Job description

  
 

Since 2015, Venture Home has been shaking up the regional solar industry with a focus on sustainability, excellence and a vibrant company culture. We are one of only five companies statewide to earn the prestigious Platinum Designation Solar Installer Award from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) Backed by a stellar 4.7 out of 5 rating from Forbes Home, we are recognized as an elite leader in our field, and we’re just getting started.

About the Role

A Solar Sales Consultant is NOT a lead generation role where you will be asked to knock on doors or cold call. We are seeking experienced sales representatives that are closers with a track record of success in sales and are looking for the right environment to be successful. A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND A LICENSE IS REQUIRED TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE POSITION.
Our appointment setting teams will schedule qualified appointments on your calendar for you to meet with the homeowner(s) and close with the best combination of products, services, and track record in the industry.
We view the sales process in solar to be educational and we realize that it is an emotional decision for people to make the switch, so we focus on making sure that our customers understand not just how solar works, but also where the money is coming from to help pay for their project so that it doesn't seem "too good to be true".
What you’ll bring:

  • Sales experience - Required
  • Outside sales (In-home sales) - preferred
  • Solar experience – welcomed
  • Willingness to learn

Benefits:

  • Base salary plus commission
  • 401k match program
  • Health, Dental, and Vision insurance
  • Paid training 
  • Paid Time Off
  • Referral program
  • Opportunities for professional advancement 

Compensation:

  • Base salary + uncapped commission (OTE $100,000-$250,000)
