Step Seven
Final Measurements:
Purpose: To be able to present a factual product package
Prior to heading into the negotiation, it is wise to have all your measurements verified and provide a cost on factual measurements
In order to allow yourself time to finalize measurements and strategize, it is wise to step away from the presentation, do one final lap to make sure everything’s in order and nothing is missed that could result in a situation where the project price presented is over discounted.
During this time, it is also a good time to review the pain points presented from the customer. Structure packages appropriately to address all issues detected and communicated during the presentation
If the sales representative finds them in a situation where the digital measurements are not complete or did not generate, it is wise to hard measure the building and add a waste factor to the final measurements Typical waste factors could range from 5% to 15% waste factor, depending on the complexity of the roofing system
*A 10X10 section equalling 100 square feet is considered 1 square of roofing surface
For example: Considering the sales representative is not at a home that is considered a Gable Roof
Gable Roof
This home would be hard measured at 28 LF X 60 LF= 1680 sq feet
Total square count with 0 waste factor = 17 squares
With 5% waste factor = 18 squares
This project can run at a total square count of 18 squares of new roofing materials.
