Read the case study →Hiring solar sales reps: common questions
How fast can you hire solar sales reps?
The engine is built and running in about two and a half weeks, with first candidates typically inside the first week and reps in the field within 14 to 17 days. A 90-day implementation phase dials in messaging and candidate quality per office.
How much does it cost to recruit a solar sales rep?
Ad spend to land a rep who reaches the field generally runs $200 to $1,000 depending on market size and how selective you are. You fund your own ad budget (primarily Indeed) with no markup from us; the retainer is separate and scoped to your volume.
Do you recruit setters and closers for residential solar?
Yes. Residential origination usually needs appointment setters and canvassers at volume plus closers, and we run origination-specific funnels that feed both from one engine.
How do you handle retention with NEM 3.0 and rate headwinds?
Comp alone will not hold reps in a tougher solar market. The pre-launch training is built to get new reps to their first commission inside about 30 days, because early wins are what keep origination reps in the seat when the market gets harder.
Have you actually recruited in solar yourselves?
Yes. D2D HIRE was founder-built inside our own solar company, which we scaled to 2,000+ reps and $130M+ in production before installing the same engine inside 12+ other solar partners.
Hear from partners we’ve scaled with
“In our first month with D2D HIRE, we brought on eight new reps. Three months later, six of them are still here and producing. We're now the top office in the company.”
“They helped us tighten our back-end so we could grow based on real, reliable, predictable systems instead of hopes, dreams, and shoestrings. We stopped second-guessing our training and started keeping the right people.”
“They helped us hire nearly 100 new sales reps in one season, and many are now among our top performers. I have confidence knowing I don't just have a recruiting vendor. I have a true business partner.”
