Episode Details

In this Golden Door Winners episode, Hunter Lee sits down with Andrea Olson, a residential roofing sales rep from North Georgia who crossed the $2.5M Golden Door mark and finished the year near $2.7M in installed revenue. 

Andrea’s path looks different from most. After several years knocking doors and building trust, every deal during her Golden Door year came from referrals.

This conversation speaks directly to new reps and struggling reps who want proof sales growth does not rely on tricks or hype. Andrea shares stories from the field, lessons learned under pressure, and the habits required to earn trust at scale. The episode highlights discipline, consistency, and personal standards.

You will hear how Andrea balances family life, high volume communication, and constant follow up while keeping customers engaged long after install day. She explains why long term thinking matters more than short term wins and why relationships outlast any single season. Anyone building a career in door to door sales will hear why trust, urgency, and personal accountability separate average reps from Golden Door performers.

You’ll find answers to key questions such as:
- What separates referral based producers from door knock grinders
- Why emotional control matters after rejection or denied claims
- How strong standards shape long term sales careers
- What Golden Door winners prioritize outside pure revenue
- Why reputation drives volume in roofing sales
