About the Role
We are looking for a driven, relationship-first Outside Sales Representative to own a territory and grow it. This is a role for someone who knows how to earn a contractor's trust — not just earn a transaction. You will represent the full SPEC product line to commercial and residential roofing contractors, building the kind of partnerships that keep customers coming back and sending referrals.
Responsibilities
- Own your territory — develop new accounts through strategic prospecting, cold calling, and networking while protecting and growing your existing customer base
- Build genuine, long-term relationships with roofing contractors — commercial and residential — becoming their go-to resource for products, pricing, and solutions
- Aggressively promote and sell the complete SPEC product line, positioning the right products for each contractor's specific project needs
- Meet and exceed territory sales goals — with a comp structure that rewards every dollar you generate above baseline
- Serve as a trusted product expert — advising customers on the full range of SPEC building materials, equipment, and services
- Maintain strong vendor relationships to stay current on product developments, promotions, and market opportunities
- Represent SPEC professionally in every customer interaction — in person, on the phone, and on the job site
Requirements
- 2+ years of outside sales experience in building materials, roofing, or construction — with a track record of hitting and exceeding sales targets
- Established relationships with roofing contractors (preferred) or the ability to build them quickly — you know how contractors think and what they need
- Strong communication and presentation skills — you can walk a job site and walk a boardroom with equal confidence
- Self-motivated and disciplined — you manage your own time, your own pipeline, and your own success
- Solid negotiation and closing skills — you know how to move a deal forward without burning a relationship
- Valid state-issued driver's license and reliable transportation
- Existing book of business or contractor relationships in the territory
- Deep product knowledge in commercial or residential roofing materials
- Experience with CRM tools for pipeline management and account tracking
