- Goal: convert storm-driven interest into signed roofing contracts within 48 hours.
- Audience fit: small crews (≤10) doing short-cycle B2B sales with annual decision cadence.
- Use a lean playbook: battlecard, fixed-price bands, one-page contracts, simple scripts, and clear SLAs.
- Prioritize leads by proximity, storm relevance, and contactability; target a total score ≥7.
- Run a two ZIP-code pilot; aim for ~30% conversion to signed contracts in 48 hours; iterate with post-contact debriefs.
How to Convert Storm-Driven Local Attention into Fast Contracts
Gulf Coast
KPI: 48-hour convert-to-contract target — 30% (pilot market)
Incident snapshot
Storm-driven attention creates concentrated local demand. Quick operational targets: response target 15 minutes, lead-qual score ≥ 7, contract-ready in 48 hours.

Convert in 48 hours is the measurable pilot goal used to focus execution and reporting.
Local-signal cues and prioritization
Public housing attributes and local chatter help prioritize outreach. Neighborhoods with older roofs and high owner-occupancy get higher weight. Score leads on three dimensions: proximity, storm relevance, contactability.
- ACS DP04
- Household and housing characteristics data used to estimate roof age and owner occupancy for prioritization.
- Lead-qual score
- Numeric rubric combining proximity (0–3), storm relevance (0–4), contactable (0–3). Threshold: accept ≥7.
- Battlecard
- One-page, playbook-style decision aid that includes proof points, fixed pricing bands, scripts, and SLA targets for fast execution.
Scoring example (expand for a sample)
Example: a property 0.4 miles from a hot spot (proximity=3), reported roof leaks after the storm (storm relevance=4), and answered phone on first try (contactable=3) => total 10 => accept and dispatch.
Lean-crew battlecards (templates)
Battlecards keep small crews aligned. Each row below is a single-row template to copy into a printable one-page sheet.
Trigger | Role | Script (one-line) | Asset | SLA |
---|---|---|---|---|
Emergency tarp request | Field Lead | "Tarp can be on site within 24 hours; final repair window confirmed after inspection." | One-page contract (fixed band $X–$Y) | Site tarped ≤24 hrs |
Insurance claim initiated | Estimator | "Estimate submitted to insurer; typical approval 7–14 days; temporary protection offered now." | Prefill insurance scope + contingency checklist | Proposal sent ≤48 hrs |
Visible shingle loss | Field Lead | "Quick safety check now; will send one-page estimate with fixed band and start window." | Mobile estimate PDF + photo checklist | Estimate delivered ≤24 hrs |
Minor leak, owner prefers quick fix | Technician | "Temporary patch today; full scope and pricing sent within 48 hours." | Pre-filled service order + receipt | Patch same day; full offer ≤48 hrs |
Considerations: vary price bands by material and crew availability. Keywords: rapid response, fixed-band pricing, opt-in consent, weather contingency. Use these to find similar templates and playbooks. |
One-minute debrief template (click to expand)
Fields to capture after each contact: lead ID, outcome (accept/decline), key objection, script tweak, next step, timestamp, agent initials.
Rapid proof: step-by-step workflow
- Detect — Ingest storm chatter and prioritized neighborhoods. Ops fills lead queue in under 5 minutes. Outcome: rapid queue for qualification.
- Decide — SDR runs lead-qual score within 10 minutes. Accept leads scoring ≥7 and dispatch Estimator.
- Deliver — Estimator sends fixed proposal package (pricing band, start-window, weather contingency) within 24 hours.
- Close — Sales obtains one-page signed contract within 48 hours and creates the Opportunity in CRM.
Pilot design: run small, pre-registered experiments in two ZIP codes. Success metric: 30% conversion to signed contract within 48 hours.
Condensed proof bullets
- Short experiments reduce noise: test with small registered lists first.
- Fixed band pricing removes negotiation friction for quick consent.
- One-page contracts increase signature rates versus multi-page proposals.
Timeline (example)
- 0–5 min: Lead ingested and queued.
- 5–15 min: SDR scores lead; accepted or rejected.
- 15–1440 min: Estimator inspects (virtual/photo) and sends proposal within 24 hours.
- 24–48 hrs: Sales secures signature and books start date.
Ops checklist and paste-ready snippets
- Lead-qual rubric: proximity (0–3), storm relevance (0–4), contactable (0–3) — accept if ≥7.
- One-minute post-interaction debrief: record outcome, key objection, and script tweak; feed daily KPI dashboard.
- TCPA compliance: use opt-in language for SMS and robocalls per 47 U.S.C. §227. Example opt-in language: "Reply YES to opt in for updates." Always log consent with timestamp and channel.
- CRM quick-create (paste-ready):
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"Name":"Storm-Job - 2025-09-12","StageName":"Proposal/Price Quote","CloseDate":"2025-09-20"}' https://yourInstance.salesforce.com/services/data/vXX.0/sobjects/Opportunity
Then attach the prefilled one-page contract via Flow or Quick Action. - Proposal package must include: fixed pricing band, clear scope examples, weather contingency statement (e.g., "Start window: within 7 business days; rain delays extend start by X days"), and a one-page script with quick-fill fields for signatures and dates.
After-action: track NPS post-job against category benchmarks. Iterate battlecards using small experiments and disciplined analytics before scaling.
