some companies that on their sites and videos tout longevity and integrity and top notch customer service.
Being in the Auto Glass business, these seem to be, for the most part, the companies that also have their own leased fleet of company trucks. As opposed to a mish mash of trucks with magnetic signs and out of state plates. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
The networking I do in auto glass is to help folks whenever I can with things that may help them be successful.
As I approach the roofing business, I'm already benefiting by the enormous amount of valuable information available here and on the net.
So my real reason for posting about high probability selling was to see if anyone in roofing had ever heard of it and might talk about it or any other creative selling.
