Your commission model can make—or break—your roofing career. If you're in roofing sales, you’ve probably heard the debate: tiered vs flat commission. One pays the same per job, no matter what. The other rewards volume with higher percentages. "It’s not how many roofs
In roofing sales, two reps at the same company can sell the same number of roofs—and walk away with wildly different paychecks. Why? Because one negotiated, and the other didn’t. "Commission doesn’t reflect your value—it reflects what you’re willing to accept." If you’
Let’s face it—roofing sales runs on commissions. But when installs get delayed, paperwork gets messy, or CRM data is off, your reps lose trust fast. The solution? A CRM system that tracks commissions accurately and transparently from lead to install to payout. "More roofing reps quit over

The truth? Most roofing sales reps don’t have an income problem—they have a money management problem. Roofing sales can pay six figures, but without a budget, it slips through your fingers faster than storm season. A 2023 survey showed that nearly 65% of commission-based earners don’t
