| Job Description: |
This is an opportunity to transfer INTO the Solar Market without requiring the prior years of experience! Yes, I am specifically looking for career transition people to move into the solar market using your prior success in other fields.
Think you have what it takes to participate in the fast-paced solar market? Do you have a natural aptitude for sales and marketing? Are you passionate about renewable energy and THE BUSINESS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY? Solar Universe (www.solaruniverse.com) is expanding our Franchise Development team that is responsible for building our nationwide network of independently owned and operated Solar Universe offices.
Some Background:
Solar Universe was mentioned six times in an recent Entrepreneur Magazine article! http://www.entrepreneur.com/franchises/franchisezone/howto/article204998.html titled "Franchise Your Business in 7 Steps." What we feel is important to potential new network members is that our system is being recognized for our work on the franchisor side that supports our independently owned network members.
Franchising is NOT an F-word.
Franchises are a partnership model based on mutual success. The value proposition the Solar Universe brings to our network partners is a turn-key business built on:
1. Industry leading training (classroom & hands-on)
2. State-of-the-art infrastructure and tools
3. Pre-designed sales & marketing plans
4. Technical, operations & sales support
5. Volume pricing & instant credit terms on solar supplies
In short, this is a proven and formatted business model for the solar industry that allows our partners to rapidly focus on revenue rather than creating a new business from scratch.
Position Information:
Based in the SF Bay Area, this role will focus on building a nationwide pipeline of existing contractors who represent our ideal network partner. Using a structured and formatted process, this position is responsible for prospecting, contacting, and introducing potential franchise partners into the franchise development process. As expertise builds, franchise developers will take on additional responsibilities in this process. Initially, this role will focus on first contacts/introductions similar to an inside sales role in high-tech organizations.
