Sales Manager – Founding Hire, Build & Lead a New Solar Sales Team
This is a founding leadership role that will grow in stages.
Stage 1 involves selling pre-qualified, booked leads yourself, learning products, pricing and customers, and proving the sales process works at Solargenic.
No cold calling, no door-knocking.
Stage 2 involves working directly with the owner to design how Solargenic sells: the process, pitch, proposal templates, CRM setup and KPIs.
Stage 3 involves recruiting, onboarding and coaching consultants, running the numbers and owning the department's results.
By this point you are the Sales Manager in title and in practice, with a team override on top of your own commission.
How fast you move through the stages depends on you, not on a calendar.
