The Roofing Accelerator by The Call Center Doctors

Your CEO, cloned

You are the business, and every call, text and email still waits for you. Sarah is your full-time assistant: a roofing virtual assistant for your work, not the office's. She makes your calls, texts and emails and takes 50% of the work off your plate.

Made with AI

A phone glowing on a bedside table late at night

You are the business -- and the business is wearing you out

Every call, every text, every email and every decision still finds its way to one phone. Yours.

Made with AI

The first text lands before the crews roll out. A homeowner wants to know when the crew is coming back. By mid-morning an adjuster wants a call about a supplement, a supplier has emailed about a short delivery, and two estimates are waiting for your name.

By dinner you have returned most of the calls and almost none of the emails. At nine at night the phone lights up again, because the homeowner who could not reach anyone else knows the one number that always answers: yours.

You are the business. That is how the company got built, and it is why it grew. It is also why it has stopped growing as fast as it should: a company that waits on one person grows at the speed of that person's week. In storm season, you know exactly how long that week is.

So you go looking for help. Maybe you have searched for a roofing virtual assistant. What comes back is a list of agencies that will rent you someone to enter data, schedule jobs and answer the office inbox from a template. That is useful work. It is not the work that keeps you up at night.

The calls, texts and emails that wear you out are the ones that need you: the homeowner who asked for the boss, the supplier waiting on a decision, the email only you know how to word. A task assistant cannot handle them, because nobody ever wrote down how you handle them.

That is where we start. We clone your CEO's process. Then Sarah handles them for you.

What it costs when everything waits for you

None of these costs shows up as one number. All of them come out of your profit.

Being the only person who can answer is expensive. The bill just arrives in pieces, and none of them has its own line on your statements.

  • The callback that waits for Thursday

    39% of homeowners expect to hear from a roofer the same day; 56% expect it within one to two days.1 A callback that waits for you to get off a roof can become a job signed by whoever called first.

  • The estimate nobody chased

    Only 16% of roofing contractors consistently follow up with homeowners the same day on unsold estimates.2 When every follow-up needs your voice, most of them wait until you have time, and some never happen.

  • The days off you stopped taking

    61% of small business owners take just five business days off a year.3 When the phone only works in your hand, a week away costs you jobs, so you stop taking the week.

  • The sleep you trade for it

    82% of entrepreneurs lost sleep in the past year over work; 61% of them over money worries.4 The late emails and the early texts are not a badge. They are a sign the company has nobody else to call.

  • The price a buyer takes off

    If every relationship runs through your phone, a buyer sees a company that may walk out the door with you, and pays less for it. The numbers are further down this page.

  • The growth you never get to

    Every hour spent returning a routine call is an hour not spent on the decisions only the owner can make: which market to push into, which bid to chase, which deal to turn down.

Meet Sarah: the CEO's full-time assistant

The assistant who makes the calls you would have made, from a written copy of how you make them.

Made with AI

Sarah is the CEO's full-time assistant. She makes the CEO's calls, texts and emails and takes 50% of the work off your plate.

That is the whole difference. A task assistant sorts your inbox and hands the hard part back to you. Sarah takes the hard part: she makes the calls, sends the texts and writes and sends the emails, as a full-time personal assistant. In plain words, she is an AI assistant that makes phone calls for the owner.

She works from the way you already run your company, written down, which is why the next section matters so much.

Sarah is AI. She never pretends to be a person, and she does not run your company. You keep final say.

That honesty is a rule, not a line of small print. If someone sincerely asks, she tells them the truth. She never claims to be human, and she never needs to.

You do not have to take our word for any of it. Call (844) 766-3535 and Sarah answers, qualifies you and books your strategy call, or sets up a call back with our team. On that line she works from our playbook; on your account she works from yours. Listen to how she sounds, how she listens and how she handles a hard question. Then decide for yourself whether you want her making your calls.

We learn your whole process first

Before Sarah makes a single call for you, we write down how you would make it.

A clone is only as good as what it copies. So the work does not start with software. It starts with you.

We become your CEO with you. We clone your CEO's process and remove 50% of the work from his plate.

Cloning your process means we sit with you and go through how you really run the company: which calls you return first, what you say to a homeowner who is upset, how you talk to an adjuster about a supplement, which estimates you approve and which you send back, and what you will never agree to.

