C&I Solar Sales Manager
The Sales Manager is the primary point of contact for businesses and non-profits in the market for solar (plus storage) systems on their properties. You will use your solar knowledge, sales best practices, and relationship management skills to cultivate confidence and trust and move commercial customers through the full sales cycle. You will act as the hub for the �EnergySage for Business� Marketplace by guiding these customers through the process of soliciting and evaluating multiple competitive quotes, being the trusted advisor to answer questions along the way, and helping them select the right EPC.

How does the C&I Solar Sales Manager help?
The Sales Manager is responsible for driving an excellent customer and partner experience from registration through contracting. This position does not require lead generation. We have incoming leads and we need you to take them through the shopping process in our marketplace (i.e., helping prospects evaluate multiple bids from pre-screened EPCs). If you love nurturing prospects, hustling to close deals, and figuring out the full value chain, this position is for you.

What you'll do:

Educate customers:
- Translate complex technical knowledge into easily digestible concepts for business stakeholders to understand
- Explain the economic benefits of solar for businesses, specifically with a strong grasp on the tax benefits for commercial properties
- Help businesses to understand different types of solar equipment and financing solutions, make sense of relevant information, and determine pros and cons for each
Lead businesses through the solar comparison shopping process:
- Explain the process for going solar and act as the primary point of contact for each step along the way, including multiple bid comparisons
- Understand each customer�s needs, priorities, properties, and whether they are a good fit for solar
- Actively engage customers already in the pipeline by prioritizing and proactively following up on warm, qualified leads and systematically moving them through the sales funnel
- Build and maintain stakeholder relationships across the full sales cycle
Project management:
- Drive an excellent shopping experience from start to finish; act as the intermediary between customers and solar installers
- Work with customers to gather the appropriate, required information to generate solar quotes
- Manage the process for timely, efficient delivery of project designs and proposals; engage internal and external stakeholders and contractors
- Manage the QA & QC of the shopping process
Industry engagement:
- Participate in solar industry events and product training
- Leverage new industry learnings to enhance C&I solar marketplace offerings, strategies and outcomes

You will love this role if you:

Love to be proactive, and have a business development background
Cultivate ongoing relationships with decision makers from initial contact to closed sale
Establish and maintain trust and confidence with stakeholders, including executives
Can patiently educate customers and answer similar questions, repeatedly
Regularly follow up with decision makers to check on the status of the process
Can maintain a neutral position among multiple competing vendors and products
Thrive on the opportunities present in a base + commission compensation structure

What we look for:

Business development and sales background
Solar and storage experience, especially in the C&I space
Knowledge of financing solutions (e.g., loans, leases, PPAs)
Ability to appropriately engage and manage a variety of stakeholders from senior decision-makers to installers
Experience achieving sales goals in a sales cycle lasting anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months
Experience educating purchasers of a complex, high dollar value product
Several years of work experience that directly translate to our selling model; have a combination of years of experience and/or degree

Confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job - but we believe there's no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications above, we�d still love to hear from you. Tell us about the unique qualities you might bring in your cover letter.
