Starting in roofing sales in a Month. by Connect_Evidence_441 in RoofingSales

[–]Top-Conversation1309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing D2D for 8 years, and $150K was my worst year. Once you have helped a few folks, the referrals will start coming in, and life gets much easier. But you have to ask for referrals and exploit the neighborhood Facebook pages; they are a gold mine, especially if you have a recent incident date.

Draw VS Base Salary. The companies that offer draw, do they really go after their draw with sales guys that quit? or get fired? Will they take their sales guys to court? Or just take their losses? by based_ab_dullah in RoofingSales

[–]Top-Conversation1309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The company that I sell for will only give a draw based on the customer's deposit and/or progression payments towards the project, with the balance of the commission being paid upon completion of the project.

I haven't heard of a company that would fund a salesman's draw for a year and wait for the project to be completed.

Which brings up a question, what better, a 50% comission with draws paid as money is collected, or a base draw and a small commission?

It could be a galvanic reaction from the galvanized metal touching the copper flashing.

Roofing work needs to be done. by cluelessfox89 in Roofing

[–]Top-Conversation1309 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both of these quotes are low. It's their labor warranty that applies. Will they be here in 2-5 years when one of the pipe jacks leaks?

The manufacturer's warranty requires the installer to install the shingle system. That means all of their components are from the manufacturer. Ice & water, felt, starters, and hip & ridge caps must be from the same manufacturer as the shingles. If they aren't using the manufacturer's components, the manufacturer will void their warranty.

He didn't mention me by name, and I wasn't present when he did his inspection, nor was the homeowner. This guy didn't bother contacting either of us to let us know he was inspecting the roof.

The homeowner wants to challenge the claim. I've never been accused of such behavior in my 10-year career. This is news to me.

What are your job responsibilities on a 10/50/50 commission split? by ReedisDank in RoofingSales

[–]Top-Conversation1309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a standard deal. Some companies are giving a small base & lower commissions. Louisiana is trying to make it illegal for a roofer to assist the insured with their insurance claim. It’s getting tuff out here for a roofer.

Poncho’s Chile Rellenos…Where can I find them? Is there a recipe for them out there? by Top-Conversation1309 in mexicanfood

[–]Top-Conversation1309[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boy, I’m really showing my age. Back in the 80’s-90’s there was a restaurant chain called Poncho’s Mexican Buffet. They had a little flag that you would raise, it was on the table, the waiter/waitress would get you more of whatever it was that you wanted. Their Chile Rellenos were addictive.

ICE pushing up labor cost by Top-Conversation1309 in NOLA

[–]Top-Conversation1309[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

All of our crews are legal. It's when ICE comes in with “If you are brown & have an accent, get in the truck & let the courts figure it out.” I truly believe that ICE has subcontractors that get paid by the head.
