GOING SOLAR IN 4 EASY STEPS
1. Consultation with a Solar Specialist
After submitting your information, you'll chat with one of our Solar Specialists. We'll review your
energy usage and utility provider's rate structure and see if solar is right for you. We then create a
proposal showing both short-term and long terms savings, plus all the details about your home's
custom solar system.

2. Compliance Call – Day after the free consultation


A member of our customer service team reaches out to you the next day to answer any further
questions or concerns you have.

3. Engineering & Permitting - 7 to 30 Days


Your solar system is custom designed for your home and your energy needs. Our in-house engineers
create a custom electrical diagram based on the physical measurements. Engineering plans are then
sent to local jurisdictions for permitting and utility approval. After approval, we'll schedule the
installation with you.

4. Installation & Interconnection - 30 to 60 Days


Your custom system is installed by our in-house installation team using all top-tier solar
equipment. Then we file all paperwork with your local utility company and await permission for
interconnection. After approval is given, we turn your system on.

28
YOUR PITCH
The first few seconds of your pitch are critical. The possible homeowner
isn’t expecting your call and will need valid reasons to stay on the
phone with you within the first few seconds of your call.
Here are some tips:
● Practice makes perfect. Please make some time to come up with your pitch, and rehearse it
until you nail it; this will help you feel confident.

● The first 10 seconds of your pitch are crucial. Ensure the customer stays on the call by
following call etiquette and being empathetic, thankful, and friendly. Remember always to
be positive and outgoing. Keep a smile on your face while pitching to potential customers.

● Get to the point right away. What are we offering? Why are you calling this particular
person? What is the goal of the call?

● Please keep it simple, once they agree to the consultation, proceed to confirm the details
needed to set up the appointment.

● Be consistent in every call by pouring your energy into all calls as if it was a million-dollar
deal. Keeping this type of motivation will significantly increase your chances of closing
more appointments.

29
HOW TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF
Please do not enter the call saying we are Green Energy for America or a Solar Panel
Company. The first step is to generate empathy with the client.

Hello, Mr. Juan. Did you already qualified to save up to 30% on the energy bill?

If the name is not correct, say:

“We are calling all homeowners to find out if they have already qualified to save up to
30% on the energy bill. And ask him as a story, "tell me, how much are you paying on the
Electricity bill?"

“Could we stop by tomorrow?”

If the customer says yes, ask:

“Can you confirm your address?”. “Let me remind you that with solar panels, you can
save up to 30% of what you already pay on the energy bill. So can you have two energy
bills to give you all the information….”

30
HOW TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF
“Good afternoon Juan. How are you? Did you already get the incentive from the Federal
Government to switch to Solar?”

Yes or no: start to provide all the information.

It is essential to thank the client for their time and for taking the call.

“Hello, Juan, Thanks for taking my call. I want to know if you’ve already got all the
information about changing to solar energy. It’s a free in-person consultation.”

"Sir, my name is ******; can I have a couple minutes of your time. In these 2 minutes,
you will know how to save on your energy bill."

“Did you know that you can receive help from the state to lower the cost of your energy
bill?”

Yes or no: “with solar energy, you can save up to 30% on your energy bill. Let me explain
how….”

31
INBOUND PITCH INTRODUCTIONS
● Green Energy for America, how may I help you?

● _______________ speaking, how may I


help you?

● Thank you for calling Green Energy for America.


This is ________________ speaking. How
can I help you?

32
INBOUND PITCHES
1. Yes, we reached out because you have been pre-approved to lower your electric bill with a special
government incentive that helps you get solar with no money down and put money back in your
pocket. If you qualify, the government will assist you with a 30% down payment to purchase a
solar system and avoid your utility company’s rate hikes. As you are aware, as gas prices have been
rising across the country, next will be your electric bill. So now is the best time to lock your electric
payment in and be in control of your future. We are setting up 30-minute free consultations before
the programs go away. We have an opening tomorrow. What time are you available?

2. Yes, we are setting up free consultations in your area to show homeowners how they can save
money on their electric bills by going solar. This consultation will go over all government
incentives/rebates, any special promotions from the local solar installer in your area, and how you
can now sell energy back to your current utility company.

3. We tried calling earlier because electric companies in your area have approved a rate increase. I
want to set up a free consultation with you and your spouse to discuss lowering your electric bills
by going solar and avoiding being affected by those rate hikes. The government has a special
program that can help you with no money out of pocket costs to own your solar system, which will
one day provide you with free electricity.
33
OBJECTIONS:
80% of the selling situations/objections you face are the same ones you faced yesterday,
last month, etc., and will be the same ones you’ll face next week and next month. This is
one of the best things about sales that most sales representatives never take advantage
of.

The top producers in any industry know this and use it to their advantage by taking the
time to script out the most powerful and effective responses to these objections. Then
they drill, practice, and rehearse them so they sound natural. That’s why top producers
sound so smooth and professional. They have taken the time to internalize responses
until they come out naturally.

1. I do not have a job/money:

● That’s why you should look into solar energy, because not only will you start saving money
on your electric bill right away, but also you will pay absolutely nothing to get started. You are
now going to replace an existing bill with a lower payment that you will pay in full and never
have to worry about it again. “IT’S A WIN-WIN situation.”

34
OBJECTIONS:
2. Not interested:

● Completely understand how you feel. How can you be interested in something you have not
had a chance to learn about? That’s why we will prepare a professional presentation/proposal
to show you how you can save money on your bill with no money out of pocket!

2. I’m too busy:

● Completely understand how you feel. You are busy; I am busy. Can I have a few minutes of
your time to show you how I can save you money with no money out of pocket with a free
consultation that will only take 30 minutes of your time.

● That is very understandable, which is why we value your time, and if, in this consultation, we
cannot save you any money, then we will provide you with a $250 VISA gift card. (ONLY OFFER
IF the customer spends over 100 on average on their monthly bill)

4. Need to think about it:

Would you agree that it takes information, not time, to decide? What kind of information are
you looking for before you make a decision?

35
OBJECTIONS:
● I completely understand that you need more time to think about it. But may I ask you a
question? What will change tomorrow? You are still going to be paying the same high
electricity.

● We understand that everyone takes time to think about decisions before making them and
needs more information and knowledge. This free consultation will give you all the necessary
information before deciding to move forward.

5. Long-term commitment:

● Don’t look at it as a contract; Sr. is Protection and Investment for you and your family. You
will be locking in your rates for the next few years and saving. Now let me ask you a question.
How will your spouse feel about all the money you just saved?

● For example, Imagine you had a gas pump in your house where you would be able to lock in
the cost of fuel for the next 25 years! That’s what solar energy does; it locks in the cost of
electricity at a cheaper rate for the next 25 years and saves you money.

36
OBJECTIONS:
6. Need to talk to my spouse about it?

● Yes, I completely understand that you and your wife want to make a joint decision. Is she
available so we can explain this option to both of you?

● Yes, I completely understand that you want to talk it over with your wife, but wouldn't your
wife be proud of your decision when you told her how much money you just saved?" How is
she going to feel?

7. I don’t feel comfortable doing this over the phone.

● Completely understand how you feel. We are a professional Solar Organization that has
installed over 60K solar systems in the United States. We are committed to excellence, so are
you a morning or afternoon person?

8. Please send me the information over the mail/email.

● I can do that, but then we won’t have the chance to answer your questions; allow us 30
minutes of your time to better inform you

9. I'm okay with the way things work right now

● I understand that, but wouldn’t it be better to save so much more on electricity every month?
