Door-to-Door Appointment Setter

Job Title:

Door to Door Appointment Setter / Lead Canvasser (Roofing) – 1099 Commission ($100k Potential on 20 Hrs/Wk)

Job Type:

Contract / 1099 Independent Contractor (Peak Evening & Weekend Hours)

Pay:

$50,000 – $100,000 per year (Performance-Based Commission)

Top setters average $700 to $1,250 per closed roof while working ~20 field hours per week.

About the Role

We are seeking 2 experienced, driven Door-to-Door Canvassers / Appointment Setters to generate qualified residential roofing inspections throughout the Greater Des Moines metro area.

We are not storm chasers racing to the bottom to slap on the cheapest possible materials, and we don't offer the "taillight warranty" common among out-of-town crews—where your warranty disappears the second their truck's taillights leave the driveway. We install premium, impact-resistant roofing systems built to last, backed by comprehensive, ironclad warranties that protect the homeowner for decades.

Because we sell high-value roofs rather than cheap temporary jobs, contract values are significantly higher. That means our appointment setters earn substantially more per closed roof than they would working for volume churn-and-burn operations.

You set qualified homeowners with legitimate roof needs, our in-home closing reps run the presentation and write the agreement, and you get paid: $50 upfront for every completed qualified sit, plus an uncapped backend revenue share on every funded roof.

Deliver high-intent appointments that close, and you unlock up to 5.0% of gross job value with a direct, fast-track pathway to transition into a full In-Home Sales Closer role.

How to Make $100,000 on Just 20 Hours a Week

This isn't generic hype—it is simple, repeatable math based on working prime homeowner contact hours:

• The Most Common Schedule (~20 Field Hours/Week):
• Monday – Thursday: 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM (16 hrs)
• Saturday: 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM (4 hrs)
• The Production Pace (1 Set Per Shift):
• 5 shifts/week $\times$ 1 booked inspection per shift = 20 booked sets/month.
• 60% Demo Rate: 12 completed sits where both decision-makers attend.
• 30% – 40% Close Rate: 3.6 to 4.8 closed roofs per month (~45–60 roofs/year).
• The Math on Our Performance Scale:
• Average ticket on our premium roofing systems: $20,000 – $25,000.
• At a 30% close rate (4% tier), you earn $800 – $1,000 per roof (~$35,000 – $48,000/yr part-time).
• At a 40% close rate (5% tier), you earn $1,000 – $1,250 per roof.
• Pace 1.5 sets per shift or operate in our 5% elite tier with 6–7 closed jobs/month, and your annual earnings reach $80,000 to $105,000 —all while averaging roughly 20 field hours a week.

Performance-Driven Compensation Plan

No waiting periods, no 90-day probationary pay cuts. From Day 1, your backend percentage scales directly with the conversion quality of the appointments you set:

• Front-End Cash Flow: $50 Cash Sit Fee paid weekly every Friday for every verified, completed demo (both decision-makers present, full inspection delivered).
• Tiered Backend Revenue Share (Paid upon job completion, less the $50 sit advance):
• 20% – 29% Demo-to-Close: 3.0% Gross Revenue Share ($600 per $20k deal)
• 30% – 39% Demo-to-Close (Target): 4.0% Gross Revenue Share ($800 per $20k deal)
• 40% Demo-to-Close (Elite): 5.0% Gross Revenue Share ($1,000 – $1,250 per deal)(Conversion rate evaluated on rolling monthly volume; minimum 10 completed sits).

The Quality Standard (Zero "Junk Leads")

We pay top-tier commissions because our closers don't chase unqualified leads. To qualify for sit fees and commission splits, appointments must meet four clear criteria:

• Verified Property Owner: Confirmed on county assessor records—strictly zero renters.
• Both Decision-Makers Present: Confirmed two-party sit for married/co-owning homeowners.
• Legitimate Need: Documented aging shingle wear (10 years old), storm damage, or active homeowner interest in replacement.
• Financial Capacity: Use common sense; if a house looks like a total dump or the homeowner says they are behind on all their bills, they probably can't afford a new roof or get financing for one. Be Direct and Honest with homeowners so neither their time or the sales person's time is wasted, but ask some questions to confirm.
• Completed Demo: Homeowner is present, grants property access, and permits our closer to deliver the full inspection and proposal.

Compliance, Legal & Safety Requirements

Because you will be engaging homeowners at their private residences representing a licensed contractor, all independent contractors must meet strict professional standards prior to field onboarding:

• Criminal Background Check: Must pass a comprehensive third-party background check (compliant with the FCRA). Zero tolerance for violent felonies, theft/burglary, or offenses compromising homeowner safety.
• Auto Insurance & Reliable Transportation: Must possess a valid driver’s license, a reliable personal vehicle, and active auto insurance coverage, with "Business Use" endorsement. Contractor must execute a standard Defense, Indemnification, and Hold Harmless agreement.
• Smart Device: Must have an active smartphone capable of capturing exterior property photos, running territory navigation apps, and logging appointments.
• Municipal Ordinance Compliance: Must adhere to all local city solicitation hours, registration guidelines, and posted "No Soliciting" placards across metro municipalities (West Des Moines, Clive, Waukee, Ankeny, Urbandale, Des Moines).

What We Offer

• Weekly Pay Cycles: Sit fees paid weekly every Monday via direct ACH.
• Direct Promotion Pathway: Setters maintaining 30% close rates over 30 completed sits receive priority transition into a full In-Home Sales Closer role
• Great Sales Experience Without Actually Selling!
• Flexible Work Schedule - Be your own boss but have a mentor help you be successful!

Submit your resume along with a brief 2–3 sentence summary detailing your prior door-to-door sales or canvassing experience, your typical sets-per-shift average, and your confirmation of clean driving and background records. Qualified local applicants will receive a same-day or next day screening call.
