Podcasts about storm damage

Homeowners are now using AI to compare roof estimates.That means that AI could be advising your homeowners on which roofer to choose. And from the conversations I've been having, it sounds like this is becoming even more common. I wanted to know exactly what AI was saying to homeowners, so I ran the experiment myself.I fed three real roof estimates into ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini and I documented everything.Watch this new video to see my test results:1) The 7 things AI looks for when comparing roof estimates2) How estimates that don't include attic ventilation details get “red flagged”3) The specificity AI expects on warranties, flashing, ice & water shield, and more4) The details about the cleanup process that AI seems to want in an estimate5) The 3 common questions AI is prompting homeowners to ask their contractors (these were the most surprising to me)This emerging trend is actually great news for contractors who are willing to adapt.Because what AI flagged is very fixable. And if you adapt before your competitors do, your estimate could become the one AI points to as the winner.P.S. Are you interested in building an even stronger, more modern roofing company?

Leads are down.Marketing costs are up.And it feels like every week there's another roofing company willing to bid a roof for less than what you'd charge just to cover material and labor.Lots of roofers are asking the same question, "Where can I get more leads?"But what if I told you there's an easier way to drive sales without buying more leads?The leads aren't gone. They're hiding. And they're a lot closer than you think.Right now, sitting inside your CRM, there are real homeowners who showed interest and never said no. They just... went quiet. I sat down with my journal and mapped out 7 techniques I've tested over the years to create sales seemingly out of thin air. And I put it all into this brand new video for you.Here's a taste of what's inside:1) The simple rehash technique that re-injects life into cold opportunities (with word-for-word text templates you can use today)2) How to run a promotion or special offer that gives people a reason to act now3) A free offer reframe that excites homeowners to say yes even if they said no before4) How a true price increase notice can encourage people to take action today5) New payment plan messaging that opens doors for budget-conscious buyers6) A repair conversation opener that gets you back in the home with zero pressure7) How to revitalize old estimates with one simple question that closes dealsThese aren't complicated strategies.

Recent summer storms have left a lot of corn vulnerable across the region. If you've been out scouting wind damage over the last week and are trying to figure out what it means for your final stand, this episode is a must-watch. Today, Wendell sits down with Selena to break down how to accurately assess storm-damaged corn. We cover the cold, hard numbers behind green snap yield loss, how growth stages dictate recovery, and why certain common chemical passes might actually be making your stalks more brittle right now.

Virgil Schmidt from Iowa State Extension tells us what he's seeing in fields following storms this week packing big wind gusts. We have an impassioned discussion on the latest on Prop 12 with NPPC's Rob Brenneman. And we'll dive further in to that issues and others being tackled in Washington D.C. with Lydia Johnson at Agri-Pulse.

Kody had nearly $1M in revenue due that month when the phone started ringing…It was the solar companies calling - the same solar companies he was installing roofs for.They said they were having cashflow problems and couldn't pay what they owed.In a few short weeks, Kody was stiffed for $1M.Payroll was staring him in the face.His company owed more than he was bringing in.He had two choices.1. Figure out how to survive the cashflow crisis.2. Go out of business.Kody worked seemingly non-stop to save his company by focusing on one simple concept: Speed up cash coming in and slow down cash going out.He survived by focusing on using these 5 cash flow management practices.P.S. Behind most successful roofers is a story like Kody's. People just don't talk about it in the open. But when you are surrounded by a value-aligned community, you can be real, ask real questions, and get helpful advice. That's how we support each other inside the Roofing Strong Alliance™.

If you take roof pictures like this, they'll basically sell themselves.The problem is that many sales people don't know how to share them the best way.So they whip out their phone, scroll through dozens of photos, and tell the homeowner that the roof is absolutely destroyed and they need to buy a new roof immediately.The homeowner puts their guard up, and for good reason.Instead, you can use what Jon Broce calls the “i35” framework.i = Inspection3 = 3 Photos (in this exact order: Bad, Good, Worst)5 = 5 Questions The way Jon Broce explains this process is nothing short of brilliant.It puts the homeowner in control.They see the photos, understand them, take ownership of the condition, and choose what to do about it.Watch this new video to learn Jon Broce's “i35 Framework” and get your roof pictures selling themselves.P.S.

