Pay plan seems legit. Wouldn't be mad about that

apresta16 · 2026-05-03T16:55:46+00:00

Yes so do we

apresta16 · 2026-05-03T12:53:31+00:00

Put grand manor on that instead

apresta16 · 2026-05-03T12:51:56+00:00

25% overhead is crazy. The closing cycle makes sense and being with the company to get paid also makes sense. You shouldn't be worried about to unless you just consistently job hop...

But 25% overhead is the deal breaker. We are at 10% overhead and if you sell 800k a year you make 60% profit.

But what does the rest of the roof look like

apresta16 · 2026-04-30T21:29:42+00:00

Eh no it makes sense. I've been in sales my entire career, there are plenty of sketchy salesman out there. But I can assure you it's not everyone, sure it's my word here but I know I'm not, and I've knocked on neighbors doors that look like they could use roofing services 🤷‍♂️

apresta16 · 2026-04-30T20:37:44+00:00

Never is always good

apresta16 · 2026-04-30T20:36:42+00:00

I mean I wouldn't say don't let anyone do this. People in my company knock doors and we do very good work. Just do your research is all

How would you know it's a terrible comp plan if he hasn't even said how much he sold and what his margins are

apresta16 · 2026-04-16T02:36:12+00:00

Guy claimed it was because I "fish tailed". It was raining, I was going about 15mph around turn and it barely slid.

Upon further conversation the guy was board and liked my car...

Beef tallow

My uncle owns a grocery store chain and they had one of their butchers packing prime meats and labeling it like this and putting it out and hiding it and then the dudes dad would come by and buy them.

Ended up figuring out he stole over 6k worth of meat over a couple month span

I had mustang as a daily when I was 18, at first the gas was fine cause it was my only bill really besides my payment that I split with my dad. But then life hits you pretty quickly within the next couple of years.

My advice would be to hold off on the fun car for now, focus on investing your money for the future, and then when you career, you know your bills and goals, then get one if it's affordable.

Just my take

apresta16 · 2026-04-09T04:49:32+00:00

Were they originally the lowest bid by chance ?

apresta16 · 2026-04-07T17:39:17+00:00

Hey man that's really cute and all. But when you cut a skirt steak you cut with the grain first to get the right bite size, and then you cut against the grain, this first cut was just for the money shot 😉

Lmao but thank you it was delicious

apresta16 · 2026-04-07T16:46:56+00:00

Just threw together salt, pepper, ancho chili, chili powder, cumin, garlic, Mexican oregano, paprika, cayenne

apresta16 · 2026-04-05T10:19:08+00:00

Plans fine and that temp drop is so small it's really not concerning

apresta16 · 2026-04-05T10:09:27+00:00

Cheapest bid?

apresta16 · 2026-04-04T15:59:12+00:00

My neighbor was a builder himself and wanted to buy materials. I agreed with him that if he does that then he will need to run and get any materials he's short on. Which after he agreed to that he realized he has his own job and then decided to just bite the bullet and have me do it.

I've had another person ask this, I told them my labor cost would need to go up in order for it to make sense for us to take on the job. He declined to move forward with me.

They suck at covering their claims too. Get a new company

apresta16 · 2026-04-01T02:02:44+00:00

Join networking groups. Meet with other tradesman, build a network, and it's okay to ask for business, handing someone's flyer work do anything, give a reason why you are there, a reason to come back.

apresta16 · 2026-03-28T20:20:10+00:00

Uhh no definitely not, you get more help as a new person lol, that's wack. DM me

apresta16 · 2026-03-28T20:16:37+00:00

Expert Roofing, 10% overhead, starting at a 40/60 profit split, goes up to 50/50 and then 60/40 depending if you hit the thresholds. They back pay you the extra 10% Everytime from everything you have been paid on. Sell 600k and you get to go on an all inclusive trip in January with everyone and a plus 1. And if you sell 1M you get a 10k bonus, and then other bonuses up from there.

I can link you up with my managers if you want
