Job description

Sales Representative – 1099 | $80K–$110K+ | Storm Restoration

Department: Sales - 1099

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Des Moines

Reporting To: Gavin Olson

Compensation: $80,000 - $110,000 / year

Description

Most job ads bury the number or hide behind "competitive compensation." We're not going to do that.

Most job ads bury the number or hide behind "competitive compensation." We're not going to do that. Our sales representatives earn $80K–$110K in a strong year. What determines where you land in that range is effort, coachability, and how fast you learn the market — not tenure, not who you know. Read on for exactly what that looks like.

About the Role

Premier Roofing is a national storm restoration company — roofing, siding, and gutters — with 20+ years in business and 14 locations across the country. We started with two people and a pickup truck. The model is simple: when storms damage homes, homeowners need someone they can trust to navigate the insurance process and restore their property. That's what our sales reps do.

This is a field role. You'll be in the neighborhoods, meeting homeowners, identifying damage, and guiding them through the insurance claim and restoration process. It's a consultative, relationship-driven career — not a call center, not a desk, not a quota sheet.

What You'll Do

• Canvass storm-affected neighborhoods to identify damage and introduce Premier's services
• Meet with homeowners, inspect damage, and build enough trust to earn a second conversation
• Educate homeowners on their options and support them through the insurance process
• Schedule inspections and coordinate with our production team through project completion
• Participate in weekly training and ongoing skill development

Compensation & Structure

This is a 1099 independent contractor role. Your income is commission-based, tied directly to the projects you close. There is no salary.

To help you ramp up, we provide a startup draw of $500 per week for your first 8 weeks while you're building your pipeline. After that, your earnings reflect your production.

Realistic earning range: $80,000–$110,000 in a productive year. Top performers earn more. (First-year averages coming — ask your recruiter for current rep data.)

The upfront cost to get started is straightforward: you need a valid driver's license and reliable transportation. That's it.

Training

We don't put people in the field unprepared. You'll go through paid classroom onboarding, field shadowing, and structured skill development in roofing fundamentals, insurance process, and sales technique. 70% of candidates in our research said hands-on training was extremely important to them before joining a company like this. We built our program around that expectation.

Schedule

You control your schedule. Most reps work full-time hours during storm season and scale back in slower months. Evenings and weekends are sometimes necessary depending on homeowner availability and market conditions — that's the reality of field sales. It's also why the flexibility to work around your life is built into the model.

Who We’re Looking For

• Coachable. You don't need experience — you need to be willing to learn and apply feedback.
• Comfortable with people. This career is built on conversations.
• Self-directed. There's no manager setting your daily schedule. You own your output.
• Physically mobile. You'll be outside, in neighborhoods, sometimes on rooftops. A valid driver's license and reliable vehicle are required.
• Resilient. Rejection is part of the job. So is the income that comes from pushing through it.
• Sales experience is a plus. It's not a requirement.

Why Premier

• 20+ years in business. Financially stable, nationally established.
• A career path that compounds. Reps who stay build real income growth year over year.
• Human skill, not software. The core of this job — reading people, building trust, solving problems — is exactly what automation can't replicate.
• A company that started from nothing and built something real. That's still who we are.