Most roofing contractors believe there are only two ways to sell a roof: 1) Get a lead. 2) Sit at the kitchen table. Kody Landals proved there's a third. After building a roofing company around solar partnerships, the industry shifted overnight.  More than $1 million in receivables got pushed out, cash flow tightened, and the business was staring down a major problem. Instead of doubling down on the traditional model, Kody built a system that allowed homeowners to buy roofs over the phone. No kitchen table. No 2-hour in-home presentations. No driving across town for every estimate. The result? His company scaled to over $2,000,000 per month in roofing sales while dramatically reducing operational complexity. In this interview, Kody breaks down: • The exact moment that forced him to reinvent his business • How he sells roofs without traditional in-home appointments • The process homeowners actually prefer today • The systems that made scaling possible • Where contractors could start if they want to test this model Whether you decide to implement phone sales or not, this conversation will challenge some assumptions you may have about how roofing companies can grow in today's market. P.S. Kody is teaching RSA Members how to sell roofs over the phone just like he did.

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. You can do that on your own, with your company, or with expert guidance. If you want expert guidance, I'd love to help. Learn more: https://rsa.pro/P.P.S. Did you see the news?

It's Thursday and that means it's time to catch up on politics with The Times-Picayune/New Orleans Advocate's editorial director and columnist, Stephanie Grace. We discuss Governor Landry's recent trip to Greenland and his less than warm welcome. We also hear what Senator Bill Cassidy has been up to in Congress following his primary defeat.Youth sports continue to face a shortage of referees. Football typically has the greatest need. Low pay combined with often unpleasant interactions with parents is keeping potential officials – particularly young people – at bay.Some states are enacting tougher laws to combat not just the harassment, but also the physical violence that has affected referees in the past.Eddie Allemore, New Orleans Regional Coordinator of Officials with the Louisiana High School Athletic Association, tells us more about the shortage issue and potential solutions.Summer is on its way. In Louisiana, that means the start of hurricane season. Many Louisianans plan their potential evacuations, and have to decide what to take and what to leave.

