How does a 70/30 split work?

You keep 70 and the company keeps 30 of every split, under the same standard terms any split in roofing uses. The only thing that changes from one split to another is how much of the split goes to you, and on a 70/30 the larger share is yours.

When people say a 70/30 split in the rep's favor, the 70 is the rep's share. How each job is figured at Robust Roofing is explained in your interview, in writing, before you start.
