Spend more time selling and less time hunting for every opportunity

Lapeyre Roofing is hiring a competitive, coachable outside sales representative to help grow our St. Louis office.

Approximately 70% of your sales opportunities will come from company marketing and lead-generation efforts. You’ll develop the remaining 30% through customer referrals, local relationships, and targeted neighborhood outreach.

This is a commission-only opportunity with no cap on your earnings. If you communicate well, follow up relentlessly, and know how to turn homeowner conversations into signed contracts, we want to meet you.

What success looks like

Your first 90 days

• Complete our roofing, safety, inspection, CRM, and sales training.
• Learn how to inspect roofs, document damage, build proposals, and present roofing solutions.
• Respond quickly to company-generated opportunities and schedule qualified inspections.
• Begin building your own pipeline through referrals, networking, and targeted canvassing.
• Keep every lead, photo, appointment, and follow-up updated in our CRM and CompanyCam.
• Work toward consistently closing at least one roof per week by the end of your ramp-up period.

After your first 90 days

• Manage a blended pipeline of approximately 70% company-generated and 30% self-generated opportunities.
• Own the sales process from the first homeowner conversation through the signed contract.
• Build a strong referral network that increases your pipeline and earning potential.
• Maintain consistent follow-up, closing performance, and customer satisfaction.
• Work with our production team to create a smooth handoff after the sale.

What you’ll do

• Follow up promptly with company-generated leads and schedule roof inspections.
• Perform on-site inspections using company-approved safety procedures and inspection technology.
• Generate additional opportunities through referrals, networking, and strategic neighborhood canvassing around active projects and storm-affected areas.
• Clearly explain inspection findings, roofing options, financing, and the next steps when insurance may be involved.
• Build proposals, present solutions, address homeowner questions, and close contracts.
• Maintain communication with customers from contract through construction.
• Keep your pipeline, photos, notes, and follow-up activity accurate and current.
• Represent Lapeyre Roofing professionally in customers’ homes and throughout the community.

You’ll thrive here if you

• Are competitive, self-motivated, and comfortable being paid based on results.
• Enjoy meeting new people and earning their trust face-to-face.
• Follow up consistently without needing to be chased or micromanaged.
• Are coachable and willing to follow a proven sales process.
• Can comfortably climb one- and two-story roofs using proper safety equipment.
• Have a valid driver’s license, active auto insurance, and a reliable vehicle.
• Can quickly learn phone-based tools such as a CRM, CompanyCam, and digital measuring software.
• Are available when homeowners are typically home, including some evenings and Saturdays.
• Have experience in roofing, home improvement, solar, pest control, alarms, automotive sales, or another performance-driven sales environment.

Athletic, military, hospitality, and entrepreneurial backgrounds can also translate well to this role.

This opportunity may not be for you if

• You need a guaranteed salary or hourly wage.
• You avoid rejection or become discouraged by unanswered calls.
• You expect the company to manage every part of your daily schedule.
• You struggle to keep detailed notes or follow up consistently.
• You want leads handed to you without being accountable for converting them.
• You are uncomfortable working in the field or climbing roofs.

Compensation and support

• Commission-only compensation with no base salary
• Different commission opportunities for company-generated and self-generated business
• Approximately 70% company-generated / 30% self-generated opportunity mix
• Uncapped earning potential
• Performance bonuses and incentives for reaching monthly milestones
• Structured roofing, safety, inspection, technology, and sales training
• Branded apparel, sales materials, and marketing support
• Flexible scheduling based on customer needs and performance
• Opportunity to be considered for future leadership or W-2 roles as the St. Louis office grows

Lead volume and earnings are not guaranteed. Results vary based on individual performance, territory, seasonality, market conditions, and customer demand.
