The "I do it, we do it, they do it" framework for scaling past yourself
You already know how to scale a roofing business the hard way: more crews, more leads, more competition for the same tear-off jobs.Â
But there’s a version of roofing business growth that doesn’t run through any of that, and it comes from selling something the contractor down the street doesn’t offer.
Carmelo Marsala patented a roofing product that SKIPS the entire repair-or-replace argument homeowners dread.Â
That means his roofing company marketing doesn’t need to beat anyone on price (because there’s no competitor offering the same fix).Â
In this episode, Carmelo hands you the product, the math behind it, and the framework he used to build a company around it.
Watch the full episode to discover:
🔥 The new roofing product Carmelo patented (insurance companies are already paying attention to it)
🔥 Why 30 people, including a PhD chemist who’d worked for major paint companies, told Carmelo his idea was IMPOSSIBLEÂ
🔥 How Carmelo took his first invention from $250K to $3.2M in sales in three years using the same door-knocking formula he learned at 18
🔥 The custom pump his team had to build from scratch because no equipment on the market could spray the material his roofing product needed
🔥 Why Carmelo has NEVER taken a dividend out of his business in 15 years… and what he did with that money instead
🔥 The 3-phase framework Carmelo uses with every franchisee to move from doing every job themselves to running a business that doesn’t need them in the room
If your roofing company still competes on price, relies on lead aggregators, or fights the same battle with rejuvenation oils and full replacements, this episode offers a way out of all three.
Watch this episode now and see what it looks like to sell something NOBODY else in your market offers.
