Update On In-Home Solar Sales

The company went under. But not because of me.

Here's my original thread:

I was closing 1-3 a week. I used the light bulb package as a way to generate my own leads. Company leads were garbage, and bought from a company that resold leads.

Most of my final sales the last three months were based off referrals..

A few tidbits:

This was a guy that rented an office, bought leads, and hired commission only salespeople. Minimal overhead and churn and burn. I'm sure he made "enough" and decided to close shop. Each sale was approx 45k. My commission was approx $1500. Then installers charged approx 10-15k. The rest is profit - minus rent, office salary for the secretary. No marketing costs other than buying leads. So not many sales needed to make a nice profit. (I was on the wrong end of this biz)

I know this is how a lot of the roofing, siding, gutters, home improvement companies operate...

Anyway, I had two weeks that I decided to take off for vacation. I got a phone call halfway that we were closing and the owner was opening a new business in Texas, same industry. Solar.
For the last 7.5 weeks I was the only rep actually closing any deals. And I think the last 3 weeks I was hitting just 1 deal a week.
