About the Company
We’ve been building and supporting residential roofing businesses since 2007, with a focus on delivering a higher standard of professionalism, consistency, and customer experience in an industry that often lacks it.
Our approach is simple: build strong teams, support them well, and hold a high bar for how work gets done. When that happens, customers get a better experience — and the business performs at a higher level.
Our long-term goal is to become the most professional and respected name in residential roofing by focusing on execution, accountability, and service.
We’re looking for a high-output sales professional early in their career to step into a role with significantly more ownership, responsibility, and impact.
This is not a transactional or inbound-only position. You will be responsible for creating opportunities, managing a structured decision process, and guiding individuals through high-stakes business decisions.
If you’re someone who wants to move beyond entry-level sales and into a role where judgment, discipline, and execution all matter — this is that opportunity.
This role requires a high level of daily activity, ownership, and follow-through. Success is driven by consistent outbound effort, disciplined pipeline management, and the ability to guide prospects through a structured decision process.
This role requires a high level of daily activity, ownership, and follow-through. Success is driven by consistent outbound effort, disciplined pipeline management, and the ability to guide prospects through a structured decision process.
What You’ll Do
- Build and manage your own pipeline through outbound outreach (calls, LinkedIn, networking)
- Own opportunities from first conversation through final decision
- Lead structured phone and virtual conversations with prospective candidates
- Guide individuals through a multi-step evaluation and decision process
- Assess fit and qualify opportunities — not every prospect should move forward
- Maintain consistent follow-up across longer, multi-touch sales cycles
- Develop relationships with external partners and referral sources
- Attend select industry events, conferences, and networking opportunities
- Collaborate with leadership on positioning, messaging, and deal strategy
What We’re Looking For
- 2–3 years in an early-stage sales role (inside sales, outbound prospecting, or similar)
- Strong comfort with outbound prospecting and creating opportunities from scratch
- Excellent phone presence and communication skills
- Some exposure to in-person or face-to-face selling
- Ability to ask direct questions, evaluate situations, and make sound judgments
- Organized and disciplined with follow-up and pipeline management
- Comfortable managing longer sales cycles (not just quick transactions)
- Ability to build trust and guide conversations — not just pitch
- Comfortable discussing business concepts, decisions, and financial considerations
- Willingness to travel periodically for meetings and events
What Makes This Role Different
- Full ownership of deals from initial outreach to final decision
- Exposure to complex, high-value opportunities
- Blend of outbound prospecting, relationship-building, and consultative selling
- Opportunity to build a network of referral and partner-driven opportunities
- Direct access to leadership and involvement in growth strategy
- Clear path into senior sales or leadership roles
Who This Role Is For
- Someone who has outgrown a pure SDR/BDR role
- A salesperson who wants more responsibility — not just more leads
- Someone competitive, disciplined, and accountable for outcomes
- A person who enjoys both the “hunt” and the decision-making side of sales
- Someone who wants to be evaluated on results, not activity alone
Compensation
- Base salary + performance-based incentives
- On-target earnings of $110K–$140K+ based on performance
Compensation: $60,000.00 - $70,000.00 per year
