Position Overview
- Market: Greater Chicago Area (Suburban Hubs & Metro)
- Lead Flow: 2 Pre-Scheduled Retail Appointments Daily (Warm Inbound)
- Schedule: Monday – Friday (10:00 AM – 8:00 PM) | Saturday (10:00 AM – 2:00 PM)
Advocate Construction For over 13 years, Advocate Construction has been dedicated to integrity, craftsmanship, and protecting homeowners' greatest investments. Operating across multiple major U.S. markets with a $100M corporate infrastructure, we are one of the largest residential roofing and exterior restoration firms in the country. While our mainline direct-to-consumer field divisions continue to successfully anchor our core business across the nation, we are launching an exclusive, specialized Retail Inbound Division team specifically for the Chicago market.
The Opportunity & Accountability This is a mid-to-senior level consultative closing role designed for disciplined sales professionals. This is not an entry-level position, nor is it a passive account management role. Advocate’s marketing engine provides you with two pre-qualified, pre-scheduled appointments every single day. Your directive is to arrive at the property, execute our proprietary 7-step consultative presentation, diagnose exterior structural needs, and secure the contract in a one-call-close setting.
Strategic Autonomy & Profit Margin Execution We do not employ order-takers. We select business-minded operators who understand financial leverage:
- Pricing Control: You are armed with a comprehensive retail product and pricing portfolio across premium roofing and gutter systems.
- Margin Responsibility: You are given the localized authority to negotiate contract terms directly with the homeowner. Your performance - and your commission multiplier - is tied directly to your ability to maintain profitable contract margins.
Rewarding Volume: You are compensated on revenue targets in addition to margin so that even with flexible pricing, your ability to close deals will always be rewarded.
Dual-Path Compensation Architecture Earning potential within this division is completely uncapped. A proficient closer is expected to exceed $100,000 in Year One, with advanced top-producers tracking over $200,000. We offer two distinct, performance-mapped paths based on your professional risk tolerance:
- Path A (Salary + Commission): Offers a guaranteed weekly base salary providing financial stability, combined with a structured commission percentage based on generated revenue. (Note: Company fleet vehicle is not provided on this track).
- Path B (Commission Accelerator): A pure commission-only structure featuring accelerated percentage thresholds on paid revenue. Includes immediate allocation of a Premium Company Truck.
- Self-Generated Catalyst: Representatives who independently identify and secure opportunities adjacent to their company-assigned leads receive our highest-tier commission multiplier.
The Commitment & Selection Process This role requires a rigorous time investment. To capture homeowners when they are present and ready to make financial decisions, you must consistently execute the core field schedule: 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM weekdays, and 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturdays.
Selected candidates will be placed into an intensive, 1-week mandatory training bootcamp led by senior sales executives. You will be evaluated daily on product technicalities, problem identification, margin mechanics, and verbatim mastery of our 7-step closing system.
The Profile We Accept
- Documented history of success in face-to-face closing environments (high-ticket home improvement, automotive sales, consultative B2C, or premium account execution).
- Exceptional communication skills with the ability to maintain absolute composure and authority during a negotiation.
- Valid driver’s license and a clean driving record.
Benefits
We offer a comprehensive benefits program that you can tailor to your needs, including health, dental, vision, life and supplemental life insurance, short and long-term disability, health and dependent care flexible spending accounts and a 401k retirement plan with employer match.
- Employee assistance program.
- Paid time off.
- Paid holidays.
- Monthly stipend for cell phone communication expenses.
