Cold Outreach Scripts for Roofing Shingle Jobs - Getting Hung Up On Constantly

Man, trying to cold call homeowners for shingle replacements in north jersey is a total crapshoot, I spent $800 on a lead list last month and only landed one $8k job out of 50 calls. We're up here dealing with these old colonial roofs that leak like sieves after every nor'easter, so I figured I'd pitch Owens Corning Duration shingles as the upgrade. But every time I say 'hey, noticed your roof from the street, want a free inspection?' they hang up or tell me to shove it. I'm running a two-man crew and need to scale beyond word-of-mouth, but this door-knocking and phone BS is killing my time. Anyone got a script that actually works without sounding like a scammer? Saw a post on r/Roofing about using postcards instead, might try that next. FML, this cold outreach is pissing me off big time.

Try starting with 'I saw your roof took a beating from that last storm - free check to avoid bigger headaches?' Had a roofer buddy use that on my block and he got three jobs off it, hilarious how polite panic sells better than straight sales.