RSRA has officially joined the TAMKO family.I know that might raise some questions. To answer them before you have to ask, and to show you what this means for you moving forward.It started in 2021 when I had a wild dream… I wanted to find a partner who would offer sales training, resources, and community collaboration to their contractors. And they needed to help provide even more value and resources to contractors than I could do on my own. I didn't know who it would be, or how it would happen. But one thing I knew for sure - if I was going to stake my own name behind them, we had to be value-aligned. And access to the resources needed to continue to be by application-only so we could maintain the standard.In 2025 I shared the idea with Members to reach out to their manufacturer or distributor to see if they'd support, sponsor, or reimburse RSRA Membership dues. And it worked! Some Members shared success.So it led me to creating a new Sponsorship Offering that would allow a manufacturer or distributor to cover RSRA Membership for their contractors. The day I put the new offer together I picked up the phone and called my good friend Jon Abernathy. Jon Abernathy joined the TAMKO team about 2 years ago after building and selling a very successful roofing company. He was previously what I would consider a ‘loyalist' to a different manufacturer. But after he saw the shift in TAMKO's product development (Titan XT® shingles specifically), leadership, culture, and desire to create a wildly valuable contractor program, he literally sold his company to join the team because he was so passionate about creating positive transformation in the roofing industry. Since he joined TAMKO, Jon had been calling on me to get involved, but I initially refused. So when I called him, I figured this would be a good way to find out who was leading the TAMKO team and what they were actually about. It would give me a ‘behind the scenes' peek. Jon was ecstatic and set up a meeting right away. Then, this happened… In December 2025, I had a conversation with their leadership team pitching them the idea of this new sponsorship option they could offer RSRA to top tier The TAMKO Edge® contractors.Seemingly without hesitation they said yes. So we moved forward together with this sponsorship package (and you may have seen the announcement in December 2025). I walked away from that meeting with a feeling I'd never had before. Like I had found my people. TAMKO was building something special, and how we do business was wholly aligned. They did not allow bad actors in their program, emphasizing members that are a good fit. So did I. They wanted to be the best and not the biggest. So did I. They wanted to find ways to provide even more value and resources to help contractors grow. So did I. I knew they were going to be my new partner, even if they didn't know it yet. A couple weeks later I booked a flight to their corporate headquarters to meet with the leadership team so I could share my vision of how we could create the training & growth community the roofing industry has been needing.What unfolded was a series of strategic conversations about how we could bring this vision to life. Today I'm proud to announce the official acquisition of RSRA by TAMKO. We are joining forces, I'm joining the TAMKO team, and we are relaunching what was known as The Roofing & Solar Reform Alliance into something even more special… The Roofing STRONG Alliance by TAMKO™ Because your company is only as STRONG as you are. And that's what we will continue to do differently - focus on developing STRONG people. I'm grateful for our RSRA team, the entire TAMKO team, our Mentors John Senac, Dashaun Bryant, Kody Landals, Jim Ahlin, and two new Mentors Jon Abernathy and Jon Broce, because we are all aligned on how we can continue to serve at an even higher level. But most importantly, I'm grateful for you and the amazingly generous and supportive contractors in our community who share and support each other inside what is now known as RSA. So, what can you expect from me moving forward? I'll be continuing to lead the community! My new role at TAMKO is putting me in a position to take value creation to the next level. Making these resources free for The TAMKO Edge® contractors is a dream come true, and I'm equally as excited about being in a position to do even more and go even bigger because of the additional resources and support of a team who is equally as passionate as me.I couldn't be more excited about our future together! What This Means for YouAll existing memberships continue until December 31, 2027 no matter whose shingles you sell. Same community. Same standards. Starting January 1, 2028, membership will be exclusively available to The TAMKO Edge® contractors.  Even more value is coming. Merging TAMKO's resources with the team behind RSRA, the training, content, and community you rely on will only grow.RSA Membership is now FREE for The TAMKO Edge® contractors. The dream I had in 2021 came true! You Might Be Thinking… I recognize that the response to this news may come with mixed emotions from excitement to frustration, and I'd like to address the ‘elephant in the room' head on. “But I don't want to join TAMKO”I've developed deep friendships and relationships with many Members over the years, and I recognize that some folks may be upset by my decision to choose an exclusive partner. My love and care for you and your success remain as strong now as ever before.This was not a decision I made lightly. I hired expert advisors, consulted with my team, and most importantly, did lots of soul searching to create this outcome.RSRA had been approached by multiple interested parties, many of which I had spent hours meeting with as we vetted each other. I chose to pursue TAMKO as my partner because I felt spiritually called to, even though they weren't aware that other companies were interested. In my new role, I'll continue to lead RSA as well as help shape the future growth of TAMKO as Director of Market Development and Channel Strategy.My hope is that you at least consider a conversation with TAMKO so you can be your own judge of who they are today, and know that I respect your decision either way.“RSRA used to be agnostic.”Choosing a single manufacturer may seem like I've ‘gone back' on my desire to stay agnostic, and I'm excited about it because we can now provide even more specific training and resources that are ‘plug and play.' Plus, we will all be able to ‘speak the same language' and be on the same team. “Will the community still be vetted?” Yes! The caliber of contractor and community standards will continue to be upheld.“You sold out.”I expect a few people may think that, and that...

Getting less roofing leads from Google? You're not alone.It's not only ChatGPT…But because homeowners are sending AI Agents to do the research for them.Like finding roofers, pricing, financing, reviews, and even scheduling appointments.So if your website isn't ‘AI Agent Friendly,' the agent won't be able to interact with your website and give the homeowner what they want.I know this may sound far off, but the use of AI Agents is becoming the new normal.I sat down with Marcus Sheridan to learn the best practices.P.S. This is the new trend of lead generation in roofing. I invited Marcus Sheridan to help RSRA Members prepare their websites for it. He's hosting a guest session for us soon.

Fireman Jim's Storm Damage, His Top Disaster Movies, and How the Brewers JUST SMASHED Their Epic Power Drought! by 102.9 The Hog

In the debut of “St Louis Morning Brief,” Marc Cox and Kim St. Ange take a deeper look at severe storms that swept across the region, bringing tornado warnings, hail, fallen trees, structural damage, and widespread power outages. Kim reports more than 20,000 Ameren customers in St. Louis County remained without electricity, with additional outages across the Metro East. Marc recounts driving through multiple storm cells and sheltering in a Galleria parking garage to avoid hail. The segment also examines concerns over municipal warning sirens, whether alerts were too broad or properly timed, and how last year's deadly tornado has heightened anxiety whenever severe weather strikes the area.

