The Role
As an Inside Sales Representative, you'll work from our Bainbridge office guiding warm, company-provided leads through the sales process for solar panel installations and heat pump systems. This is a consultative selling role - you'll educate homeowners and business owners on their options, explain financing and available incentives, and help them make confident decisions about clean energy upgrades. No door-knocking, no cold calls - just meaningful conversations with people who have already expressed interest.

- Conduct consultative phone and video presentations to assess customer needs and recommend solar and heat pump solutions
- Manage your sales pipeline and follow-up activities in our CRM system
- Guide customers through pricing, financing options, tax credits (such as the federal ITC), and projected energy savings
- Close residential and commercial solar and heat pump deals
- Coordinate with the installation and operations teams to ensure a smooth handoff after each sale
- Stay current on product offerings, industry trends, and available incentive programs
- 1-3 years of sales experience (inside sales, phone sales, or a customer-facing consultative role)
- Experience in solar, HVAC, home improvement, or a related industry is a plus - but not required; we provide thorough training
- Comfort explaining financial concepts such as financing plans, tax credits, and return on investment to customers
- Proficiency with CRM software and basic office tools
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Self-motivated, goal-oriented, and organized
