CentralLink is also very
helpful when upselling to
a more profitable metal
roof.
It is easier than ever
to provide multiple quotes
and show how little it costs
to upgrade to a quality
metal roof from Blish-Mize.
Quoting a metal roof has always been
simple to those who are familiar with
the product. However, for retailers and
salespeople who are unfamiliar with the
product, it can be daunting. But now,
Blish-Mize has the tools to make it easier
than ever to quote metal roofing.
While using shingles means simply
ordering the number of squares needed to
install, metal roofing is much more complex
and requires accounting for length of panels,
overhang, trim pieces and much more.
Ordering the wrong length of metal roofing
can result in scrapping an entire section of
the roof materials and lost profits.
That is why Blish-Mize has partnered
with Central States Manufacturing to offer
CentralLink, an online roofing estimator to
make quoting easier.
CentralLink allows a retailer to generate
a quote for four styles of metal roofing.
It returns three estimates to choose from.
“The first person to submit a quote
has the best chance of getting the job,
and CentralLink helps me get the quote to
the customer quickly and accurately,” says
Doug Chapuis, owner of Keosauqua Lumber.
CentralLink is also very helpful when
upselling to a more profitable metal roof.
It is easier than ever to provide multiple
quotes and show how little it costs to upgrade
to a quality metal roof from Blish-Mize.
CentralLink also allows you to set
markups and email the quote directly to
your customer, and is also available for
contractors who buy through a retailer.
Retailers can set markups, and contractors
can access CentralLink directly from their
smartphones during the sales call.

CentralLink can make quoting easier,
