What Could You Earn in Sales?

Home-services sales pay is commission-driven and among the highest without a degree. New reps commonly earn $60k–$100k in year one, experienced reps $100k–$180k, and top one-call closers routinely clear $150k–$300k+ selling high-ticket products like solar, roofing, HVAC, bathrooms and windows. Actual pay is performance-based and varies by company and market.

The highest-paying tend to be high-ticket, one-call-close in-home products, solar, roofing, bathroom & shower remodeling, windows, and HVAC, because commissions scale with the size of the sale. A strong closer in these verticals can out-earn most salaried professionals.

No degree or prior sales experience is required. Home-services companies hire and train coachable beginners all the time, they care more about work ethic, likeability and coachability than a resume. Many six-figure closers started with zero background.

Most roles are commission-based or a base + commission, so your income is tied to what you close. That's why top performers earn so much, there's no hard ceiling, but early months are about learning the process.
