This is not an order-taking sales role. Successful Solar Sales Consultants actively build relationships, generate opportunities, and develop a strong network within their communities. While our marketing efforts, referrals, and established reputation endeavor to provide a steady stream of opportunities, you'll also be responsible for creating your own sales pipeline through networking, prospecting, referrals, and community involvement.

If you're an entrepreneurial sales professional who enjoys connecting with people, managing your own territory, and being rewarded for your performance, we'd love to hear from you.

• Represent Paradise Energy Solutions with professionalism, integrity, and excellence
• Build and maintain relationships with business owners, farmers, homeowners, and community leaders throughout your territory
• Generate approximately 50-60% of your own leads through networking, referrals, prospecting, and community engagement
• Follow up on company-generated leads from marketing campaigns, referrals, and other sources
• Conduct on-site consultations to understand customer goals and energy needs
• Educate prospective customers about solar energy, financial returns, available incentives, and long-term value
• Collaborate with our estimating team to develop accurate and compelling proposals
• Guide customers through the sales process from initial conversation to a signed contract
• Maintain a healthy sales pipeline and consistently work toward territory sales goals
• Consistently close deals

You have a track record of achieving results in a commission-based sales environment. You understand the discipline, persistence, and accountability required to consistently meet goals and grow a book of business. Previous outside sales experience is required.

You are well-connected in the area you’ll serve and enjoy building relationships with new people. Whether through professional networks, community organizations, referrals, or local events, you're comfortable creating opportunities and earning trust.

You thrive with autonomy and don't need constant oversight to stay motivated. You take ownership of your territory, proactively pursue opportunities, and understand that your success is driven by the efforts you invest.

You ask thoughtful questions, listen carefully, and help customers make informed decisions. Rather than relying on high-pressure sales tactics, you focus on understanding customer needs and delivering solutions that provide a return on their investment and long-term value.

Previous solar industry experience is helpful but not required. We are willing to invest in the right person who brings strong sales experience and skills, relationship-building ability, and a desire to learn. Candidates from agricultural sales, commercial services, construction, equipment sales, insurance, banking, and other consultative sales backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
