The 72-hour window
After a DFW hail storm, the first 72 hours are everything. Adjusters are scheduling. Homeowners are anxious. Reps who knock fast and frame right close 3x what reps who wait close.
Here's the field playbook.
Hour 0–6: storm map
- Pull the NOAA hail map for the storm.
- Cross-reference with affluent zips: 75033, 75035, 75070, 76092, 75093.
- Pick 3 streets. Knock 100% of them, not 10% of 30.
The opener
"Hey — I'm with [company]. Were you home during the storm last night? Quick one — we're walking roofs on the street today, free inspection, no obligation. Mind if I take a look at yours?"
Calm. Slow. No pressure. Most homeowners say yes.
The roof walk
- Mark hits with circle chalk.
- Photo every slope.
- Note collateral damage (gutters, screens, AC fins).
Bring photos to the kitchen counter.
The kitchen counter conversation
"You've got hail damage on every slope. Insurance will cover the full replacement minus your deductible. Want me to walk you through how the claim works?"
This is where weak reps lose: they pitch roof. Top reps pitch the claim process.
The insurance frame
- Explain RCV vs ACV.
- Explain depreciation recovery.
- Explain supplement strategy.
- Be transparent about the deductible — never offer to "eat it" (insurance fraud in TX).
The close
"I'll handle the entire claim — adjuster meeting, supplements, install, final inspection. You write one check for your deductible. Want to file today?"
Why most reps lose this
- They knock too few houses too slowly.
- They lead with "free roof" instead of "claims process."
- They offer to eat the deductible (illegal — kills the deal and your license).
