What are the responsibilities and job description for the Roofing Sales Representative – Independent Contractor (1099) position at RGS Construction LLC?
JOB TITLE: Roofing Sales Representative – Independent Contractor (1099)
LOCATION: [Detroit, MI]
JOB TYPE: Contract | Commission Only
COMPENSATION: 10/50/50 Commission Split (see details below)
-----
ARE YOU TIRED OF SELLING FOR COMPANIES THAT DON’T LET YOU JUST SELL?
We’re looking for one experienced, self-sufficient roofing sales professional who is done being pulled into project management, production meetings, and job site problems that have nothing to do with closing deals.
If you generate your own leads, have a proven system that works, and just want a home where you can sell — this is the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
-----
WHAT THIS POSITION IS:
This is a true independent contractor (1099) role. You run your own business. You set your own schedule. You work your own leads. We handle everything that happens after you hand us a signed contract.
THE COMMISSION STRUCTURE – 10/50/50 SPLIT:
- 10% of gross profit is retained by the company for overhead
- The remaining profit is split 50/50 between you and the company
- Example: Job profit = $10,000 → $1,000 overhead → $9,000 split → YOU EARN $4,500
- No caps. No territory restrictions. No games.
-----
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Generate your own leads (referrals, door-to-door, storm chasing, digital marketing, etc.)
- Prospect and canvass independently
- Meet with homeowners and perform roof inspections
- Create estimates and present proposals
- Close contracts and submit signed jobs to us
THAT’S IT. Once you hand us a signed contract, your job is done. Go sell the next one.
-----
WHAT WE HANDLE AFTER THE SALE:
- All production scheduling and crew coordination
- Material ordering and delivery
- Permits and inspections
- Post-sale homeowner communication
- Warranty and callbacks
You will NOT be asked to project manage, babysit crews, handle supplements, or attend production meetings. Your only job is to sell.
-----
WHO THIS IS FOR:
- Experienced roofing sales professionals with 1-2 seasons of proven results
- Sales reps who already have their own lead generation system
- Closers who think of themselves as self-employed, not employees
- Salespeople who are tired of wearing too many hats at other roofing companies
- High-integrity professionals who want their name attached to quality work
-----
REQUIREMENTS:
- Proven roofing sales experience with a verifiable track record
- Your own reliable lead sources – no company leads are provided
- Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
- Ability to perform basic roof inspections and create accurate estimates
- Professional communication with homeowners
- Must be legally eligible to work as a 1099 independent contractor
- Liability insurance preferred (discuss at onboarding)
-----
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF:
- You need the company to supply your leads
- You are new to roofing and looking for training
- You want a base salary, hourly pay, or employee benefits
- You are uncomfortable with commission-only income
- You want someone managing how you sell
-----
WHY WORK WITH US:
We built this role specifically for elite roofing salespeople who have outgrown their current companies. We run a tight production operation — experienced crews, clean job sites, and homeowner communication that actually works. You won’t be fielding angry calls because we dropped the ball after the sale.
We want a true partnership. The more you sell, the more we both make. Simple as that.
-----
HOW TO APPLY:
Send a brief message telling us about your roofing sales experience and how you currently generate leads. No formal resume required — just tell us your track record.
