So about the role...
We have an opening in sales that's a little different from many solar sales positions - our Solar Energy Consultant. Since Sandbox+ focuses heavily on
customer experience, referrals, operational quality, and long-term trust, this role is much more relationship-driven and consultative than the stereotypical high-pressure solar sales environment many people picture. In fact, solar energy may not be the only thing you will be selling.
Yes, pipeline management, outbound communication, networking, lead follow-up, and community involvement are all part of the role. But we're looking for someone who can build relationships, communicate clearly, educate customers, represent Sandbox+ professionally, and help homeowners optimize their energy ecosystem. Some of what you will be offering:
- Solar Energy Solutions
- Heat pumps
- HVAC installation
- Battery & charging systems
- Service and maintenance packages
For this role, you'd have to have either:A background in solar, home energy, or construction / roofing related sales
Or
HVAC Sales a Comfort Advisor, home heating, or related industries.
Bonus points for those who have both!But either way, the successful candidate will have a curiosity for our style and values and a desire to not only be part of what we're building, but to learn how we're building. And the ability to cultivate long-term relationships with homeowners and speak confidently about energy systems, utility savings, incentives, rebates, payback periods, and long-term value.
You'd likely be successful here if you are good at- Building strong long-term customer relationships
- Managing your pipeline and followup / follow-through effectively
- Producing measurable results not just lipservice
- Being self-sufficient in developing and managing your own proposals and client presentations
- Engaging with the sales team in a collaborative, not competitive way
- Anticipating challenges, overcoming barriers, and bringing innovative, thoughtful solutions
Heres what we require at a minimum- Valid Drivers License with a clean driving record (no major violations in the past 3 years)
- 1-3 years of direct sales experience in home energy, hvac, or a related field
- Excel, system design, presentation, and proposal software experience
If you've got a Bachelors Degree thats a huge bonus for us
This will not be the right opportunity for those who:- Are used to retail, quick, one-time transactions behind a counter and have never built ongoing, long-term relationships with clients.
- Are uncomfortable with outreach, outbound calling, going to networking events, or initiating conversations with strangers.
- Skip follow-ups, drop the ball, leave emails unanswered, or fail to loop back with clients or teammates.
- Lack a strong presence, aren't confident, articulate, and professional enough to stand out during in-home visits and industry events.
- Hate using software, resist using proposal tools, CRMS, basic sales tech, and view data entry as a waste of time.
- Wait to be told what to do, if you lack personal drive, move slowly, or need a manager constantly pushing you to find the next deal.
- Get easily overwhelmed, struggle to stay organized when juggling multiple active deals and clients at the exact same time.
- Have a big ego, can't take feedback, refuse to learn from others, or put your own pride ahead of the team's success.
Lets get to the payA great relationship-builder who consistently develops trust, manages their pipeline well, and closes quality business can build a substantial income upwards of $200,000 (base + commission) while growing into even larger opportunities within Sandbox+.
A background check will be required for this role.
We estimate this job will be filled by September 30th, but we may extend it as needed.
