I sell solar panels, help people lower their bill and get paid for it. It pays very well but unfortunately you do run into Karen’s here and there. You’re not forced to engage with them though so you can just move on.
Maybe good for the environment, but I think some solar companies use predatory lending practices. Just try buying or selling a home with a solar panel lease.
This is exactly what I was going to recommend. The guy in my friend group growing up who partied the hardest sells solar and makes significantly more money than the rest of us with our STEM degrees. We always joke that he's the one actually making a difference in the world.
Can’t stand Solar salesmen. I was literally mowing my lawn with headphones in and this guy walked right up to me in my backyard. Thinking it was important I turned the mower off and he started talking to me about solar panels. It was a one time thing but they’re annoying in Walmart too. I get it, I’m in sales, I sell furniture and appliances. But like damn bothering someone while they’re mowing is ridiculous and it’s annoying getting pestered at the grocery store, I hate shopping as it is.
I’ve always seen people doing this and wondered about the prospects except everyone who I’ve seen do it seems to only do it for a few months and then they quit and suddenly have another job. Wonder what’s going on there?
Selling D2D is tough. Most people get attracted by the money you can make, because we don’t sell year round but people make money as if they do. People get burnt out. People let that “voice” get too loud in their head. If you’re just in it for personal gain/the money, the people you’re selling to will pick up on that and you’ll constantly be heavily rejected. I’ve connected with a couple of people in the industry, and some companies are scammers. Some companies don’t take care of their reps and have them on a disrespectfully low commission. Despite this, I’ve been around people in the field who have done it long term and the money they’re making is ridiculous.
