We facilitate an energy savings program (not solar) for businesses, through collaboration with regional energy agencies. The program covers 9 Bay Area counties. So there is LOTS of potential/territory.

The program completely covers the costs for a business to participate in the energy savings program, therefore businesses are very inclined to participate. However, the program isn’t usually known to the public/businesses, so this position’s aim is to get the word out by means of door to door canvassing and/or e/tele-marketing.

If you want to canvass in person you would simply visit businesses and inquire with the business about their energy gobbling item. In most cases you can tell the minute you walk in the door. If they fit the need, you can get them on board right then and there, or leave them a flyer. If not, move on.

Simple. No sales pitch. No hassling people. We’re here to inquire and inform. That’s it. Smart businesses will recognize the opportunity and take advantage. We don’t need to “sell” anything and we don’t care to convince anyone.

Smart business owners/fitting businesses will turn into a project for us (which is how we get paid, including you, from the energy agencies).

We have dozens of projects in flight, so yes, businesses are definitely participating.

You can do this full time or at your convenience.

Got LinkedIn or other e-marketing skills? Great! Use your network, start a social media page, etc…

Your pay: 10% of each project’s profit value. The average small business/small project’s value is a few thousand dollars. Naturally, the bigger the business (or businesses that consume alot of energy) = higher value, which results in more pay for you. You would be an independent contractor on 1099 with a formal contract. This is 100% commission, for now.

Our organization is small, and this is not all we do, so who knows how things will develop. It’s very exciting for us!

* Caveat: For flyer distribution, since we can’t actually know if you’ll actually pass out flyers that we would pay for, you’d be required to print the flyers at your own expense. This simply protects our operating costs AND we want our partners to have “skin in the game”. Fedex office currently charges approx 85 cents per color copy. We’re happy to reimburse you for flyers AFTER your first “sale”.

If this all sounds swell, please send your resume.

We look forward to meeting our new partners!
