For Tradie Business Coaches: Helping Roofing Members Win More Jobs

If you coach roofers, you already know their biggest leak isn't a lack of leads. It's the calls they miss on the roof and the quotes nobody chases. A done-for-you answering and follow-up system fixes that without adding admin to their week. For a coach, the right partner turns that fix into better member results, and a referral income that doesn't need you to deliver the work.

What problem are your roofing members actually facing?

Ask any roofer in your group where their work goes missing and you'll hear the same answers:

• The phone rings while they're on a roof. By the time they call back, the homeowner has rung someone else.
• Quotes go out and nobody follows up. They're too busy doing the work they already won.
• Enquiries are scattered across texts, Facebook messages, website forms and lead apps.
• Reviews only happen when a customer volunteers one, so the Google profile stays thin.

You've probably coached them on all of this. The problem is that knowing what to do isn't the same as having time to do it. That's the gap a done-for-you system fills.

What does a done-for-you answering system do?

In plain terms, it does the follow-up a roofer knows they should do but can't fit in:

Problem	What the system does
Missed call on the roof	Texts the caller back within seconds from the business number
Enquiry at 9pm	Replies within 60 seconds and asks the job type, suburb and urgency
Quote sent, then silence	Follows up with friendly messages over 21 days, stopping when they reply
Phone tag to book an inspection	Sends a booking link so customers pick a time
No reviews	Sends the same review request to every finished job

The key word is done-for-you. Your members don't need another app to learn. They need it set up, running and reported on.

Why is this different from selling them more leads?

Most roofers' first instinct is to buy more leads. More leads into a business that doesn't answer or follow up just means more waste.

A system that answers every enquiry and chases every quote makes every existing lead source work harder: referrals, Google, the van signage, the lead apps they already pay for. We explain the difference in detail in lead generation versus lead answering. For quote follow-up specifically, see our guide on how to follow up roofing quotes.

This also fits most coaching programmes better. You're already teaching sales process and systems. A partner that installs the system makes your advice stick.

What should a coach look for in a partner?

Your reputation is on the line every time you refer a member. Before you recommend anyone, check:

• Clear, published pricing. Your members should know the cost before the first call.
• No promises of lead numbers. Anyone guaranteeing jobs or rankings is overselling. Look for promises about speed and delivery instead.
• A low-risk way to start. Members should be able to test before committing to a long contract.
• Compliance. Marketing texts in Australia must follow the Spam Act: consent, sender identification and a working unsubscribe (ACMA, Avoid sending spam). Review requests must not be gated or incentivised (ACCC on online reviews). A partner that cuts corners here creates risk for your members.
• Honesty about who they are. You should know where the team is and how support works.
• Reporting you can see. You want to know your members are being looked after.
• Your members own their data. Contacts and conversations should belong to the roofer.

How does the LeadKites partner programme work?

Here's how we work with coaches. We'd rather you check it against the list above than take our word for it.

What your members get:

• Every enquiry answered within 60 seconds, missed-call text-back, quote follow-up, inspection booking and review requests.
• Live in 7 working days.
• A low-risk start: the Quote Reactivation Sprint at $497 follows up their old quotes for 14 days, and it's refunded if it books zero inspections.
• Published plans: Foundation at $397 a month plus $997 setup, Growth at $997 a month plus $1,997 setup, and Growth Plus at $1,449 a month plus ad spend. All prices in AUD, no GST charged.
• We don't promise a number of leads or jobs. We promise speed and work.

What you get as a partner:

• 25% of the monthly fee for each member you refer, for as long as they stay a client.
• 20% of setup fees.
• Your own partner link so referrals are tracked.

Full details are on our partner page.

What results should a coach expect to see?

What you can measure, and what we report on, is the work itself:

• Reply speed. How quickly every call, text and form got a response.
• Missed calls recovered. How many missed callers got a text back and replied.
• Quotes followed up. How many quotes received the full follow-up sequence.
• Inspections booked. How many bookings came through the system.
• Reviews requested. Whether every finished job got the same request.

Those numbers tell you whether the system is doing its job. Whether the roofer converts the inspections into jobs is still down to them, and that's where your coaching comes in. The two fit together: we fill the calendar with conversations, you help them close.

How do you introduce it to members without a hard sell?

The best introductions don't feel like a pitch. A few approaches coaches use:
