Roofing Sales Interview - Looking for insight
Looking for some insight on this industry.
I have been in Industrial Sales the last 5 years. Outside sales, B2B. Long sales cycles and relationship building is what I'm used to, along with account penetration and cross selling.
I am good at negotiating agreements, not afraid to ask for the sale (I see a lot of reps afraid to close deals by asking for the sale), not afraid to door knock and put in hours.
I am looking into a few roofing companies that have been posting some high earning outside sales roles. I am actually interviewing on Tuesday with Ameripro Roofing.
I don't know a ton about sales in the roofing industry. I assume tons of door knocking.
Also, I am in the Midwest for reference. We get a lot of wind and hail damage in my area, seems like every year.
What insights can you share?
I earned over $100K last year, if I perform well in this industry, is that possible with roofing sales?
Any tips on interviewing for the role?
What does it take to be successful in this industry?
I'm a little nervous about a change as I'm the primary income earner for my family. But I desperately need to get out of my current role, the company isn't doing well.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
