We're hiring Sales Trainees who are eager to launch a rewarding career in sales — no experience required! We provide all the training, tools, and mentorship you need to succeed. In this role, you'll work directly with homeowners, helping them understand roofing and restoration solutions while guiding them through every step of the process.

• Monthly communication stipend

• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

• Company Truck Program (for qualifying roles)

• Performance-based incentive trips and referral rewards

• Annual sales training and leadership development programs

• Year-round team-building events and company outings

• Volunteer opportunities through our Advocate Cares program, including up to $2,500 annual donation matching

• Career advancement – we promote from within
  Why Advocate Construction? People are the heart and soul of everything we do at Advocate Construction. We're committed to investing in our team — both professionally and personally — because we believe growth starts from within. In fact, 95% of our sales leaders began in entry-level roles and advanced through our structured development programs. Our culture is collaborative, high-energy, and supportive, where success is shared and every win is celebrated. We encourage continuous learning, value integrity, and build strong connections within our teams and communities. When you join Advocate, you're joining a company that truly invests in your success, your career, and your future.
  Responsibilities:

• Generate leads and build relationships with homeowners to identify their roofing and exterior restoration needs

• Conduct property inspections (including roof assessments; must be comfortable climbing ladders)

• Educate customers on available products, warranties, and services

• Manage your customer pipeline and maintain consistent follow-up throughout the sales cycle

• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure a seamless customer experience from inspection to project completion

• Represent Advocate Construction's brand and values with professionalism and integrity in every interaction
  Requirements:
