Is Win The Storm worth it for a storm restoration roofer

Why this show is worth it if you sell after a storm

Storm restoration is a different sales business from retail roofing, and almost no general construction event acknowledges that. Win The Storm is built entirely around it. The organizer describes the show as where the storm restoration industry comes together, and organizes the content around four pillars it calls community, growth, innovation and leadership. In practice that means supplement and claims content sits next to canvassing, hiring and close rate content, which is the actual mix of problems a storm company has in one week.

Scale is the second argument. More than 200 speakers and over 120 breakout sessions and panels means you can send four people and have them in four useful rooms at the same time, which is not true of most trade events. More than 150 vendors on the expo floor means the software and materials evaluation you have been putting off can be compressed into an afternoon. The Roofer Olympics and the evening programming are the reason people come back, and they are also the reason a poorly planned trip turns into three days of nothing.

Pricing is unusually reasonable for the size. Advance tickets are listed at 299 dollars general admission, 449 dollars VIP and 849 dollars Elite, rising to 499, 999 and 1,499 dollars at the door, so booking early is worth real money on a team of six. Confirm the current window with the organizer before you commit. The thing to weigh is not the ticket, it is the three days of production capacity you take off the board in late October, which for a storm company can be the busiest possible time.

How to come back with something other than a lanyard

Pick two problems before you fly. Storm companies typically have one selling problem and one operations problem, and the breakout schedule is broad enough that you can genuinely address both if you decide in advance who sits where. Send a canvassing lead to the field sessions and an owner to the leadership track, and compare notes each evening rather than at the end. If you want a straight roofing business conference for the same budget, RoofCON runs two weeks later in Oklahoma City with a different feel. On the coaching side, 5 Star Disaster Services is a SalesAsk customer in restoration and describes what changed when every appointment became reviewable rather than just the ones a manager could ride along on.
