Description

Most roofing companies keep their top sales rep… even when they destroy the team’s spirit.

Not Elijah.

In this video, you’ll hear how Elijah and his partners took a small mom-and-pop roofing company doing $700K… and turned it into a multi-eight-figure powerhouse in just 2 years.

He did it by putting culture over profits.

You’ll see why firing the “best” rep was the smartest move they ever made. And how it built a place where reps want to stay, grow, and even retire.

Watch to learn:
✅ Why having 6 owners was the secret sauce
✅ How to build a team that WANTS to follow you
✅ Why paying salaries, 401Ks, and giving trucks keeps reps loyal
✅ How caring more about people than profits makes you MORE money

Roofing sales doesn’t have to be cutthroat. You can build something great—without burning everyone out.