Then we write it down. Every answer you give the same way twice becomes a written step. Every judgment call gets a rule, or gets marked as yours to keep. That written playbook is what Sarah and your team work from, and it belongs to your company.

It is the same audit we run across the whole company. We audit and rewrite every process in the company from the ground up. We examine every role and automate it. Your role is one of them, and it is usually the one carrying the most weight. If someone helps you with calls and email today, what happens to that role is one of the big calls, and the big calls are yours. See how we audit and automate every process.

We've worked with over 1,500 roofing companies. That is where the questions we ask you come from. The answers have to be yours, because your customers know how you do business.

50% of the work off your plate

The math, in your own hours.

Made with AI

Take the promise apart the way a CFO would. It only matters if it turns into hours you get back and money you keep.

Use a pen and one real week, not a good one. Every number below is one you can count yourself.

The last step is the one owners forget. The hours you get back pay you every week. A company that no longer needs you on every call pays you once more, on the day you sell.

LineWhat it isThe formulaWhy it matters
1Count the week you have nowhours on calls + hours on texts + hours on emails + hours on decisions that wait for you = your weekCount all of it, including the calls in the truck and the emails after dinner. It is rarely added up, because it never stops long enough to count.
2Count it again, and compareyour week before minus your week once Sarah is working = the hours that came back to youWe clone your CEO's process and remove 50% of the work from his plate. Do not take the half on our word: count your week before we start, count it again once Sarah is working from your playbook, and compare the two.
3Put those hours where only you canhours back x what one of your hours is worth on a big decision, a big sale or a key relationshipAn hour spent returning a routine call is worth what a routine call is worth. The same hour spent on a large commercial bid, a new market or a key hire is worth far more. You know that number better than anyone.
4Count what faster answers are worthcalls and messages answered sooner x your close rate x your average jobFirms that contact a lead within an hour are nearly 7 times as likely to qualify it as firms that wait even one hour longer -- and over 60 times as likely as firms that wait 24 hours.5 Speed has a price, and you pay it every time a call waits for you.
5Add the value of a company that runs without youthe same profit x a higher multiple = a larger check when you sellBuyers multiply EBITDA (your yearly profit before interest, taxes and a few accounting items) by a number that measures risk. A company that needs its owner on every call is the riskiest kind, and the multiple shows it.

Your calls, texts and emails, handled the way you would

Same priorities. Same lines you never cross. And she never pretends to be you.

The fear is fair. An assistant who sounds nothing like you, promises something you would never promise, or answers a customer you would have called yourself.

That is why the playbook comes first. Sarah works from how you run the company, written down: who gets a call back first, what a homeowner hears about timing, what an adjuster is sent and when, and what gets passed to you instead of answered.

Now run the morning at the top of this page again, with the playbook in place. The messages your playbook hands to Sarah go out without waiting for you to get back to the truck. The two estimates that need your name still come to you, because your playbook says they do. Same day, same people, and far less of it waits for you.

Homeowners want a voice, not a form. When homeowners reach out to a roofer, most prefer a phone call (56%).1 So when a homeowner asks for the owner, Sarah can call back the way your playbook says, and the call does not wait for you to climb down off a roof. She calls people who asked to hear from you, and anyone who says stop is never contacted again.

Speed is worth real money. Calling a lead within 5 minutes instead of 30 makes contact 100 times more likely and qualification 21 times more likely.6 When every call waits for the owner, every call is late.

The big calls still come to you, and you decide where the line between routine and big sits. That line is written into your playbook, so nobody has to guess what you would want.

The company's own inbound calls are a separate job, covered on every inbound call answered and every lead followed up.

A roofing virtual assistant, or your process cloned

Both save you time. Only one takes the owner's work.

An executive assistant for a business owner is real help, whether you hire one, rent a virtual executive assistant or buy an AI executive assistant app. Most are set up the same way: the assistant takes the tasks around your work and hands the work itself back to you.

The difference, row by row:

What changesThe usual wayWith The Roofing Accelerator
What comes off your plateData entry, scheduling and inbox sortingThe CEO's calls, texts and emails
Who makes the hard callsYou do, after the assistant hands them backSarah makes them, the way your playbook says

What a buyer seesThe same owner-run company, with helpA company that runs without the owner on every call

We become your CEO with you

A partner inside your company, running the day-to-day with you, not advising from outside.

Owners question that line harder than any other, so here is what it means. We do not advise from outside and leave you with homework. We step into the company and carry the day-to-day with you.

