Some of the most successful and fastest growing solar companies have already adopted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aurorasolar.com\/why-you-need-a-remote-solar-sales-process-and-how-to-build-one\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">remote sales processes<\/a>. Several advantages of remote selling include increased territories, lower customer acquisition costs, zero travel, and increased appointment bookings.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>To help conceptualize what it would take to make this transition, we paired Aurora Solar\u2019s Account Executive Elliot Goldstein with Baker Electric Home Energy\u2019s Senior Solar Energy Consultant Meital Stotland in a webinar with PV Magazine. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/2pQG4aODR84\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tune into their discussion here<\/a>, where they highlight four themes to keep in mind about remote solar sales, or continue reading for the key takeaways (and <a href=\"#infographic\" rel=\" noopener\">don&#8217;t miss out the infographic<\/a> at the end of this article).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Set up a Sales Process for Remote Selling<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are some in-person sales processes that also apply to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aurorasolar.com\/why-you-need-a-remote-solar-sales-process-and-how-to-build-one\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">remote selling<\/a>, e.g., having a strong inbound lead funnel and a system that allows you to quickly respond to leads and book appointments. The key difference with remote sales is that you\u2019re selling without any physical presence.<\/p>\n<p>The first process to set up is what you\u2019ll be using to replace your physical presence in a customer\u2019s home. The best solution is video conferencing with the ability to share your computer screen. After you\u2019ve selected a platform you\u2019re most comfortable with, Meital Stotland recommended as practice, to find the least tech savvy person you know and walk them through how to set it up over the phone.<\/p>\n<p>Once a remote appointment is booked, Meital says \u201cpreparation is vital,\u201d just like when you\u2019re on the ground doing field consultations, but a little different. For remote sales, <em>before the first consultation call<\/em>, here are a few good practices:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Get a copy of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aurorasolar.com\/4-ways-for-solar-leads-to-share-the-utility-data-you-need\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">electricity bill<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Ask for pictures of their electrical panel to have on hand; don\u2019t forget to share what specifically you\u2019re looking for<\/li>\n<li>Send an email with instructions on how to set up and use the video conference platform, and what the backup plan is if it doesn\u2019t work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Essential Technologies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to using a video conference platform, there are a couple very helpful technologies to consider for remote sales. Meital mentioned that Baker Electric Home Energy has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aurorasolar.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">using Aurora<\/a> for sometime now, and \u201cit&#8217;s a great tool to have when you&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aurorasolar.com\/features\/design\">designing and selling remotely<\/a>.\u201d Meital shares her screen with her prospects while logged into Aurora, and co-designs their PV system with them, just as she would at the kitchen table. Elliot pointed out that having the ability to show customers Aurora\u2019s capabilities, such as up to date imagery with NearMap, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aurorasolar.com\/make-aurora-solar-software-your-secret-weapon-for-solar-sales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LIDAR, and energy production estimates<\/a>, can help build credibility and trust with customers.<\/p>\n<p>Another technology that is very useful for remote sales is an electronic signature tool. The one Baker Electric Home Energy uses is DocuSign, and Meital shared that you can easily review the agreement with customers, answer their questions, and show them where to sign remotely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adjustments to Your Sales Pitch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Elliot and Meital provided a number of tips on how to adjust <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aurorasolar.com\/the-3-questions-your-solar-sales-pitch-needs-to-answer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">your sales pitch<\/a> for remote sales. For starters, since you won\u2019t be physically present, your tone of voice will be key to conveying your energy and confidence. Make sure to use the camera. Building trust will be a little more challenging with remote sales, and allowing your customer to see you will help.<\/p>\n<p>Second, write a skeleton outline of your solar consultation to help you stay focused. Take advantage of now having the ability to have notes next to you during an appointment. Elliot suggests that if you\u2019re a sales leader, it\u2019s a great opportunity to shadow your team members, record and share the calls that went well to help the team grow.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, with current events and stay at home orders, not everything will be perfect. It\u2019s okay to share that you\u2019re working from home and might get interrupted. It\u2019s okay to be human, \u201cgive yourself a break, but still be professional, make sure you address all of their motivations and all of their objections\u201d says Meital. Elliot added that the key here is \u201cempathizing with the moment, people really have a lot of uncertainty that we&#8217;re all processing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Closing the Sale<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Avoid the temptation to end your call with \u201cokay, I\u2019ll check in with you next week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ask for the sale. There\u2019s no downsides to asking for the business. You\u2019ll either get the sale or find out the reasons for their hesitations and know what is needed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aurorasolar.com\/learn-to-talc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">close the sale<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s best not to assume that during these difficult times people don\u2019t want to go solar. Let them make this decision. Some may have been putting off this purchase decision until they have more time to think about it and many may now just be considering it with their rising electricity bill.<\/p>\n<p>Something else to keep in mind: be ready with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aurorasolar.com\/your-solar-finance-primer-what-to-know-about-the-top-four-solar-financing-options\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">payment plan<\/a>. Consider switching from cash to to loan or lease option plans. \u201cI think a lot of us in the solar industry have been selling cash; the last couple of years, it&#8217;s been a wonderful land of cash,\u201d said Meital. \u201cAnd now I think we need to remember what it was like to sell during the recession.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If after addressing all their concerns, and they\u2019re still not ready to buy, you can always ask them \u201chow would you like me to follow up?\u201d Meital suggested it\u2019s a good idea to have a methodology of how you\u2019re going to follow up, because unless they say \u201cdon\u2019t call me, I\u2019m not interested,\u201d you should.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of a series of activities Aurora is putting together to help share insights on the topic of remote sales.
