Publisher's summary

Two out of every three roofing sales reps quit or get fired in their first 12 months. Veterans burn out, drink, or quit. Owners and managers pour their hearts into new hires, watch them drop like flies, and question why they’re still in the game. Why? Because roofing sales is one of the most mentally and emotionally challenging careers on this planet.

I’ve been in the trenches, experienced it all, and have trained thousands or roofing sales pros just like you. This book is for those of us who bet on ourselves, take the leap, and want to prove what we’re capable of, both personally and financially. Get the real-world, straight-shooting survival guide to conquer the mental and emotional battlefield of roofing sales that no one else understands.

Listen to this book and:

• Discover your ultimate motivation that never burns out (way deeper than money).
• Conquer your competition even if it feels like they are doing the same thing as you.
• Defeat your inner demon that is fighting you every step of the way.
• Beat the threats hiding inside your success because earning good money creates new struggles.
• Be wildly successful, fulfilled, and happy in roofing sales!

Skills

Great info. I will benefit from the skill stack and 21 things to do. Love how you tied in personal development/growth with the sales and business aspect.

Good background

Although it was good background and insight. I was hoping for more techniques and rebuttal information.

New perspective

I originally wanted to experience this book to gain a new perspective and I was not disappointed.
The book is more about self development, discipline, and self discovery than just sales. All of those things are actually the backbone of every great sales representative. The book gave me a better insight as to some of the common difficulties and roadblocks that every roofing salesman inevitably encounters.
Mainly highlighting the the self development aspect which is the most important and beneficial factor.
The money is merely a fringe benefit though it’s often the main reason one engages in the profession.

Thank you Adam for taking the time to write and narrate the book !

Changed my life 💙

Finished the Roofing Sales Survival Guide book today.
Wow, this book = Me!

From inner deamons (from work to my personal life, to losing my brother and going down a dark hole, to overcoming everything and starting a new life and career),
to understanding my why and wanting more, why I get up and push every single day,
why I need to push more,
and being happy and want to work… not working to be happy later.
And continue to learn learn learn, read more, listen to podcasts, and grow.

Thanks 👊🏼 AB

Clarity of the mental struggles

Adam Bensman clearly communicates what it takes to be mentally prepared in order to be successful in this business. I would recommend this book to anyone entering the field of roof sales. Only complaint is I wish it was longer! But he also has hours or free content on YouTube. Cheers Adam!

Very well written and great insights!

The Roofing Sales Survival Guide offers invaluable insights into the dynamic world of roofing sales, addressing the challenges (personally and professionally) inherent in the field. The book not only identifies these hurdles but also provides practical strategies to overcome them, making it an essential read for anyone navigating a sales career in roofing. Definitely recommend this book.

Top of the line

Thank you for being educational and sharing how easy it is to be an honest salesperson with moral and integral business practices. So many contractors contribute to the bad name of roofers and this is the way to change that title one customer at a time

Do yourself a favor and buy this book now!

My biggest struggle in sales has always been the internal battle. I've been stuck in this self fulfilling prophecy where I compare myself to others and get down about it, which then leads to bad performance at work and a lack of sales. It's really great to hear someone else get vulnerable and talk about these issues (and others I can relate too!) and help me to see a way to break that cycle. Thanks for talking about the stuff no one else will talk about!
