At VIA Energy Solutions, we are redefining the solar experience with innovative approaches unlike anything else in the industry. As part of a family of energy companies, including our sister company Spark Energy, we offer unique opportunities such as an exclusive buyback program in Texas that provides a true 1:1 supply ratio. Our expertise extends beyond solar, encompassing residential and commercial energy solutions across both electricity and natural gas sectors. We provide a full-service energy solution, giving our team members insider access to knowledge and growth opportunities within the entire energy landscape. At VIA Energy Solutions, you're not just part of a solar company; you're at the forefront of a comprehensive energy movement, equipped to grow and lead in all aspects of the industry.
Role Overview:
As a Solar Sales Representative at VIA Energy Solutions, you will be at the forefront of our direct sales initiatives, actively engaging with potential customers through door-to-door canvassing and appointment setting. This dual role requires you not only to generate leads but also to close sales, utilizing your expertise to educate homeowners about the benefits of our solar solutions. You'll be responsible for converting consultations into installations, managing a robust pipeline, and continuously fostering customer relationships.
Responsibilities:
- Lead Generation: Proactively canvass residential areas to generate leads and set up appointments with potential customers.
- Referral Acquisition: Actively seek and secure referrals from current and past customers, recognizing that referrals are among the most credible and valuable leads with the highest close ratios.
