Anyone who’s made the leap from residential to commercial solar sales can tell you – it’s a different beast. With multiple decision makers and various motivating factors, the commercial and industrial (C&I) sales process takes longer and is more complex.
Today, more companies than ever are considering their environmental impact through their corporate and social responsibility (CSR) or environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. Powering their business with clean, renewable energy is oftentimes a big piece of the puzzle. With the cost of solar decreasing, it’s not only the right thing to do for the environment, but it’s a smart long term business decision for their company.
How can you start working with this growing market segment of commercial and industrial businesses interested in going solar? By learning the process to effectively and efficiently understand their needs and create a solution that fits their goals.
