Advantage Roof Cleaning Report post Posted March 1, 2013 People today are constantly bombarded with advertisements from every direction by companies and other people trying to sell them products or services. We have become quick to ignore or filter out the barrage of sales pitches. When you’re promoting your roof cleaning business face to face with others and you don’t make an impression after 30 seconds, you will be forgotten about. Hence you must always be ready with your 29 second pitch. The pitch must answer five questions: What is the problem? Add drama or fear to make it more interesting. What is it that I do? What is my cause or product? How can my service better people’s lives or make them financially better off? How am I different from the others (differentiation)? Here is my 29 second pitch as an illustration: We’re being invaded and most people don’t even realize it yet. Have you noticed any rooftops that have ugly black streaks and stains? That’s air born algae that quickly multiply and spread over the roof’s surface. Besides being unsightly, it’s destructive and costly. Roughly 50% of roofs are replaced simply due to their ugly appearance or premature deterioration that could have been prevented. I’m here to bring you the good news that Advantage Roof Cleaning Company has a safe and inexpensive process that kills the algae, cleans away the streaks and restores the shingles to their proper condition. 6 1 Roof Savers Canada, 3LM Roof Cleaning, ELITE HYDRO CLEANING and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SRC Report post Posted April 21, 2014 I am new to roof cleaning but an old timer at knocking on doors for business. I know this post is form last year, but I wanted to add my compliments to your (what I call) schpeel. I fully agree that you only have a few seconds to get the customer's attention so you better have something good. If you don't mind I'll steal your schpeel and use it. Good post Dave!

Advantage Roof Cleaning Report post Posted June 9, 2014 Deep Cleaning, The door hanger looks great. Do you have anything on the back side? Now that you have the HO's attention with the 29 second message, you need a call to action.
