A roofer role model should be someone the average contractor can relate to.
Finding good role models can be tough and finding roofing role models is no exception to the rule. What should a roofing contractor role model look like? A lot of trucks? Maybe a second-generation son who attended Harvard and now has turned Dad’s business to a powerhouse? I think not. A roofer role model should be someone the average contractor can relate to – an honest, hard working person who has carved out some success in the world of nails and squares. For 2001, I would like to focus on stories where success is real and as readers you can see yourself obtaining the same goals.
