Full Job Description
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 pay

A 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+.

We estimate this job will be filled by September 30th, but we may extend it as needed.
