What is a draw in roofing sales?
Short answer. A draw is pay a roofing company advances to a rep before commission comes in. Some draws are recoverable, meaning they are deducted from future commission, and some are not. Always ask how a draw works in writing. Robust Roofing pays a $75,000 per year base and a true 50/50 split; how the two work together is explained in the interview.
Draws exist because roofing commission arrives slowly, especially on insurance jobs. A draw smooths your income while jobs move through inspection, the claim, the build and final payment.
Ask these about any draw or base
- Is it repaid from commission? If so, does a shortfall carry over?
- What happens if you leave before it is earned back?
- Is it paid weekly, biweekly or monthly?
How Robust Roofing handles it
Robust Roofing pays its Project Managers a true 50/50 split of job profit with nothing taken off the top, not a 10/50/50, and there is no cap. Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. Top performers can make upwards of $400,000 a year; that is top-performer potential, not typical pay. Robust provides HAAG certification and keeps a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff, so new Project Managers learn documentation from an expert. Apply at chooserobust.com/careers.
