Selling managed IT, support and network services to roofers

Roofing firms are usually small family businesses with a crew or two, run by an owner who still quotes jobs in person. Work depends heavily on the weather, so they think about cash flow and about filling the diary in advance.

IT service providers mostly grow through referrals and long term contracts with local businesses. A lead database of companies in your service area lets you approach new offices systematically and time your follow up when their current contract may be up for review.

The roofers that need managed IT, support and network services are listed publicly. What most IT service providers lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What IT service providers run into with roofers

You want to reach offices in your service area but have no clean list.

Import lists from directories or chambers of commerce into a segment per town or sector.

Sales cycles are long, so contacts go cold before anyone follows up.

Statuses, notes and a date field for the next check show which companies need a follow up.

Many roofers use a free email address or none at all.

An existing email column always wins in Riftjaw; where only a website is known, email from domain suggests role addresses as clearly marked guesses.

Scraped roofer lists mix roofers with builders and general handymen.

Use tags and a field for roof types to clean the list, and archive records that are not a real fit so campaigns skip them.

What to say to roofers

Write one mail with placeholders and let the details change per record. These openings tend to work with roofers.

  • Talk about smoothing out the quiet weeks caused by bad weather, for example with better online visibility in good weather months.
  • Mention storm damage season and how being easy to reach then brings urgent, well paid work.
  • Offer something that helps them win trust with homeowners, such as clear photos, surveys or reviews on their site.

Fields worth recording for roofers

Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for roofers.

FieldWhy it helps
Company nameThe key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website.
WebsiteNeeded to derive an email when the export has none.
Roof typesFlat, pitched, slate or metal work each pull in different suppliers.
Guarantee offeredFirms that offer written guarantees often work with specific material brands.
Service areaRoofers travel less far than you think, so region matters for any local offer.
Uses scaffoldingTells you whether they hire scaffolding or own it.

Questions people ask

Often yes, because a flat roof specialist and a slate roofer buy different materials. Add a Roof types field in your lead file and save a filter for each group.

Then email from domain has nothing to work from. Keep the record with its phone number, set the status to New and mark it with a tag so you can call instead.

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, office@ and enquiries@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
