Hey Ivan, do you know anyone who does solar sales virtually who would be looking to partner up with a solar marketer? I have inbound solar appointments but no one with a virtual sales process who is skilled enough to close them. I don't want to do the closing myself because I'd rather focus on perfecting the marketing. Thanks in advance

This is 1 year ago... Status of solar now?

[@hodler6796]

Been doing solar for two years and had about 150 installs with my sales company. They switched to a Rev Share Comp plan and it drastically reduced my commissions. I was making $2000-3000 per deal installed . I looked into signing up directly with installers as a dealer and now have three amazing solar installers in Vegas that have amazing customer reviews. Now I make $6000+ per deal installed and is way less stressful. Going EPC direct is definitely the move if you ALREADY have the sales skills. 🎉🎉🎉.

[@TheSolarBoss]

100% man! I'm glad it's working out for you! That's exactly what I'm preaching so kudos to you!

[@mohamedyagoub314]

[@rowen0fstrata]

Hey man. You are in Vegas? I’m in Vegas as well and am currently working for a non-commissioned solar sales company. I’ve gotten very good and am considering moving companies. So would you suggest not going with a company like Sunrun? Not quite sure what EPC is.

[@mattbrew11]

150 installs in vegas? Post some videos

[@Kometheus]

Wow. That's actually pretty amazing.

[@captmaverickable]

Signing with a solar company is a great way to learn the ropes. You can learn and observe how they close deals and structure systems. Once you learn the ropes and start closing deals, then absolutely go solo and team up with a great installer.

[@atrainbadboyz]

This works I just did it yesterday I sat with one company that was owned through a friend of a friend. Secured a redline. Then was out knocking and knocked on the door of a solar installers parents. I had a meeting with him and the secured a even better redline with a faster install time. It can be done. Work for yourself.

[@mattbrew11]

You real young in solar if you have to find installers by accident

[@danielpitruze5463]

Thanks for your video brother. I'm getting into solar now, and I have a couple options: have had interviews with a few solar companies where I would work for them, but then also met a dope guy who specializes in training independent salespeople. Difference is, the solar companies will be local, and the connection i made lives in NY (im in FL). He agreed to help close initial sales for me in the beginning (all remotely), and I have some money in investments that i can use to hold me over until my first paycheck... just not sure which route to go. I've had light sales exp in the past and Im getting married soon with two daughters. No longer goin at it dolo and im tryna think of the best option for my family. thanks bruv

[@andresmorales9080]

To be honest. i did solar for a month, just to try it out & well I didn’t like it. 1. People are just playing rude. 2. You don’t know if your going to get a gun pointed at you. 3. You really gotta work on your pitch. 4. Be aware which neighborhood you’ll be knocking. 5. Beware if you do get appointment, don’t get your hopes up because there is high a chance that the owner will not be at that appointment. 6. Your going to need knock on lots of doors. I do believe that the pay is good, but I knew it wasn’t for me. But i do wish the best for the ones to find this as a career. All the best.

So I’m new to solar and just about to start with a company in California, I ain’t say there name here being I’m a new employee. I had about a week before orientation starts and they gave us the blue print on door to door sales what to say and the steps..I started to do research and your channel seems very up front and you seem transparent and well informed. So I have 12 ppl that want solar Fer sure and another 6 on the fence and this was just within the week. After I saw the numbers I sent him learned the blueprint and acted with a attitude of conviction and I believe built up a ready to go list , my friends and family because if the savings. I’m working from the blue print they gave me in terms of teeing up the sale for them..but after your video is this the smartest idea. I even have other friends and family who want to work in the industry after I showed them how much i could be paid. But it sounds like it’s up to them wen I get my solar license? So a few questions would help me out so much because now you got me on the fence on what I should do. I’ve done this all on my own so far. I have orientation on zoom for a few days where they want me to get leads via, the utility bill and I did that. Prior to this I have a degree in mechanical engineering, would I be able to figure this out on my own? Absolute transparency with you I have 10 ppl with homes in CA, I have a big family who are all professionals and want solar. And there kids want to also jump on the wagon after I told them about the earning potential. And I’m sure my family will spread word if it makes sense. So what should I do. I’m totally new to solar, I have a degree in mechanical engineering and taking classes in business on the side. So how should i approach it. I’m positive those sales are in the bag,and I know I wouldn’t be getting the sales cuz they said I don’t have my solar license. Wha should I do,

[@TheSolarBoss]

You definitely can figure it out on your own but I wouldn’t recommend it. Seek out knowledge and you’ll get there a lot faster. There’s a ton of free info on this channel so you can start there

[@turiq6197]

Hey I jus started in solar sales in California as well I’m curious how long did it take you to get your solar sales license?

[@robertburke1486]

Get out of solar and into more general home-improvement sales.

[@MrGlenspace]

I see solar sales in Lowe’s or Costco. They want you to memorize pitch. Then you get low hourly wage but promise commission. Yet unless you first get the opportunity you get nothing unless customer signs up to get something. Then get more for a sale. Lots of walking for little pay. Lots of retail sales associate turn over.

[@shroud1390]

12 appts a day is a lot. How are you getting those?

[@IFHA23]

Im debating whether I should get into solar. I've been in sales for years now and have great success in real estate. But every company I meet with has a setter/closer model. No education no formal training. Instead it's just setting appointments. Which I'm not against but time is money. And I'm leaving A LOT of money on the table by just setting appointments...

[@anthonychavez3608]

is it okay to work for a company if your just starting off? i understand that working with the installers themselves makes you more money, but if you have no previous experience in sales would it be smart to work with a company just for the experience and training?

What is your opinion on momentum Solar ? Should I work as an in home consultant on salary+ commission?

[@TheSolarBoss]

I can't speak of Momentum Solar as I'm not too familiar with their policies and how they treat people internally however please understand that most installers would drop a sales rep in a heart beat, so you're better off branching off on your own and building your own business.

[@the-ironclad]

Garbage. The commissions are horrible. $100 per kilowatt for reps. They tempt you with that huge sign on bonus but overall garbage. You’re literally getting exploited.

[@dyaonna]

How much money should be set aside for paid advertising?

[@TheSolarBoss]

You start with 70-80 a day. But eventually you want to aim for $100/day as your minimum. If you utilize the multistate expansion method and target multiple low hanging friends states at the same time with your ads the lead cost will be significantly less and you’ll be having much more appts out of your ad spend.
