I was nervous as hell going into this before watching this video. Now I'm so excited. Thank you 😊
I would add the time it takes to actually receive your first paycheck to the con side. I sold a roof day 1, and it still took 4 weeks to collect the check. As long as you're prepared for that you will be good.
with great money management skills this shouldn’t be a problem for most ppl
@@kingoisfaded ppl just getting into roofing sales should already have great money management?
@@mikewhipplol must people only consider sales jobs like this when they are broke
it does depend on the company you work for as well. if i sold on monday would get paid on friday. at least a week give or take a couple of days and if everything is squared, ex: downpayment, financing, contract signed that day
How much was your first check though?
7:15 you make a very valid point towards anything that is good!! If you're starting in sales and here watching videos you're already leagues ahead. I'm getting into roof sales and have found your videos helpful! Thank you for these i love the internet!
Appreciate you!
3 weeks in roofing and have 3 deals working 😊 it’s a lot of work no doubt but the reward is great!
Awesome job AB. Love this!!
Your content is so valuable! Thank you for these videos!
amazing story Adam I'm glad you shared, this is Donnie the guy that didn't get paid for 3 months and still haven't he has 3 days left, but so far business is picking up...I wake up every morning and have to remind myself yes this is real, I love it...thanks for all your knowledge you share!!!
I got out of it and got into encapsulation and water proofing sales and it changed my life
Thank you!!! I love my new job!!! Love this industry ❤😭🥰
PUMPED for you! Welcome!
Literally going to meet the boss for the first time today. Looking forward to learning from you and selling some awesome roofs
Home improvement sales is a great career in general. BUT, if you're looking for a career and NOT a job, find a company that offers MORE than just roofs. (Roofing, windows, siding, doors, trim, gutters, etc.) They key to long term success WITHOUT burning out, is repeat customers. Hard to do that with a 50 year roof unless they move locally and need another roof.
thank you as this is good for my decision making.
Awesome! Thank you 🙏🏽
You're so welcome!
I like to get in roof carrer but I don't know where to start
Can you do a video on door knocking with tattoos and how to overcome quick judgement? I’ve got a 3/4 sleeve and especially on older folks homes I feel like I get quick judgement and losses based on my tattoo. It’s not even anything bad but you know stipulation I guess?
When I was selling, I just wore long sleeves. Problem solved. Now that I'm on the production side. I still wear long sleeves.
I have hand tatts and I’m black bro … ppl are gona be dicks on the doors regardless of how you look or talk. Don’t let you having tattoos hold you back. A lot of ppl use all these things as an excuse. You got this !
And I’m going to continue getting tatted..next year I’ll be getting my sleeve s.
I don’t wear long sleeves. It’s to hot for that shit lmao.
Wear a suit
"Wow",very interesting...
I heard with roofing sales they don’t take taxes out of your checks. So do that mean I’ll have to pay all of that back at the end of the year?
If you're a 1099 independent contractor, then the answer is yes - they will not withhold taxes and you'll have to pay them. However, as a 1099 rep you have a lot more write offs.
1099 is much better, more tax freedom. My company is now running a small portion of our checks through W2 now though because insurance won’t cover a full 1099 subcontractor place
Here is your answer. No.
Why not?
@@stoneyface65 would love to explain and could do a much better job than original poster. He’s just trying to get views. But don’t think he actually does roofing sales.
1. Customer facing…Americans. Karens. Chads. Need I say more. Good luck. They will grind you down every single second. Call after hours, ask for money off when the job is done, pay late, bad reviews, go backs wearing your crew down, I can literally go on and on how bad of customers Americans have become.
2. Roofs are VERY expensive now. Exacerbates number 1. Customers are highly aware of the costs of things. Not making it any easier to sell.
3. Insurance is going to fail. Higher deductibles, less approvals, MONTHS TO REVIEW SUPPLEMENTS AND PAY. All leading to a very very tense situation with the customer. All made worse by number 2.
4. Managing unprofessional labor. Not fun. You will be the middle guy. At all times. Crew needs more money, they are late, they messed something up…all added on top of customer wanting money taken off the bill, “where’s the crew”, I want all the nicest materials, and can you have them come back and fix this thing that doesn’t even have anything to do with my roof.
You’ll have rebuttals. But I PROMISE you, you will get fed up with it very quickly and your good customer service will turn in to no BS service and less sales.
Think long and hard before taking a job that requires you to KNOCK ON DOORS to sell 15-80k roofs, that you will be in bed with these customers for months, basically brown nosing. Throw a boss in the mix, maybe some poor admins or hell vehicle problems, you won’t have a life anymore.
@@stoneyface65 looks like my response was too good to you and he deleted it. Sorry man tried to give you some real information but original poster doesn’t want it out there.
@@nikosolikostype it again. If he deletes it I’ll unfollow and tell my dad not to buy his courses.
@@Anthony-tb6er all that is if you are working for a good company lol. Some of them won’t even provide a vehicle for you. And most are 100% commission.
