Outside Sales Representative

About Us

Since 2005, Forte Roofing has earned trust in Syracuse and CNY as a fully insured, BBB A+ rated roofing partner. We specialize in residential and commercial roof replacement and repairs—including shingle and slate—offering industry‑leading craftsmanship, warranty‑backed service, local responsiveness, and 0% financing for eligible clients. We offer a team‑oriented environment with opportunities for career growth, and as we continue to expand, we seek reliable, safety‑focused team members to support our operations!

This is a W-2, commission‑based outside sales role selling residential roofing and exterior solutions. You’ll meet homeowners through company‑provided leads, conduct in‑home consultations, and close projects that directly drive your earnings. Top performers thrive here because they are comfortable with variable income, motivated by performance‑based pay, and capable of managing a full sales cycle independently. While leads are provided, reps who also self‑generate opportunities can earn additional commission incentives.