Sarah is one part of it. The rest of the load moves off your desk too: the sales team, the appointments, every inbound call and follow-up, the books, the back office and the exit plan, run side by side with you.

The books are the clearest example. Audit-ready, exit-ready books. We close your books by the 5th of the month for the month prior. You stop being the person who chases the numbers and become the person who reads them. The full plan is in exit-ready books and every penny tracked.

The people side moves as well. Cut back-office costs up to 30% with our nearshore team in Monterrey and Guadalajara. Nearshore means our team next door in Mexico. Recruiting, training and your contracts are covered in the nearshore back office, recruiting and training.

What stays with you is the part nobody should clone: where the company is going, the relationships you choose to keep, and the big decisions. Those were always the job. Everything else was just in the way.

What a company that does not need you is worth

The hours come back every week. The value shows up once, on the day you sell.

Nearly 90% of a business owner's wealth is trapped inside the company.7 If that describes you, the price a buyer puts on your company is the most important number you will ever hear.

Buyers price risk, and the biggest risk in a founder-run roofing company is the founder. Roofing M&A advisors put owner-dependent roofing companies at 3-4X EBITDA, companies with a management team at 5-6X, and systemized companies with the owner in a strategic role at 7X+.8 Your exit is worth 2x less.

Transition risk alone can create valuation gaps of 40-75% between similar roofing companies.8 Transition risk is the buyer's fear that the company slips the day the owner steps away. A cloned process, a written playbook and an assistant already making the owner's calls are how you shrink that fear.

We help you exit in 3 years or less and build everything to exit, end to end. If you would rather keep the company or hand it to your family, the same work raises its value either way. See getting your roofing company ready to sell.

And when the agreement ends, the clone stays. You keep the written playbook and every process we wrote down; they belong to your company, so they go with it when you sell. Sarah keeps making the CEO's calls, texts and emails, on a plan.

Your numbers: profit today, and value when you sell

Hours back are yours to count. This is the money side.

Type in your own leads, close rate, average job and margin. You will see an estimate of your yearly revenue and profit at those numbers, and what the company could be worth at a founder-run multiple and at a systemized one.

The multiples it uses come from the source cited on this page. Everything else comes from you.

It is a planning range, not an appraisal or an offer.

Who stands behind Sarah and your playbook

These are our own numbers, stated by our founder, Jason Shouldice. He puts his own name on this offer, and in his letter he says it in one line: "I will personally be your CEO."

Read the full letter from Jason Shouldice on the main page, or write to him directly: [email protected].

The line Sarah answers for us is the one printed on this page. Call it before you believe a word of the rest.

  • We've worked with over 1,500 roofing companies.

    Jason Shouldice, founder
  • We spend $150,000 a day on Google roofing leads and book hundreds of roofing appointments every day.

    Jason Shouldice, founder

A wildly profitable company, not just a busier one

Taking half the work off your plate is worth a lot. It is worth more when the company behind it makes real money.

One-third of roofing contractors report EBITDA margins between 6% and 15%.2 That is the industry's number, not ours, and it is why a bigger roofing company is not always a richer one.

Not a thin $5M-$10M. A wildly profitable $5M-$10M.

We will squeeze every last penny out of every last thing in your business.

The margin levers are concrete. Unlimited sales at a fixed cost per acquisition. Real-time AI analytics, so you know where every penny is at all times. We collect your cash for you. Add the back-office saving and the hours Sarah gives back, and every lever points at the same place: profit you keep.

The guarantee covers new business. Profit comes from the work we do together on every margin lever, and we show you that math line by line.

The promise we put our name to is printed below, with every condition spelled out.

You keep final say on every big call

Handing over the day-to-day is not handing over the company.

The first fear every owner has about an assistant who makes his calls is losing control of the company he built. It is the right fear, so here is the rule we work by.

You keep final say. We run day-to-day. Every week you get a CEO report, and you approve the big calls.

The report shows your company in plain numbers, every week, so nothing that shapes it is decided behind your back.

Your name stays on the trucks. Your relationships stay yours. Your crews still answer to you. What changes is how much of all of it depends on your hours.

We are doing this together.

The first 90 days: the Winter Sprint

Winter is around the corner. Prepare now.

The slow months are when you rebuild the engine, so it is running before the next storm season.

The cloning work starts with the audit: we sit with you, write down how you run the company, and build the playbook Sarah and your team work from. Around it, the Winter Sprint runs in a fixed order.

