How to Apply for Solar Retail Sales Representative

at Solar Pros

🏢 About Solar Pros

Solar Pros distinguishes itself by focusing exclusively on ethically sourced solar panels, ensuring both environmental sustainability and genuine cost savings for homeowners. Working here means representing a company that prioritizes long-term environmental benefits over quick sales, appealing to candidates who want their work to have meaningful impact beyond just revenue generation.

About This Role

As a Solar Retail Sales Representative at Solar Pros, you'll be the crucial first point of contact with potential customers at retail locations, assessing their solar needs and scheduling appointments for the dedicated sales team. This role is impactful because you're not just selling products—you're introducing homeowners to sustainable energy solutions that align with Solar Pros' ethical sourcing philosophy while creating significant long-term savings opportunities.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves visiting 2-3 retail partner locations where you'll engage customers about their energy usage, educate them about ethically sourced solar benefits, and schedule appointments for the dedicated sales team. Between retail visits, you'll update customer information in the CRM system, coordinate with the sales team about upcoming appointments, and participate in virtual team meetings to discuss strategies and share insights from customer interactions.
