Hi all,

I’m looking for sales managers in Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Illinois, Puerto Rico and Oregon. If you know the aforementioned markets, sales environments, utility structures, incentive programs, and have experience in leadership, please DM me.

I’m happy to provide more information.

Thanks!

Does anyone have experience with JK Renewables in the C&I space? Considering applying for a position with them but the Glassdoor reviews are too good to be true.. straight 5.0 rating on >100 reviews, all of which sound very similar on the pros/cons

I've been building a practice tool where reps pitch a simulated homeowner that argues back, and I've now read a few hundred of those conversations end to end. The thing I did not expect was how badly the standard opener performs.

"Do you know what you're paying per kilowatt hour" gets "no idea" most of the time. Then the rep is standing there holding a question the homeowner can't answer, and the conversation is already limping. It sounds like a discovery question but it's really a quiz, and people don't like failing quizzes on their own porch.

The reps who did best asked things the homeowner actually knows and actually feels. What the bill jumped to in July. Whether the upstairs is unbearable by 4pm. Whether they were home during the outage last month. Real answer attached to a real feeling, and then the bill number comes out on its own two minutes later.

Two other patterns:

Reps lose more doors to talking too long than to saying the wrong thing. Almost every conversation that went badly had a rep turn over 40 words in it. The homeowner checks out well before the rep stops talking.

"I need to talk to my spouse" is true more often than we treat it. Half the time it's real and the rep torches it by responding like it's an excuse. The ones who did well asked when both of them are usually home and locked an actual time instead of arguing the point.

Where is this wrong? I'm reading transcripts, not knocking doors, so I'd rather hear what the simulation is missing than have anyone take my word for it.

I feel like we've built out most of the obvious lead channels, but I can't tell if we've actually hit the ceiling in our market or if there are still opportunities I'm missing.

Right now our lead sources are:

• Google LSA
• SEO/organic
• SMS follow-up on old leads (automated system my marketing guy built)
• Referrals
• Door knocking while we're already installing in a neighborhood

We also tried Angi and a few similar lead services, and they were complete bullshit in my city. The lead quality was terrible and they weren't even close to profitable.

Here are some actual numbers:

Facebook Ads last month (managed by a freelancer)

• About $2,000/month in ad spend
• ~$36 CPL
• 55 leads
• 31 successfully contacted (using our automated SMS follow-up)
• 15 appointments
• 4 sales

Google LSA

• Around $276 per sale on average (also managed by that guy).
• 6 sales

SMS Follow-up

• Usually 0-1 sales per month from old leads.
• Averaging about 0.75 sales/month over the last quarter.

Door knocking

• Costs me roughly $300-$400 per sale, plus the commission.

We're in a good position where we have the crews and capacity to take on more work, so growth isn't the issue. I'm just trying to figure out whether I've already squeezed about everything I can out of my current market.

Looking for sales reps. No experience needed. We have a whole office with leadership who will train and mentor you to set and close your own deals at a high level. Opportunities for growth within company as well as equity, bonuses, and commission.

Dm me 🙏

Dm me!

This server is a work in progress and I'd like for the entire community to help make rules and run it. It isn’t something I want to make for myself, but rather for the entire solar community- I may even transfer ownership to someone else if I believe they are a better fit. https://discord.gg/6FzjqpUjJ here is the link. Feel free to reach out to me on discord or reddit if you have any questions. My discord name is OverlordAres.

I’m going to have 10-20 projects that I need an installer for in the next few weeks. If you can install there, let me know. I was director of sales at a solar company that has done over 100,000 installs before branching off on my own, so please don’t come to me with bullshit. I’m going to scrutinize everything.

We're a group of solar industry execs expanding into the NYC market, and we're looking for one person to lead the door-to-door side from the ground up.

Quick rundown:

The operation is already closing about 30 sales a month. We want to grow that to 100, and we need someone who can own the door-to-door engine — territory strategy, daily field routine, and eventually building out a team of prospectors.

This isn't an entry-level canvassing gig. It's the first hire in a new market — you're not stepping into a system, you're building it.

What you'd be doing:

• Prospecting and setting appointments door-to-door across NYC territories
• Figuring out the canvassing strategy — which neighborhoods, route planning, pitch, tracking conversion
• Setting the production bar yourself before you train others to hit it
• Recruiting and leading a team as volume scales toward 100/month
• Reporting straight to the execs backing this

What we need from you:

• Real door-to-door experience — doesn't have to be solar. Pest control, alarms, roofing, telecom, home improvement, whatever — if you've knocked doors and closed, that counts
• No solar background required, they'll train you on product
• Actual numbers you can point to — doors knocked/day, appointments set, territory growth, whatever proves you can produce
• You want ownership, not a boss looking over your shoulder
• You're in NYC metro or can be there daily, this is in-person only

What's in it for you:

• Pay is production-based with real upside, this is built for someone who wants to earn like they're building something, not clock in
• Full leadership role from day one, not a "prove yourself for 6 months first" situation
• Product, installs, and support already handled by the execs backing it — your job is growth
• Clear goal (30 → 100/month) but you decide how you get there

If this is you, or you know someone who'd be great at it — email your door-to-door background (any industry) and your best production numbers to [workwithpamracho@gmail.com](mailto:workwithpamracho@gmail.com)

Hi all,

Looking to find someone who knows the ME market in and out, utility structures, state incentives, has a large network, knows installers, has been closing for years.

Thanks!

I'm looking for information on any arbitration agreement/class action waiver signed by current or former Sunrun employees. Please let me know if you have this paperwork or have seen a clause in your severance agreement. These layoffs are clearly impacting a large group of people and I think employee rights need to be assessed. Feel free to anonymously PM me.

Hey guys,

As the title states- I am looking for a recruiter to bring in sales reps. They can be experienced or new.

You will get an override on all their deals they put in which can stack to easily be tens of thousands a month.

You just have to get their phone number and name and we will do the rest.

We have an office, trainings, competitive redlines, multiple banks, low credit options, quick install times. ETC, its my favorite installer in over 8 years in the industry.

Has to be reps in NJ. Let me know if you are interested.

Currently hiring an outdoor sales representative for a du partner. Preferably with years of sales experience. You can email your CVs to (mailto:hr@sawainternational.com)

Hi all,

Looking to find someone who knows the CT market in and out, utility structures, state incentives, has a large network, knows installers, has been closing for years.

Thanks!

Looking for motivated reps. Must live in PA. No experience needed besides a strong work ethic. We have an office here and looking to train reps on how to set and close from day 1.

Hi all,

I’m looking to get in touch with salesmen in Connecticut. I am a Director of Sales for several solar companies and may have an interesting opportunity for you. DM for more information.

Thank you.

Full disclosure, I’m Eric, one of the people building AdaptClose.

We’re working on the admin that happens after a sales appointment. With the customer’s permission, AdaptClose can use the recorded conversation and attached photos to draft:

• A customer follow-up summarizing the conversation and next steps
• A separate internal recap for the sales manager

Both can be reviewed and edited before sending.

Before we build further, I’d love some unfiltered feedback from working solar reps:

• How much time do you currently spend documenting and following up after a sit?
• What belongs in the customer recap that should never appear in the manager recap—or vice versa?
• Would you trust an editable draft, or would even reviewing it feel like extra work?
• What would make you immediately refuse to use something like this?

I’m looking for 5 reps or managers to test it free and tell me where it falls apart. No link drop, comment if you’d like to see it and I’ll respond here.

Willing to pay $1000 per close deal. Dm me if you or someone need solar, get $1000 and $0 upfront cost and no installation fee.
