Join a Growing, High Demand Industry with Real Earning Potential

Position Overview

Midwest Elite Exteriors LLC is hiring Outside Sales Representatives to support continued growth in roofing, siding, gutters, and exterior restoration services.

This is a field-based, in-home sales role where representatives meet homeowners at their property, conduct inspections, provide professional consultations, and guide clients through retail, insurance-assisted, and financed exterior projects. Sales representatives own the customer relationship from the initial meeting through project completion and final collection.

This position combines consultative sales with end-to-end deal ownership.

How Success Is Measured

Success in this role is clearly defined and performance-based:

• Building and maintaining a qualified monthly sales pipeline

• Submitting complete, accurate documentation that supports fast approvals

• Moving projects efficiently from approval to build to final collection

• Managing customer expectations through project completion

• Maintaining deal quality that supports timely collections

Representatives who demonstrate strong organization, follow-through, and accountability progress faster through the pipeline and earn commissions more consistently.

Typical Responsibilities

• Conduct in-home consultations and exterior inspections

• Present roofing, siding, gutter, and restoration solutions

• Assist homeowners with insurance and financing options when applicable

• Perform prospecting, follow-up, and outside sales activity

• Document inspections, photos, contracts, and job details accurately

• Coordinate paperwork and approvals with internal teams

• Maintain ownership of each job through final collection

Evenings and some weekends are expected based on homeowner availability.

Lead Sources & Support

Midwest Elite Exteriors provides multiple lead channels, including:

• Paid lead lists

• Company-generated opportunities

Sales representatives are also expected to generate their own opportunities through outside sales activity, referrals, and centers of influence. Self-generated deals are encouraged and rewarded.
