  • Present proposals confidently and follow up consistently to close agreements
  • Negotiate pricing and service terms within company guidelines

Job Coordination & Field Support
  • Collaborate with the Solar Service Advisor and internal team to ensure smooth transitions from signed agreement to scheduled work

  • Serve as an ongoing point of contact for partners throughout the life of a job when needed
  • Relay partner feedback to the service team to continuously improve the customer and partner experience

Reporting & CRM
