A compelling, personalized proposal that speaks directly to your customer\u2019s needs gives you a real leg up on the competition. Likewise, a generic, text-heavy proposal that reads like a legal contract can put your sales team at a disadvantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, what makes a great proposal? We had a roundtable discussion with a group of solar experts to answer that very question. Based on their advice, we developed the <a href=\"https:\/\/aurorasolar.com\/resources\/the-solar-sales-playbook-for-proposals-that-close\/?aurora_blog_cta=inline-text\">Solar Sales Playbook For Proposals That Close<\/a>.

Someone looking for relief from a huge electric bill will want to see different things in their proposal than a homeowner looking to help cut their environmental impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our research on the <a href=\"https:\/\/aurorasolar.com\/5-solar-buyers?aurora_blog_cta=inline-text\">5 Types of Solar Buyers<\/a> is a great place to get a detailed look at the different categories of buyers that you\u2019ll likely encounter. But, it\u2019s tough to know exactly what any particular customer is looking for before you meet them and ask them some questions. Once you know their unique challenges and goals, you\u2019re in a better spot to deliver a proposal that meets their specific needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The roundtable of sales experts says\u2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Delivering a customized, frictionless proposal process is as important to your prospective customer as it is for your sales reps. Equipping your sales team with smart software will empower them to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Make adjustments on the spot based on customer feedback<\/li><li>Show the customer the cost adders, incentives, and discounts that are automatically built into the system<\/li><li>Close with automated contract generation and integrated e-signature options<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highlight the finances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While every buyer is different, most people are concerned about system costs. With so many incentives, tax breaks, and other considerations, though, financing is also one of the things customers find most confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solar customers appreciate when a proposal includes information that helps them make sense of their options. You can help remove financial barriers for prospective customers by showing them federal and local incentives, as well as attractive loan options tailored to their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aurorasolar.com\/sales-mode\/?aurora_blog_cta=image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/aurorasolar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/6-SalesMode-carousel-800-8.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2065\"\/><\/a><figcaption>A proposal customized for each customer is critical to standing out in the crowd.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The roundtable of experts says\u2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use your proposal to position yourself as an informative teacher rather than a salesperson. By empathizing with your leads and working with them on their concerns, you will win their trust and leave a positive impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means you\u2019ll need to be able to answer a few questions accurately and honestly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How much will the system cost, all in?<\/li><li>How much will the customer save over time?<\/li><li>What are the details on the incentive types and loan options the customer may qualify for?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be exceptional&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We know, you <em>are<\/em> exceptional!

Of course that means helping you design optimal solar projects faster and more easily. But, it also means helping you create stunning, personalized proposals so your proposed designs actually become reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re on a constant journey to discover the key factors that make proposals successful. First, we <strong>commissioned branding and marketing expert Katherine Glass<\/strong> to research the sales experiences of solar customers, to understand what drove their decisions about installing solar, and solar professionals to understand what elements they had observed to be important in proposals and the solar sales process more broadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glass is the founder of SpringMark, a marketing and brand strategy firm. Before founding SpringMark, she worked for global creative consultancy Lippincott, where she helped shape the brands of major companies like Delta, Petco, and Starbucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her research, Glass spoke with a selection of homeowners around the country who were at different stages in the solar sales process to understand the factors that influenced their decisions. Some had installed solar, some were in the process of installing solar, and others had considered installing solar but ultimately decided against it, providing a diversity of perspectives and experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then <strong>convened a roundtable session of seasoned solar professionals<\/strong> at our office to integrate insights from their sales experiences. Katherine facilitated the session and identified common themes and lessons about what makes proposals successful from the contractor perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/3858309\/AuroraSolarBlog_October2017\/Images\/Roundtable_Group_Shot_crop.jpg\" alt=\"participants of Aurora\u2019s roundtable workshop on solar sales proposals\"\/><figcaption><em>Some of the participants of Aurora\u2019s roundtable workshop on solar sales proposals: (from left) Zayith Pinto, Residential Sales Manager at Sunworks Inc.; Ty Simpson, Regional Sales Manager of Bland Solar and Air; Michelle Meier, Director of Solar Services at BSW Roofing &amp; Solar, and President at Solar Roof Services LLC; and Vernon Stratton, CEO of Polar Solar.
