You've put in a solid effort, but let’s be real: hovering around a score of 5.6 means you’ve got some work to do. You demonstrate a commendable understanding of the importance of addressing customer concerns with tailored solutions, particularly when discussing the warranty and the longevity of your roofing materials. However, your responses often lack the depth and detail needed to truly engage and persuade prospects.
A consistent pattern in your performance indicates that while you’re starting to grasp the concepts of consultative and solution selling, your responses often fall short on specificity. You need to dig deeper into metrics, customer testimonials, and unique selling points that can set you apart from competitors. Additionally, the absence of follow-up questions in several responses shows a missed opportunity for deeper engagement and discovery.
To elevate your game, focus on honing your skills in Value Selling and the AIDA Model. These techniques will help you articulate the unique benefits of your offerings more clearly and guide your prospects through the decision-making process effectively.
Here’s a coaching moment for you: every interaction with a prospect is a chance to build a relationship, not just a transaction. Approach each conversation with a mindset of curiosity and collaboration. Ask questions that not only show you care about their needs but also position you as a trusted advisor. That’s where the magic happens.

/ 10Question:
"I'm concerned about the overall value of your roofing solution compared to my current vendor; what sets you apart?"
Answer:
What sets legacy apart is that we work with our clients collaboratively and tailor a solution specific to want our clients want and need. It is mot a 1 size fits all solution
Feedback:
Your response does a decent job of addressing the concern about value by emphasizing collaboration and tailored solutions, which is a good start. However, it lacks specificity about what differentiates your roofing solution from competitors. Consider incorporating metrics, customer testimonials, or unique features that demonstrate the value of your offering. Also, the phrase 'mot a 1 size fits all solution' seems to have a typo—make sure to communicate clearly. Asking a follow-up question to understand the prospect's current vendor's offerings could also enhance your discovery process. Overall, good intent but needs more clarity and detail to effectively persuade.

/ 10Question:
"How can I be sure that the quality of your materials won't lead to future repair costs?"
Answer:
We provide a 15 year workmanship warranty. We stand behind our work!
Feedback:
While the response does address the concern about quality by offering a warranty, it lacks depth in exploring the customer's perspective and doesn't provide enough information about the materials themselves. It would be more effective to explain the quality of the materials used and how they contribute to longevity and reduced repair costs. Additionally, incorporating a question to uncover any specific past experiences or concerns about material quality would show active listening and curiosity. Overall, while the warranty is a good start, it could be complemented with more detail and engagement to reassure the prospect.
Consider enhancing your response with a brief overview of the materials and perhaps a customer testimonial to reinforce trust.
Score: 5/10 for addressing the warranty but lacking a comprehensive approach to quality assurance.

/ 10Question:
"Given our tight budget, can you justify the ROI of your roofing solution over cheaper alternatives?"
Answer:
Yes. Our metal roofing solution/system has a life expectancy of 40 years. Which means less maintenance and less of a need to replace the roof. In addition, we offer a 15 year workmanship warranty
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the objection by highlighting the long-term benefits of the metal roofing solution, such as its durability and lower maintenance costs. However, it could further enhance the justification of ROI by quantifying the potential savings compared to cheaper alternatives, such as estimating the total cost of ownership over a 40-year period. Additionally, including a brief mention of the warranty as a value add is good, but it would be more impactful if tied to the overall investment return. Curiosity could also be demonstrated by asking the prospect about their current roof situation or budget constraints, which might help tailor the conversation further. Overall, the tone is appropriate for the roofing industry, but it lacks a bit of depth in the ROI explanation.
Score: 7.

/ 10Question:
"Our team is already overwhelmed with ongoing projects; how quickly can you implement your roofing solution?"
Answer:
For commercial jobs, we help facilitate the project from start to finish which takes about 1 to 2 weeks
Feedback:
While your response provides a quick timeframe for implementation, it misses the opportunity to address the prospect's concern about their team's current overwhelm. A more effective response would have acknowledged their busy situation and asked questions to further understand their needs and priorities. It would also be beneficial to highlight how your solution can alleviate some of their burdens during this busy period. Overall, the response was too brief and didn't engage the prospect in a collaborative manner.
Consider employing a consultative approach by asking, "I understand your team is busy; what would be the most helpful for you during this time?" This would have shown empathy and curiosity, leading to a better dialogue.
Score: 4