  1. Weeks 1-2

    Phones, CRM and reactivation

    Phones, CRM and reactivation wired in. The first calls and texts to stop waiting for you are the ones where money leaks today.

  2. Weeks 3-6

    Closers and AI coaching

    Closers and AI coaching. The big jobs stop waiting for you to be free to close them. See how we hire, train and run your closers.

  3. Weeks 7-13

    The full appointment flow

    The full appointment flow, and books closed by the 5th. The company runs on the written process, and you read it in your weekly report instead of carrying it in your head.

Every week you wait, the company still runs through you

Life is short. None of us is promised tomorrow. Why wait a day?

70% of the companies put on the market do not sell; 50% of exits will be involuntary.7 Involuntary means something outside your control forces the sale, and the timing is not yours. A company that only runs through your phone is the hardest kind to hand over on short notice.

You did not start a roofing company to be the one part of it that can never take a week off.

The calls you return tonight will need returning again next week. That does not change until the process comes out of your head and onto paper, and someone else starts making the calls.

Questions about Sarah and the cloned process

Can AI be used as an executive assistant?

Yes, for the work that follows a pattern you can write down. With an AI assistant, professionals finished writing tasks 40% faster and quality rose 18%.9 On this offer, Sarah is the CEO's full-time assistant. She makes the CEO's calls, texts and emails and takes 50% of the work off your plate. What she handles, and what comes to you, is written into your playbook.

Will AI completely replace executive assistants?

Nobody can honestly promise that either way. Current AI and other technologies could automate work that takes up 60-70% of employees' time today.10 That is potential, not a promise. In a roofing company the useful question is narrower: which of the owner's calls and messages follow a pattern you can write down. Those are the ones Sarah makes. The judgment calls, the handshakes and the big decisions stay with people, and the big calls stay with you.

What does a roofing virtual assistant do?

A typical roofing virtual assistant does tasks: data entry, scheduling, answering the office inbox from a template, updating the CRM. That frees up some hours in the office. Sarah works one level up. She makes the CEO's calls, texts and emails and acts as a full-time personal assistant, working from a playbook written from how you run the company. The difference is whose work comes off the plate: the office's, or the owner's.

Do roofing companies use virtual assistants?

Yes. Plenty of agencies place virtual assistants with roofing companies and other contractors, mostly for office tasks: data entry, scheduling, the inbox and the CRM. The owner's own calls, texts and emails usually stay with the owner, because nobody ever wrote down how he makes them. That is the part we clone. We learn your whole process first, write it into a playbook, and Sarah works from it.

How is this different from a virtual assistant agency?

An agency places someone who takes instructions. You still decide what to hand over, explain how you want it done and check the work. We learn your whole process first and write it down. We clone your CEO's process and remove 50% of the work from his plate. And you do not manage the assistant on top of your day: we run the day-to-day, and every week you get a CEO report, and you approve the big calls.

Does Sarah say she is a person?

No. Sarah is AI, and she never claims to be a person. If you sincerely ask her, she tells you the truth. She makes the CEO's calls, texts and emails, and you keep final say.

Who approves what Sarah sends?

You set the rules. Before Sarah makes a single call for you, your process is written into a playbook: what is routine, what she handles, and what comes to you first. Anything that is a big call comes to you. Every week you get a CEO report, and you approve the big calls. If you want a certain kind of message to wait for your approval, you say so and the playbook changes.

Which AI executive assistant is right for a roofing company?

The one that takes the work you actually need gone. If your problem is scheduling and data entry, a task tool will do. If your problem is that every call, text and email in the company still waits for the owner, you need an assistant that makes them, from a written copy of how you run things. That is what Sarah is for. Call (844) 766-3535 and judge her for yourself.

Does Sarah keep working after the agreement ends?

Yes. When the agreement ends, you keep the software and all the data, the trained team, the written playbook and every process we wrote down. Sarah keeps making the CEO's calls, texts and emails, on a plan. The process we cloned belongs to your company, not to us, so the work you put into it stays with you.

What exactly is the guarantee?

At least $5M in new business in the next 12 months. In writing. We aim for $10M. If we miss $5M, we keep working free until we hit it. The conditions, printed plainly: you follow the playbook; you have install capacity; you are ready for the volume; you sign a 12-month agreement. The full terms are in the written agreement.
