Outside Sales Representative 1 (Setter) – Gurnee, IL & Surrounding Communities
1099 Independent Contractor | Paid Training | Uncapped Earnings | August 2026 Start
Be Part of Something New. Build a Career. Grow into Leadership.
R3 Roofing & Exteriors is expanding into the Gurnee, Illinois market, and we're looking for motivated individuals to help launch our newest territory. This is a unique opportunity to join a growing company at the ground level and play a key role in building our presence throughout Gurnee and the surrounding communities.
Join the founding sales team helping launch R3 Roofing & Exteriors' newest market in Northern Illinois.
As an Outside Sales Representative 1 (Setter), your primary responsibility is simple: connect with homeowners and offer complimentary property inspections.
You are not responsible for performing inspections or closing sales.
Once a homeowner expresses interest, you will schedule an appointment and hand the opportunity off to an Outside Sales Representative 2 (Closer), who conducts the inspection, meets with the homeowner, and manages the sales process.
This allows you to focus on what you do best—meeting people, building relationships, and creating opportunities.
Why Join R3?
We're not looking for people who simply want a job. We're looking for people who want an opportunity to grow, earn, and develop leadership skills within a company that promotes from within.
Compensation
• $40 for every qualified lead generated
• Additional $160 for every closed deal
• $600 per week training pay during your first 6 weeks
• Uncapped commission opportunities during training and beyond

Many of our top performers appreciate the flexibility, autonomy, and earning opportunities that come with a 1099 structure.
