328: How To Use A Virtual Assistant In Your Roofing Business with Chris Diroll

Are you taking advantage of technology for today’s best time-saving hacks? A virtual assistant can make ALL the difference in your roofing business! Today’s conversation is about finding a VA and determining what tasks they should do to improve your profitability and refine the touchpoints you have with every customer. Blending cutting-edge technologies and automation with the human element is the BEST way to grow your roofing business intelligently.

My co-host, John DeLaurier, and I are joined by Chris Diroll of Tresnak Roofing in the Detroit area. Chris has taken his manufacturing background into the family roofing business, and he is finding great success with the crew of virtual assistants that work with him in various ways. He shares what he has learned and implemented to tweak and refine his sales process.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

How Chris implemented the move from pen/paper to using more automation in problem-solving from day to day

How COVID made innovation a necessity for Chris’ roofing business

How John uses reverse engineering to identify the WHY of what he does, what he wants his life to look like, and how the numbers fit into that purpose

Why it’s important to streamline your work hours with timesaving techniques and spend your time on $1000/hour activities instead of $25/hour stuff

Why Chris began using VAs to streamline his sales process with scorecard reports, lead follow-up, and prequalification—and much more