Are you interested in creating a recurring revenue stream for your roofing company? Most roofers immediately think that the answer is with commercial sales, but that's where most roofers go wrong. In this interview with commercial roofing expert Cody Kline, you'll learn the simplest path to selling service contracts. And surprisingly, Cody recommends starting with residential sales (if that's your bread and butter) instead of commercial. Watch this interview to learn why and how. =============FREE TRAINING CENTERhttps://adamsfreestuff.com/ FREE ROOFING MARKET REPORT:https://roofmarketreport.com/JOIN THE ROOFING & SOLAR REFORM ALLIANCE (RSRA)https://www.rsra.org/join/ GET MY BOOKhttps://a.co/d/7tsW3Lx GET A ROOFING SALES JOBhttps://secure.rsra.org/find-a-job CONTACTEmail: help@rsra.orgCall/Text: 303-222-7133PODCASTApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3fSQiev Spotify: https://bit.ly/3eMAqJe Available everywhere else :)FOLLOW ADAM BENSMANhttps://www.facebook.com/adam.bensman/   https://www.facebook.com/RoofStrategist/ https://www.instagram.com/roofstrategist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@roofstrategist https://www.linkedin.com/in/roofstrategist/#roofstrategist #roofsales #d2d  #solar #solarsales #roofing #roofer #canvassing #hail #wind #hurricane #sales #roofclaim #rsra #roofingandsolarreformalliance #reformers #adambensman

A windstorm can be a nothing-burger for one house and a total mess for the next. We open with a real North Carolina damage story where a single tree managed to split a carport and detached garage almost perfectly, then use it to get practical about what homeowners should do before and after severe weather. Our goal is simple: help you spot roof damage early, avoid unsafe shortcuts, and make better decisions about repairs versus replacement.We walk through an easy pre-storm habit that can save you real money later: take date-stamped photos of all four sides of your home. Those baseline shots make it much easier to prove what changed after wind or hail and to avoid the “was that already there?” argument. From there, we dig into roof inspections, attic warning signs, and why it's worth having a qualified roofing contractor document what's happening up top, especially when you're thinking about a homeowners insurance claim.Then we get honest about the insurance side of roofing: storm chasers, manufactured damage, why claim history matters, how deductibles should guide your decision, and how depreciation and recoverable depreciation typically work. We also shift into materials and craftsmanship, including shingle brand comparisons, what modern roof warranties really mean, and how installer details like starter strips, ridge caps, pipe boots, and valley protection can decide how long your roof lasts. If you're choosing GAF shingles, comparing CertainTeed and Owens Corning, or just trying to pick the right shingle color, you'll leave with better questions to ask and fewer regrets later.If this helped, subscribe, share the show with a homeowner friend, and leave a quick review so more people can find practical roofing advice when the next storm rolls through.

Sales professionals are artists because every word they use paints pictures in the prospect's mind.That's what separates amateurs who think that because they are ‘good with people' or a ‘smooth talker' from true professionals. After personally selling, marketing, and training sales people for the last 15 years, I have analyzed and tested different words and phrases to discover something very interesting. There are 11 words that strengthen close rates, and I explain why in this new video.I am sharing this to inspire you to become a more effective and intentional communicator. P.S.

On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli, the President and CEO of the ONE Campaign. They discuss how the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development has impacted the African continent, the opportunities this shifting landscape creates for the emergence of African-led solutions, and the innovative women spearheading food and agriculture systems transformation. Plus, hear about the recent extension of the African Growth and Opportunity Act, severe storm damage in Portugal and Spain causing hundreds of millions of euros in agricultural losses, new recommendations from the World Resources Institute for retailers to help reduce household food waste, and a looming strike at the JBS meatpacking plant in Colorado over alleged inhumane working conditions. Dani also discusses GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, noting their complex and under-researched impact on people with eating disorders, including both potential benefits and serious risks.
