I would like some advice on selling solar energy systems for houses/swimming pools?

Hi there,
I have an interview with a sales company selling solar panel systems for houses/swimming pools.

The benefits of having solar panel energy systems is as follows,

No gas bill to pay for(Energy from sun)
longer life on boiler etc.
Adds value to your house

I have taken the recession into consideration,but the company does offer finance to anybody wishing to make a purchase on this product.
Part of the money you would of used on gas could go towards paying for the finance.

I have recently been made redundant so I have nothing to lose due to this position being commission based only but the leads are confirmed
Thanks very much
paul

PS to check this company out in full,there web address is as follows,

If you have nothing to loose like unemployment benefit or housing benefit etc then go for it but don’t expect to make much money. I have been in telesales for 15 years and the past 4 was in alarms, which were not doing to well and the boss decided to try solar panels, we spent 2 weeks trying and no one was interested, I was made redundant in january and done some part time telesales for a well know double glazing company who also do solar panels but again no one wanted them. Customers just laugh and tell you they cant afford them. The leasing companies are not giving anyone finance at the moment, anyone getting one has to have permission from their council and that puts them off. I don’t want to dishearten you but be prepared to work very hard, spend hours in someones house trying to sell them for very little return. Unless yo have years of high pressure selling in the home improvement market you wont like the job. Good luck.
