In this episode of Roofing Road Trips®, host Heidi J. Ellsworth sits down with Gary Walpole from the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) to spotlight an issue that often flies under the radar on the jobsite: dust. As roofing work evolves, so do the risks. The NFRC's "Cut the Dust" campaign is bringing new attention to how everyday tasks can impact crew health, and why the industry is starting to take a closer look. This conversation explores what contractors should be thinking about right now, where dust risks are showing up most and how the campaign is helping shift the conversation around safety, planning and jobsite standards. For contractors looking to stay ahead of emerging safety expectations and protect their crews, this episode offers a timely look at why dust is becoming a bigger part of the roofing conversation.   Learn more at RoofersCoffeeShop.com!  https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/   Are you a contractor looking for resources?

Todd Miller of Isaiah Industries and co-host Ethan Young welcome Muhammad Faiz of Rise Roofers and host of the Roofing Millionaires podcast to discuss how he entered the roofing industry from Pakistan, his shift from ads and lead generation to helping roofers build emotionally resonant brands, and why many contractors lack marketing knowledge and a clear definition of growth.Faiz explains how purpose can serve as a decision filter amid overwhelming tech and platform choices, and how positioning helps contractors avoid competing solely on the lowest price. He shares why he started Roofing Millionaires as a non-promotional platform for veteran insights, highlights his favorite episodes, and describes client outcomes centered on clarity, fulfillment, and premium perception. In rapid-fire questions, he discusses a childhood English lesson, favorite foods, his view that roofing will return to relationship basics, and how to connect with him.Timestamps00:00 Welcome and Co-Host Intro00:41 Meet Muhammad Faiz02:16 Why Roofing Marketing04:19 From Pakistan to Freelance05:46 Rise Roofers Branding Focus09:27 Purpose Driven Growth11:09 Tech Noise and Clarity15:39 Positioning Beyond Price17:34 Why Start the Podcast24:34 Best Episodes to Start26:50 Client Transformations32:52 Faiz Personal Purpose35:45 How to Work Together38:03 Define Your Growth40:52 Rapid Fire Questions46:39 Connect and ClosingConnect with Muhammad OnlineFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/muhammadfaiz99For more Construction Disruption, listen on Apple Podcasts or YouTubeConnect with us on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedInThis episode was produced by Isaiah Industries, Inc.Construction Disruption was recently featured in this 15 Best Podcasts for Contractors list!This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp

One comfort advisor in Boise, Idaho. Here's how Cord Nichols sells the top-tier system — every time. Cord Nichols isn't a closer who shows up Friday with a quote book. He's a comfort advisor at Diamond Heating & Cooling in Boise, Idaho — and he's quietly sold roughly $17 million in residential HVAC, including $2.25 million last year alone. He's a 7x Crown Champion at CertainPath, the program's top sales tier. Cord didn't start in HVAC. His first sales job was door-to-door — security in his early twenties. He moved to Utah looking for a wife, found her, then sold solar door-to-door before the solar industry tightened in the mid-2010s. Wanting a trade he could "sink his teeth into" — and not be a one-trick pony — he approached Diamond cold. He'd never sold HVAC. But owners Rick and Sue Ellen hired him for his sales background. Today he's a Dave Ramsey debt-free dad of four (with a fifth on the way) who recently paid off his mortgage — all on residential HVAC sales. In this episode, Cord walks Bob Houchin through the exact playbook — every question he asks, every option he names, every word he uses — for turning a single in-home consultation into a top-tier HVAC sale. In this conversation, you'll discover: • The $17M reveal — and the on-camera moment where Bob puts the career number on record • Why Cord opens every options reveal by repeating the customer's own words back to them • The Kia-vs-Toyota framing he uses to explain tiered HVAC systems in 30 seconds • The "Is there any reason I can't ask for your business today?" close — and the three answers it always produces • Why Cord names options after the customer's hobbies (the "14-Point Buck" move) • The clipboard intro that disarms skeptical homeowners ("I'm just going to be taking some notes") • "I am your one throat to choke" — the post-sale handoff line that earns lifelong customers  Whether you're a comfort advisor working to break $2M for the first time, a sales manager building a residential HVAC playbook, or an owner trying to understand what consistent top-tier closing looks like — Cord's process is a masterclass in trust-first, conviction-led HVAC sales. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

After several years selling door-to-door (security in his early twenties, then solar in Utah and Idaho), Cord joined Diamond with zero HVAC experience and a strong sales background. He's now a 7x CertainPath Crown Champion with roughly $17 million in residential HVAC sales — including $2.25 million in his most recent year. He lives in Boise with his wife and four kids (with a fifth on the way) and recently paid off his mortgage as a Dave Ramsey debt-free family. Connect CertainPath: https://www.mycertainpath.com Show Notes The Successful Contractor Podcast is part of the CertainPath family.

You want to close like an artist?You need to understand the psychology of closing, not just regurgitate word-tracks or one-liners. That means knowing what's going through the mind of the prospect so you can guide them on the journey in a supportive and helpful way.Closing like an artist means having authentic, natural conversations that flow into earning a homeowner's business. I'll show you how without being inauthentic, sleazy, or pushy. P.S. If you want to increase your close rates, you'll likely want training, practice, and feedback.
