Most roofers WANT referrals, but they’re going about it ALL wrong. They chase realtors, insurance agents, and past customers without a clear strategy. But what if you could build a referral machine that feeds your business on autopilot?
In this episode, we dive deep with Steven Ragsdale of Blacksmith Roofing, who cracked the code to scaling a $6M+ roofing company WITHOUT storm chasing, door knocking, or buying leads. Instead, he built a highly profitable, referral-driven roofing business by doing things differently.
✅ The number one reason most roofers struggle with referrals (and how to fix it)
✅ Why “Hobby-Based Marketing” is the secret weapon for endless leads
✅ How hiring the right sales team doubles your revenue
✅ Why focusing on the RIGHT customer experience fuels unstoppable growth
If you want to build a roofing company that thrives year after year without chasing the next storm, this episode is for you.
