How to Generate Solar Sales With Credit Repair

A Solar Introduction

I started my credit repair business in August of 2014. In October of that year, I went to a local street fair and stopped by a table that had been set up by a solar company. The young lady that was behind the table asked me, “have you ever thought about adding solar to your home?” I told her that I hadn’t. But I asked her, “How many times do you sell a solar system and the homeowner can’t qualify due to credit score?” She rolled her eyes and told me that it was an alarming amount. It was frustrating to her and the other salespeople. And, she told me that the turnover of salespeople was high because of it.

Solar Companies Lose Up to 50% of Sales Revenue

I got the manager of the company’s information from her and set an appointment to meet with him. He shared with me during that 1st meeting that (as of November) they had written contracts for about $100 million so far that year and over 50% of the homeowners didn’t qualify for financing. They had lost $50 million in sales that year because homeowners didn’t have the credit score to qualify.

I talked with him about how to generate solar sales with credit repair and we began working together. Each “turn down” they got was passed on to me. We enrolled several of these homeowners in our credit repair program and within a few months, I was passing some of these homeowners back to them as qualified prospects.

How Many Home Owners Will Come Back?

Will every homeowner reach the credit score required by going through our credit repair program? No, not everyone. It will depend on why their credit score is low, to begin with. Will every homeowner that increases their credit score come back to you and have you install solar on their home? No. They may change their mind or have other priorities by that time. It typically takes a minimum of 90 days and up to 6 months or longer in some cases.

But you will get some of them back. Wouldn’t it make sense to start building a pipeline of homeowners that potentially will come back to you as motivated and now qualified prospects? What if it added just 10% to your revenue each year? Depending on the number of sales you or your company does on an annual basis, it could mean millions of dollars in sales.

One Other Option to Consider

Some solar salespeople become Agents with our company. Instead of just referring the client to us they sell our services to that client and generate the income associated with the sale. As an example, one gentleman out of Tampa, Florida started selling our credit repair service in 2019. Today he has a credit repair business that has generated over $300,000 in sales in a year.
