The Equipter team had a grand time in New Orleans at the 2022 International Roofing Expo. Connecting with customers and making new friends, getting a taste of local favorites...here's an inside scoop on what went down. 

As demand for high-performing roofers increases and the ability to find them decreases, roofing companies face a multitude of challenges, including turning down big jobs. But if you shift your focus–and resources–from hiring to increasing production, you may not have to lose jobs due to lack of labor this year. 

Many homeowners expect their roofs to be replaced in a week or less. If you're unable to meet that expectation, you may not land the contract that could skyrocket your roofing sales.

The team at Equipter has a unique appreciation for the flagship model of the company, having been in production and available to the public since 2004. The Equipter RB4000 has revolutionized professionalism in the roofing industry and is now driving productivity increases in various other manual labor industries. 

The foundation of your roofing company's online presence is a solid website. Whether you're just starting a roofing company or looking for ways to enhance an existing website, it's essential that your roofing website design sticks out from the rest. 

As a salesperson, you can never get too much advice. We recently sat down with Equipter Sales Manager John Stoltzfus to get his insight on how to make more sales without being pushy.

Having owned his own roofing business for 10 years before joining Equipter, John is well-acquainted with the industry struggles. Having been at Equipter for over six years, he makes it his mission to ensure our customers feel comfortable in their equipment investments. 

In this article, John shares the top sales tips he's learned over the years and regularly uses to empower the Equipter Sales Team. Read his tips for roofing salesmen below.
