I’m currently in home improvement / GC sales and I do very well.
However, the company I am at I cannot grow any farther than this position.
Any ideas on furthering my career in construction? Paths to take or avoid?

I would look for a full service remodeler that can offer a potentially larger average contract size and higher commission pay. My avg contract is $25k around 10% commission plus monthly volume bonuses. Are you currently doing a one call close in the home? What’s your location? Management is an option for growth, but I personally plan on staying where I’m at as a senior rep.

Install America is located in Mohnton, PA… maybe come interview! You are in Elizabethtown?

One of the hardest things to do in business and in sales is to have someone love what you do so much that they'll put their name on the line and refer you business.

That's a relationship you have to nurture.

And I bet that most of you have more than a handful of happy customers who would refer you business. The easiest way to get more leads and pipeline is to ask for referrals.
