Welcome to Roofer Growth Hacks by RoofingSites.com. In Season 4, Episode 5, Chris Hunter dives into how to build a scalable Roofing Referral Machine that turns happy customers, realtors, and insurance pros into steady, high-intent leads. From $250 customer incentives and handwritten thank-you notes to cookie/brownie boxes with QR codes, monthly newsletters, and storm-season campaigns, Chris lays out the referral systems and scripts that keep your phone ringing—without burning cash on cold traffic.
Chris Hunter explains how the 4R Roofing Marketing System focuses this episode on the Referral Pillar, showing you how to create 100+ active referrers (the “33×3” method), segment customers by lifecycle (recent, established, legacy), and stay top-of-mind year-round. You’ll also learn when and where incentives are appropriate (customers) and how to collaborate with realtors and insurance partners within industry guidelines.
