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 + uncapped commission (13.5% of net profit on sales)
  • Medical, dental, vision, life, 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
  • Annual sales training and leadership development programs
  • Year-round team-building events and company outings
  • Volunteer opportunities through our Advocate Cares program, including up to $2,500 annual donation matching
  • Career advancement – we promote from within

Why Advocate Construction?

People are the heart and soul of everything we do at Advocate Construction. We're committed to investing in our team — both professionally and personally — because we believe growth starts from within. In fact, 95% of our sales leaders began in entry-level roles and advanced through our structured development programs. 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 Construction's brand and values with professionalism and integrity in every interaction
  • Requirements :

  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
  • Ability to pass a criminal background and MVR check
  • Willingness to travel for annual sales training
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. and work outdoors in various weather conditions
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Goal-oriented, self-motivated, and resilient personality
  • Compensation & Schedule :

  • Guaranteed weekly base pay + uncapped commission. Top performers earn $80,000–$100,000 in their first year.
  • 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).
