Sales Trainee

Advocate Construction is a leading residential and commercial roofing company dedicated to quality craftsmanship, integrity, and community. For over 12 years, we've helped homeowners protect and enhance their greatest investment — their homes — while empowering our team members to grow personally and professionally.

We're hiring Sales Trainees who are eager to launch a rewarding career in sales — no experience required! We provide all the training, tools, and mentorship you need to succeed. In this role, you'll work directly with homeowners, helping them understand roofing and restoration solutions while guiding them through every step of the process.

The ideal candidate is driven, outgoing, and eager to learn — someone who thrives on connecting with people, setting goals, and achieving success through hard work and a positive attitude.

Benefits and Perks :

  • Guaranteed weekly base pay + monthly, quarterly, and annual bonuses
  • Career advancement – we grow leaders from within
  • Medical, dental, vision, life, short and long-term disability insurance (customizable plans)
  • 401(k) retirement plan with generous company match
  • Paid time off (PTO) and 9 paid holidays
  • Monthly communication stipend
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Company Truck Program (for qualifying roles)
  • Performance-based incentive trips and referral rewards
  • Volunteer opportunities through our Advocate Cares program

Why Advocate Roofing?

People are the heart and soul of everything we do at Advocate Roofing. We're committed to investing in our team — both professionally and personally — because we believe growth starts from within. Our culture is collaborative, high-energy, and supportive, where success is shared and every win is celebrated. We encourage continuous learning, value integrity, and build strong connections within our teams and communities. When you join Advocate, you're joining a company that truly invests in your success, your career, and your future.

Responsibilities :

  • Generate leads and build relationships with homeowners to identify their roofing and exterior restoration needs
  • Conduct property inspections (including roof assessments; must be comfortable climbing ladders)
  • Educate customers on available products, warranties, and services
  • Manage your customer pipeline and maintain consistent follow-up throughout the sales cycle
  • Collaborate with internal teams to ensure a seamless customer experience from inspection to project completion
  • Represent Advocate Roofing's brand and values with professionalism and integrity in every interaction
  • Requirements :

  • 1–3 years of sales, customer service, or related experience preferred
  • Familiarity with roofing, solar, pest control, or other field-based industries a plus
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to build rapport and close deals
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
  • Ability to pass background / MVR checks
  • Able to lift up to 50 lbs. and work outdoors in varying weather conditions
  • Willingness to travel for annual sales training
  • Compensation & Schedule :

  • This role features a multi-tiered bonus structure designed to reward consistent performance and meaningful business impact. Team members are eligible for monthly and quarterly bonuses based on the quality and consistency of their customer-focused sales behaviors and the advancement of files through key stages of completion. An annual accelerator, tied directly to gross profit, further enhances earnings for those who deliver strong year-end results. On target year one earnings between $110,000 to $155,000.
  • We provide comprehensive training, leading technology, and continuous support— no prior roofing experience required.
  • The most successful representatives work flexible, customer-facing hours (10 a.m.–8 p.m., Monday–Friday, with Saturdays included).
  • Advocate Construction is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind based on race, color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, genetic information, pregnancy, or any other protected characteristic as outlined by federal, state, or local laws.
