I haven't commented on this because it's just not my place. But 3300 people viewed it. They are all weenies, don't have the balls to speak up. I just grew mine. Whimps. PC

Up to 3400 now. Scardycats.

Geez 3800 now.PC

or the topic is finished

3900 and rising just like the gas prices. PC :blink:

Patty some of us look for new posts,your countdown makes it look like there may be something of interest again-But obviously it`s just wasting my time

patty cakes as a former estimator why shouldn't you reply?

Does anyone tie there % of sale commission to the current price of material?

So the going rate according to this thread is 7-10% of sale. What if shingles almost double in price again like they did in 2008?

We are not storm chasers. Used to pay 8%. Now according to the math I should offer 6%. I provide truck, gas, 401k, and approx. 25 leads per week during the busy season. A 30%/70% split for anything sold over our base prices (30% to salesman). 10% for door knocks (if they want to). 1 million a year is easy, 1.5 million should be sold, and sky's the limit after that. But I'm looking to attach the 6% to the current price of shingles. Does this seem fair?
