innovative ways to grow your gutter company's profits

Our gutter clients were nice enough to sit down with us and give their advice on how to maximize gutter profits so that companies in other states struggling to compete with national brands could go from competing to dominating in as little as 6-9 months.

Choose your gutter lane

You can dominate all markets at the same time unless you have endless marketing and employees that service those leads. So pick a gutter lane! Ask yourself these questions:

• Who is buying from you right now?
• Can I beat my competitors in that specific gutter niche?
• How can I beat them in that niche?
• Where can I beat them in that niche? City, neighborhood, be specific.

The Shingle Roof Gutter Master

If you are getting shingle roof gutter installations, that's great, your marketing and referrals should double down on shingle roof gutter installation and shingle roof gutter guards. Secondly, you can work a partnership with a small shingle roofer and together you can refer clients to one another. Build your customers, build your network and grow.

The #1 Gutter Guard or Cleaner

If you're a master at gaining gutter guards and/or gutter cleaning, your overall revenues will be lower but your profitability much higher. It's a catch 22, right? So why even compete with gutter installations. Why not just add gutter sealing and repairs. You can dominate the Yelp market and Next Door with this approach.

Add gutter guards

Whether you perform gutter installations, gutter cleaning, or both, gutter guards are a 20-year investment by homeowners that are easy to install and a bigger one-time payout. There are a lot of different kinds of gutter guards out there, but our Client's Green Gutter Screens is by far the most durable and cost effective for both you and your customers. By adding Gutter Guards you could gain $2,000 to $4,000 per client. Multiply that by 2-5 clients a month and you're adding significant revenues and profits. Interested in Gutter Guards, click here.

Drones can be used for many sales and operational benefits

Here are the top 3 reasons to use a Drone for sales, estimates, marketing, and operations:

Film project videos

Before and after videos of the home you installed gutters with or cleaned is a great way to show the entire home's look and feel before and after you help them.

Using it for Installation

By using a drone to go up on a roof you can quickly look at roof slope, damages to roofs and gutters, and plot your course of action without stepping a foot on a bad roof and falling into the garage!

Scout Nearby Homes

While you are filming your before and after, get a sneak peak at other homes and see their gutter needs. Once you're done with the current job, knock on some doors.

Level of Professionalism

Imagine a homeowner seeing that you use state of the art technology, avoiding risk, and getting the job done faster. You just upped your gutter game.

Quality Checks

Check on your work, check on employees, and even load up the drone with a hammer or tools to bring down to other personnel. The usages are endless.

This might seem "out there", but a lot of homeowners have gardens right? Why not create a full water drainage system that stores water for their vegetable garden and secures the safety of their foundation. By running the downspout into a near water jug you make the green thumbs happy and the survivalists happy too. Plus, you get to charge for the extra linear feet of the downspout. Bet you didn't see that one coming did ya?

Hiring and Initial Training

Build a simple system to where you can quickly train and test your gutter team members on the types of gutters in the market, which you install, which you carry in stock versus those you have to buy and wait for, what colors of gutters you provide, how the machines work and get them certified to use them, your cities you service, and then how to gain referrals from their personal network. The faster the company grows and the more involved they are the higher the employee retention will be.

Use Employees for Multiple References, Referrals, and Sales

You can drastically reduce your marketing spend by having your employees help you gain 5-star reviews with amazing customer service and guttering skills. Build a plan like the one down below to incentivize them to help grow the company.

gutter training and employee retention

QuickBooks is a great way to track financials but to manage clients, it sucks. Now imagine your team having an iPad onsite going through checklists, getting reviews, recording information, collecting full payment with a single click and even getting referrals.

Imagine if your clients could get estimates and invoices via text or email, they could log into your site and book future maintenance needs or upgrades like additional gutters or gutter guards. All of this is possible with our CRM. If you would like a full demo, we'd be happy to present you with one.
