Discover the art of the d2d solar sales pitch with these 4 proven scripts

Solar isn’t just about harnessing the sun’s power; it’s about understanding the market, its unique challenges, and the best solar script to close the deal.

With over half a decade of experience across diverse markets, I’ve sold solar across 13 markets and mentored countless companies and representatives. This journey has unveiled a unique insight: The solar market is as diverse as it is vast.

Different markets require different pitches depending on factors like saturation levels, customer objections, and demographics.

The notion of a “one size fits all” pitch? It’s a myth. Here’s the deal: not every D2D solar sales pitch will resonate with every customer.

After talking to some of the best solar salespeople in the country, I’ve developed four simple D2D solar sales pitches, drawing from their advice on the winning solar door-knocking script and my own experiences shared on the D2D podcast on Spotify, also available on D2D Experts’ official YouTube channel.

Each one is made to connect, convince hit the mark.

Dive into the overview below, or check out the video for a visual walkthrough:
