Hey all, been a bit since I posted much but have been lurking and very excited about basketball and the future of football.

I recently received a job offer as a Roofing Account Manager (Sales). Very good benefits, great base, 10% commission on all gross sales, company truck after 100k in sales or 3 months (whichever is first). Boss is a super cool guy and overall range of their handful of guys is $185,000 (only guy under $200k) and highest guy was $317,000 last year. Rest in the 200s. This is considerably more than I currently make and potentially 100-150k more than I have ever made. Research I've done checks out and company had great reviews.

Is this too good to be true? I've always been a top performing sales rep and have a background with service industry sales (painting) where I was easily able to sell 1-1.5 million a year in projects and close around 65% of bids/proposals on jobs we actually wanted. I feel like I would be crazy to turn this down and the VN Recruiting Forum is the only logical place a moran goes for advice....T.I.A.

Doesn't sound all that outlandish. Obviously the devil's in the details, but from a distance it doesn't reek of too good to be true. What's the worst that could happen? It's not like you have to pay a 25k fee to join. If it ends up a bust, you find a different job.

Yes 👍

We used to go to the games with a VFL friend who would take us down to the Lauricella Center at Neyland pre-game. It was humorous at times. They would never be in there at the same time. Johnny came in more often and earlier. He would talk to everybody and shake every hand in the place. Phil would not come in until later after Johnny left. Phil would come in most games and visit with everybody when Johnny went back to Pitt.

Also, I'm in the north Florida JAX metro area so we get tons of projects through insurance and sell all over. The company is family owned and the local area focus is a roof that can withstand hurricane force winds and has a 50 year warranty. It is very big among transplants and wealthier customers paying directly. This is another attractive aspect of the job as travel expectation is very minimal.

Sounds good if they deliver a good, affordable product and have been around for a decade or more.

Yeah my thoughts too. Just curious if others have worked or had relatives who worked the same or similar jobs. The pay outline is a contract so I'm not worried much about not getting what I earn.....just don't want to make a mistake because it takes 4-6 months to really start seeing bigger checks.

The boss was up front about that, especially with hurricane season coming and the sales cycle for insurance covered deals. He did say that he gives his new guys random chunks of his own commissions to help them at least make a couple thousand a week until commissions hit.....assuming you show early on that you're worth the investment. Seems like not much to lose and a lot to gain.
