We will text within one business day with the first three buildings in your market we would go after, and why. If it is not a fit we will say so.

The cost of waiting

Every month between storms has a price tag.

You have already left behind

$0

in gross profit, while the weather decided how good your year was.

Contract value that never got signed$0
Three year compounded cost of the same delay$0
Gross profit that evaporates in every month between storms$0

Held back to what a company your size could realistically absorb, which is about 40% of current monthly revenue in new work.

A 40% to 60% swing between the best storm season month and the slowest winter month is normal in roofing. One $4.2M Texas roofer watched his bank balance drop $114,300 every year between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day, because when the hail stopped the cash flow stopped with it.

That is $0 for every day you keep waiting.

Gross margin default 28% (commercial re-roof band 20% to 38%). Three year figure compounds at 3% monthly ramp. Estimates for illustration, not a projection of your results.

Why the phone is quiet

It is not the work. It is where the work comes from.

001 · WEATHER

Your business plan is a hail map

A significant storm cycle hits a given metro roughly every 12 to 24 months, and 39% of metro areas see no giant hail at all in a given year. Between those events the swing from your best month to your worst runs 40% to 60%.

002 · CHASERS

Fifty roofers become two hundred overnight

After a major hail event a mid size market can go from about 50 active roofers to 200 in a week. Most of the extra 150 are gone in 60 to 90 days, but they are there for exactly the window you were counting on, and they compete on price.

003 · RESIDENTIAL

A homeowner buys one roof, ever

Re-roofing is 63.5% of the market and commercial is the fastest growing side of it. The property manager with eleven flat roofs is a decade of re-roofs and a maintenance agreement. The homeowner is one transaction and a yard sign.

004 · SPEED

The first roofer to call books the inspection

Contractors who mobilized within eight hours of a storm secured 68% of available work against 32% for those responding after a day. Speed wins post storm, but only if there is already a pipeline running before the storm hits.

The story

I am not a marketer. I am an outreach engineer.

For the last two years I have built one thing: systems that get a specific person to answer a specific message. I built it first for my own career, because I had to. I have been hired across four continents and four industries, and every single one of those jobs came from reaching the decision maker directly instead of waiting in a queue with everyone else.

Then I pointed the same machine at commercial trades, because the problem turned out to be identical. A commercial roofing contractor sitting on a bid list is doing exactly what a candidate on a job board is doing: waiting for a stranger to pick them out of a pile, competing only on price, with no way to start the conversation first.

The buildings you want are already owned by someone. They are not looking for you. They are reachable. That is the entire difference.

So Landed does the unglamorous half. We find the property managers, facility directors and building owners in your radius, work out which buildings each one controls, write to them one at a time, and keep at it until there is a date on your calendar. You do the part you are actually good at, which is standing in front of someone and winning the work.

The mechanism

The LAND Method

Four steps. Run for you, not handed to you as homework.

L

Locate

We map the property managers, facility directors and building owners inside your service radius, and the flat roofs each one actually controls.

A

Activate

Every one of them gets a message written for their building and their roof age, not a blast. Hundreds a week, each one specific.

N

Network

Replies turn into real conversations with the person who signs the contract, not a storm door knock and not a form.

D

Deliver

A confirmed roof inspection or call on your calendar, with a short brief on the building, the buyer and why they answered. You show up and sell.

The alternatives

You have three options. Two of them you have already tried.

Nobody wins commercial work by being the cheapest name on a list. They win it by being the one person who was already in the room. That is the only thing we build.

Questions

The honest answers.

Booked appointments with the property managers and facility directors who own commercial roofs in your service area. Each one lands on your calendar with a short brief on the building, the buyer and what they responded to.

No, it makes the storm years bigger and the quiet years survivable. Commercial re-roof and maintenance work runs on roof age and budget cycles, not weather, so it fills the 12 to 24 months between events and it is already running when the next one hits.

The filter is the building, not the person. We target managers and owners of commercial properties that match the systems and the radius you actually cover. If an inspection should not have been booked, tell us and we adjust the targeting that week.

You get a text, usually the same day. We ask two or three questions about your market and the commercial work you want more of, then send you the first buildings we would go after. If it is not a fit we will tell you and that is the end of it.

Stop waiting

The next storm is not a strategy.

Give us your number. We will text you three commercial buildings in your market we would go after this week.

One number. That is the whole ask.

We will text you first, so you can decide whether a call is worth your time before you spend any of it.
