Fractional sales manager for roofers

SumRev provides fractional sales leadership for roofers. A part-time sales manager runs your weekly sales rhythm — who responds to leads, how estimates are followed up, and what the team reviews each week — so the owner stops being the sales manager.

Symptoms we see most often

  • Storm leads pile up faster than anyone can respond
  • Inspections happen but the estimate or insurance next step stalls
  • Sales reps keep their pipeline in their heads or their phones
  • Retail and insurance jobs are tracked the same way, so neither is clear
  • The owner can't see which signed or pending jobs are at risk

Where roofing companies lose booked jobs

Roofing pipelines swing with weather. After a storm, response time and ownership break down; in slow months, open estimates go quiet. Both problems come from the same gap: no one runs the pipeline every week.

  • Storm-lead response and assignment
  • Inspection-to-estimate handoff
  • Insurance claim follow-up steps and owners
  • Retail estimates with no dated next action

What a fractional sales manager does for a roofing company

The role gives your sales reps a consistent manager and gives the owner a clear view of the pipeline.

  • Sets lead assignment and response rules for storm surges
  • Defines pipeline stages for retail and insurance jobs separately
  • Runs a weekly pipeline review with each rep
  • Coaches reps on inspections, presentations, and follow-up
  • Keeps job records current so forecasts are believable

Head of Sales or VP of Sales?

Most roofers at $1M–$5M need hands-on weekly management first: a fractional Head of Sales. Larger teams that need structure, compensation, and hiring plans may need a fractional VP of Sales. The Pipeline Teardown shows which gap matters more.

How it starts

Every engagement starts with the Pipeline Teardown. We review 20 recent opportunities — won, lost, or stalled — and your pipeline records, then return documented problems and the fixes to make first. Ongoing work runs through the Sales System Build on the Services page.
