social media for landing commercial roofing jobs is a scam

social media's a total scam for commercial roofing, just a circle jerk for likes while the real money's in backroom deals. those PE-backed monsters aren't winning bids with instagram reels, they're greasing palms at chamber meetings and golf courses, leaving us independents chasing digital ghosts. i've dumped hours into linkedin posts about TPO installs in this desert heat, only to get spam from chinese suppliers instead of strip mall owners. screw that noise, i'd rather cold call property managers or hit up the local BOMA chapter than waste another dime on ads. the big boys know social media's for show, not dough, and they're laughing all the way to the bank. OP, you nailed it with the r/Construction vent, same crap everywhere. if you're still tempted, try targeted google ads on commercial keywords, but honestly, networking's where the jobs hide. fight me if you think reels will ever beat a solid handshake.

ditch the social media grind and hit up local bni chapters or chamber of commerce mixers, that's where the real commercial leads come from for roofers like us. out in arizona, i've landed three strip mall jobs this year just by networking at those events instead of chasing likes. skip the bots by focusing on face-to-face, tell property managers about your torch-down mod-bit expertise during coffee chats. it took me a couple months to build those connections, but now they're referring me to warehouses without me lifting a finger. pe firms might have the glossy ads, but they cant beat genuine word-of-mouth in a tight-knit market.
