Momentum Solar reviews

High pressure car sales, no disrespect to car salesmen. Pressure to one call close a $50K item with a 20 or 25 year loan, and not allow a homeowner to comparatively shop for price and value. This is insane, and slimy. Even if I'm just remodeling a $5K project for example, I'm shopping. If the sale doesn't close, and homeowner states: "I've got another company bidding in a few days" or "I need to research" ....magic then happens. A today only price appears from the sky .....from a manager one calls on speaker while with the homeowner. "Efficient Partner Pricing". You see "our panels are our advising, and by helping us be more efficient, only visit with you once, we pass those savings to people who can move forward today" Vomit. Yes, value is not merely price. It's composed of product and service as well. But how to know value without comparative shopping? Momentum is on the high side of pricing, and that's not necessarily a negative....but one needs to comparative shop to evaluate value. On to Orwell and how dystopia arrived. After investing one week of very hard work, one week into training, on iPad set up day they only then announce Rilla, an electronic voice recording nanny one must activate for each appointment. Big Brother is here. I never would have accepted the job offer if told about Rilla during the interview process. Would you have accepted? Promised 15 appointments per week, 3 per day. Reality? I sat with 3 to 4 homeowners per week. 70% of appointments were trash - no shows, connected townhouses (not qualified), and similar wastes of my time. Factor in no or very poor savings with solar for many homeowners ("Wow, in year 4 of your 20 year loan, compared to the evil utility that keeps increasing rates, you start to save $4 per month!!), or poor credit.... about 60% of actual sits are a potential sale.

Where to begin? To start with, that salary they post on Indeed (60-80k on your first year) is functionally a lie. Is it possible to earn that? Sure. However, most won't. Excluding the best, the most any canvasser is making is 3k a month, but even that's doubtful. It labels itself as a marketing position, it's really a high volume sales job. It's all about setting appointments by going door to door. I was actively encouraged to pressure homeowners and even lie to get appointments out of them. There is no aspect to this job where you are not at fault. In the few people who you'll get genuinely interested in the program, they could get disqualified because their credit is too low. Many people know this, so we were encouraged to have them say yes to a 630 credit score anyway. And if they cancel later? You should have built more value in the appointment (something you were doing anyway). Didnt get your 2 appointments that day? You should have built good rapport (translation: you didn't pressure them enough) It felt super dishonest so I quit after 2 month's. Oh, and the threat of being fired will always loom over your head if your behind.