/ 10Question:
"I'm worried about how this new roofing system will integrate with our existing infrastructure; can you provide clarity on that?"
Answer:
Yes, the new roofing system will lay over the top of your old roofing system. Therefore, it will avoid any unnecessary tearing of of material, and keep your roof intact for the layover.
Feedback:
The response addresses the concern about integration by explaining that the new roofing system can be installed over the existing one, which is a relevant solution. However, it lacks depth in exploring potential implications and benefits of this approach, such as durability or warranty concerns. There’s no follow-up question to engage the prospect further, which misses an opportunity for discovery. The communication is clear, but the tone could be slightly more reassuring and collaborative. To improve, consider adding a question to understand their specific infrastructure concerns better and perhaps share testimonials or case studies to build trust. Overall, it was a good start but could have used more engagement and solution exploration.

"With so many options available, how do I know your company will still be in business five years from now?"
Answer:
We have been in business for 8 years, and are continuing my to grow. We just opened up our 2nd office, and looking. To open up a 3rd. We are here to stay!
Feedback:
The response addresses the objection by providing information about the company's longevity and growth, which is relevant to the prospect's concern. However, it lacks depth in exploring the implications of the prospect's worry about stability. A more effective response could include an emphasis on customer satisfaction, testimonials, or warranties that demonstrate reliability. Additionally, the communication could benefit from correcting typos and ensuring clarity. There was no closing technique used to move the conversation forward. Overall, the answer shows some effort but misses the opportunity for deeper engagement and value exploration.

/ 10Question:
"I've had a bad experience with past roofing projects; how do I know this will be different?"
Answer:
Communication is key and of the upmost
Importance. Whether good or bad, my team and I will over communicate all project details to you in a timely manner.
With communication you will be informed every step of the way!
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the concern about past experiences by emphasizing the importance of communication, which is crucial in the roofing industry. However, it could have further explored the prospect's specific past issues to demonstrate active listening. A more empathetic tone acknowledging their frustration would also enhance rapport. Additionally, a closing technique could have been employed to encourage further discussion or commitment. Overall, it's a good start but lacks depth in curiosity and solution exploration.

/ 10Question:
"What guarantees can you provide regarding post-purchase support if we encounter issues with the roofing?"
Answer:
15 year workmanship guarantee!
Feedback:
The response provides a specific guarantee of 15 years on workmanship, which is a good start. However, it lacks depth in addressing the customer's concern about post-purchase support. To strengthen the response, it would be beneficial to elaborate on what the guarantee covers, how the support process works, and any additional services offered after installation. This would demonstrate a commitment to customer service and build trust. Also, incorporating a question to further understand the customer's concerns could enhance engagement and show active listening. Overall, while the basic information is presented, it feels a bit transactional without a collaborative or solution-focused approach.
Score: 5

"I need to discuss this with various stakeholders who are resistant to change; how can you help me address their concerns?"
Answer:
We can set up an in person meeting where my team and I can present our proposal, and answer all questions that your stakeholders may have!
Feedback:
The response provided is a good start, as it offers a meeting to address stakeholders' concerns. However, it lacks deeper engagement with the objection itself. A more effective approach could involve asking questions to understand the specific concerns of the stakeholders and demonstrating empathy towards their resistance to change. This would build rapport and show that you are willing to collaborate. Additionally, highlighting the value of your solution and how it can alleviate their concerns would strengthen your position. Overall, while the offer for a meeting is positive, it could benefit from a more consultative and exploratory approach.
Score: 5

/ 10Question:
"We're facing some urgent priorities elsewhere; can you help me understand why this roofing project should take precedence?"
Answer:
Roofs are often over looked and typically the last part of a property that is inspected during quarterly or annual property assessments. Due to such many small leaks or issues are overlooked, which then turn into larger significant issues over time. Lastly, roof issues and leaks that are not addressed promptly can turn into structural damage and increase in utility bills.
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the objection by highlighting the importance of roofing maintenance and the potential consequences of neglecting it. However, it could be improved by directly acknowledging the prospect's urgency and emphasizing how prioritizing the roofing project can ultimately save them time and money in the long run. A question to explore their specific priorities could also enhance the discovery process and demonstrate active listening. Overall, while informative, the response lacks a collaborative approach and a clear closing technique to encourage further discussion or action.
