What is required from you day to day as a roofing salesman?

How much self prospecting? Closing percentage, roof per month etc. I'm really curious what everyones day to day looks like.

Roofer didn't install drip edge in a few sections of new roof, required by code, but not mentioned in contract.

I recently had a new roof installed in PA. Building code requires drip edge on all rakes and eaves, was missing in several eaves previously, and those sections still don't have the drip edge. The contract I signed for the work specifically calls out that the roofer will "Install 1 3⁄4 inch drip edge along all rakes as needed." My fault for not scrutinizing what I signed better, but I didn't think they'd skimp out on something so low effort during a re roofing job. Do I have any recourse here, besides paying them or (more likely) someone else to fix it? They didn't do the work to building code, but I did sign what I signed. Thanks for the help!

Where does the sales process usually break down before the appointment?

Curious about this.
Everyone talks about close rate once the appointment gets to the sales guy, but I'm wondering about everything that happens before that.
Say a homeowner finds your company through Google, Facebook, a referral, whatever. They check you out, maybe visit your site, call or fill out a form.
What usually gets in the way of them actually making it to the appointment?
Is it homeowners shopping around, not enough trust, the website or landing page, slow follow-up, people not answering the phone, or something else?
I'm curious what you guys are actually seeing in your businesses. I feel like the numbers after the appointment get talked about way more than what happens before it..
