Dave Sullivan from The RooferShow hosts our very first podcast episode.
In this inaugural podcast, Dave introduces Vickie Sharples the founder of RoofersCoffeeShop.com
For 16 years RoofersCoffeeShop.com has built a community of roofing professionals that share ideas, tell stories, do research, sell items, find items, and get help on the day to day challenges we all face.
Dave discusses the great thing about podcasts is you can download them to your phone and listen to them whenever you want.
Vickie talks about the RoofersCoffeeshop.com and its many resources, classified ad directories, a really cool forum and now this podcast.
What is cool about the RCS Forum. 4,000 topics and a huge sense of community within the roofing industry.
Vickie working in the roofing industry from the age of 19 for a roofing manufacturer named Lunday-Thagard Oil Company.
Involvement in all aspects of roofing – roofing gets in your blood. The greatest people in the world are roofing contractors.
Dave Sullivan compliments Heidi and Vickie on being so well connected and well thought of in the industry. That's why he thinks this is going to be a great podcast and I think we're going to be able to offer so much for our listeners.
This podcast is another avenue to communicate with the roofing industry.
The goal is to have some of the contractor stories, that just benefits everybody, it will entertain, but it's also beneficial.
It’s good knowing that there are people out there that have the same kind of challenges and some guides to fix them.
The Forum is a brotherhood.
How important networking with other contractors is.
Trade shows are a great option to network also peer groups.
How to join the RCS Forum.
A good example of a new contractor reaching out in the forum about Hiring.
Vickie and Heidi have provided a place, a community, their tagline say-Where the industry meets.
That’s exactly what makes the Roofers Coffee Shop so unique and that's why it's called a coffee shop, like you go and hang out with your friends and you talk. There isn't anything like it anywhere, that we actually just have a place for everybody to meet up.
