Names List
We don’t want to go solar.
No worries - it’s just for practice!
bonus - you’re perfect to practice with because they told us to find some skeptical people too!
I want to check with them first and then I’ll connect you.
No worries! Usually the best way to check in is to put us both on a group message and ask if it’s ok for me to call. That way if they say no, I’ll see it right away and scratch them off the list
Are you guys with SDGE?
Great question, thanks for asking! Net metering is a statewide program so we don’t work for any one utility in particular. <ask a question>
Who owns the panels?
Great question! We actually have a visual aid that explains how all of that works, so it’ll be a lot easier to answer that when we swing by with your report for you guys. I’ll write that down here to make sure cover it.
We’re super busy but call me next week.
I totally understand! It actually only takes 15 minutes and the company wants me to meet with 10 people by Sunday. So it would really help me out if you could squeeeeeeeze me in…
OR - preempt it in your approach :-)
I’m not sure if I know anyone who is interested in solar.
No worries! They don’t actually need to be interested for it to help me out. As long as they own the home, I get credit just for chatting for a few minutes :-) My goal is to talk to 10 people this week.
Who is SEI?
our bill isn’t very high
Awesome thanks for letting me know! Is that you guys just don’t need a lot of power, or are you holding back on the air conditioning and stuff like that?
We already have solar
awesome, thanks for letting me know! Is it making enough power or are you guys still buying power from the utility?
I want to wait and see how my project goes first.
No worries, I totally understand! I won’t call anybody on your list until you tell me it’s ok. Let’s try to get a few names down just to brainstorm who we’ll be talking to once we nail it for you :-)
We’re not interested / we don’t want to change anything right now
I totally understand. Is it that you guys _______ or is that _______ ?
Please leave me a brochure and we’ll take a look.
Sounds good, no worries! It’s a digital brochure, which email should we send that to? Perfect. There are just a few things we need to check on first, since every house is a little different, and then we’ll actually swing by and drop the report off to you guys.
We’re actually renting.
No worries! The company wants me to meet with 10 people this week but they have to be homeowners in order to count. I’m gonna need some help on this one! I’m sure you know a few homeowners who would be nice enough to talk to me for 15 minutes…
I tried to convince ______ to talk to you but they just weren’t interested.
No worries, thanks for trying! They don’t need to be interested for it to help me out :-) I get credit just for talking with people! Would _____ be nice enough to chat with me for a few minutes so I can note their concerns?
We’re renting
Thanks for letting me know! Are you renting from a friend or family member, or from a stranger?
Sunrun was already here a bunch of times guys, we’re not doing it.
Oh man, thanks for letting me know! Those SUNRUN guys make it pretty hard for us to do our jobs. Our program is a little different. The way it works is… <value proposition>
Why is it free?
Great question! It’s not free, we call free the “f” word and we don’t curse. You still pay for your power, it’s just a lot less expensive because they make it on the roof from the sun.
I’ll keep an eye out for people who are interested and let you know
Thanks so much! Do you anyone who… (list thought joggers one by one)
You can leave us your business card.
Perfect, sounds good! It’s a digital card, what’s the best phone number to send that to? <return to pitch>
Ok thanks! The only thing is, I don’t want to make you guys wait and watch me plink stuff into the computer. We collect the bill now and then that way we can have everything ready for you guys.
