Two teams.
One switch.

How we run the team

Every solar company says the pay is good. Pay is the easiest thing to copy. What actually decides whether you make it through your first ninety days is the people standing next to you at nine in the morning. So this is how we run.

• We train on the door, not in a classroom

  Your first week is spent shadowing someone who closes. You watch the pitch, you watch it fail, you watch them recover. Then you run your own doors with them standing behind you. Nobody gets handed a script and pointed at a neighborhood.

• Nobody knocks alone

  Areas get worked in pairs. We huddle in the morning, we debrief at night, and the group chat runs all day. A bad stretch of doors is a lot shorter when someone else is in it with you.

• The board is public

  Everybody's numbers are visible to everybody, every day. Not to embarrass anyone — so that a rep who is struggling gets help in week one instead of a conversation in week nine.

• Promotion is arithmetic

  What it takes to run your own team here is written down, and it is made of numbers. You will never be passed over because somebody else is better at being liked by management.

• We say the hard part out loud

  Most doors say no. Some days you close nothing. We talk about that openly rather than pretending everyone here is crushing it, because the reps who last are the ones who knew what they were signing up for.

Why sell with Switch

Every solar company in California will tell you the commission is great and the leads are hot. You have probably already heard it from two of them this month. Here is what is actually different here, in terms you can check.

• You see everything we see

  Full transparency is not a slogan here. You will know what a system costs, what it sells for, what the margin is and what your share of it works out to, before you ever knock on a door. Reps who do not understand the numbers cannot defend them at a kitchen table, and reps who are kept in the dark eventually work out that they were.

• All the training, at no cost to you

  We train you on the product, the objections, the finance options and how a system is actually sized. You will not be charged for training, charged for leads, or asked to buy anything to start. If a company wants money from you before you have earned any, you have found their real business model.

• Pricing that lets you win without selling someone the wrong system

  Our pricing is honest, fair and competitive, which means you can go head to head with anyone in the market on price and still be quoting the system the house actually needs. You never have to choose between winning the deal and doing right by the homeowner. That is the whole point, and it is why our referrals hold up.

• Paid the Friday after install

  Commission is paid on the Friday following completed installation. Not sixty days later, not in pieces, not when somebody gets around to it. You will always know exactly when money is coming and what triggered it.

• Real tools, not a notes app

  You get proper software to manage your pipeline and track every project through to install. You can see where each deal stands without chasing anybody for an answer, which matters most in the weeks where you have a lot of them moving at once.

Two ways in

Door-to-door solar is really two jobs, and most companies blur them together and let new people drown. We separate them, so you can start where you actually are.

From there it keeps going. Closers who can teach become the people new reps shadow, and run their own teams and territory. What it takes to get to each step is written down, and it is made of numbers rather than opinions.

Commission structure and the written criteria for each step are covered on your first call with us.

This is not for everyone

You will hear no far more than yes. You will work afternoons and evenings, including some Saturdays, because that is when people are home. What you earn moves with what you do, which is the appeal and also the risk.

The people who do well here are coachable, hard to embarrass, and competitive with themselves. Experience selling is genuinely optional — we have taught people who had never knocked a door. Wanting a fixed salary and a predictable schedule is not a character flaw, it is just a different job than this one.

We are looking for two things at once, and we will not trade one for the other. Highly motivated, because nobody succeeds at this without wanting it badly. And ethical, because we sell a twenty-five year product to people in their own homes. A rep who oversizes a system to make a bigger cheque costs us a customer, a referral and a reputation that took years to build. We would rather be a person short than carry someone like that.
