The journey from the pre-sale to post-completion of a roofing project entails many steps with the pre-sales phase playing a big role in setting projects up for success. This is where a well-organized administrative (admin) team becomes invaluable, providing a strategic edge through detailed organization, precision, and efficiency in handling essential tasks. From initial measurements to the final agreement, let's explore how a remote admin team can profoundly impact the pre-sales process, streamlining operations and fostering strong customer relationships.

Ordering Measurements: Laying the Groundwork

Research by McKinsey & Company on the construction sector's digitization indicates that technological solutions can enhance productivity by 14 to 15 percent and reduce project costs by 4 to 6 percent.

• Utilizing Advanced Platforms: By harnessing tools like Roofr, Eagleview, Roofscope, Quickmeasure Gaf, Pitchgauge, and more, the admin team ensures accuracy from the start.
• Streamlining Processes: Efforts are focused on making the measurement process as efficient and convenient as possible, saving time and reducing errors.
• Creating DIY Reports: With expertise in report creation, the team prepares comprehensive DIY reports, further enhancing project accuracy and readiness.

Providing Estimates: Crafting a Clear Financial Picture

A study by Software Advice found that contractors who provide detailed estimates within 48 hours of the initial customer inquiry have a conversion rate up to 25% higher than those who delay their estimates. 

• Accurate Pricing: The team translates information from measurement reports into detailed estimates, ensuring that pricing reflects the project's true scope.
• Seamless Communication: Estimates are promptly sent to homeowners, sales reps, or insurance companies, focusing on clear and professional exchanges.
• Expedited Approvals: Through efficient handling, the team aids in obtaining necessary approvals, keeping the project timeline on track.
• Creating Contracts: Formalizing Agreements
• Preparation and Clarity: Contracts are meticulously prepared using gathered information, ensuring they are clear, transparent, and reflective of agreed terms.
• Efficient Approval Process: The team manages the approval process, sending contracts to homeowners for review and diligently following up.
• Addressing Concerns: By proactively addressing questions or concerns, the admin team helps finalize agreements with confidence and mutual understanding.

Leads: Nurturing Potential Projects

A Salesforce study highlighted that 78% of customers expect to interact with a company in real time. Promptness in initial contact not only meets these expectations but can significantly influence customer perception and decision-making.

• Prompt Initial Contact: Reaching out to leads quickly is crucial for establishing a positive first impression and initiating communication. 
• CRM Integration: Leads are systematically entered into a CRM system, enabling efficient tracking and management.
• Assigning and Follow-Up: Assigning leads to appropriate sales reps and ensuring diligent follow-ups fosters lead engagement, potentially converting inquiries into projects.
