    Solar Sales Rep (commission only)-Midlands

    Hi All,

    Having left the Army in June of last year, I have finally found a job that I'm happy with. (its took a while!)
    If you want to be rewarded for your own efforts then this could be it. The role is commission only, the product is an easy sell and offers excellent commission per sale.
    We are looking for people to work in the Renewables industry selling Solar systems throughout the Midlands.
    Solar PV is one of the few growth industries at the moment and has an exciting future.
    The role involves a certain amount of cold calling but leads are also provided from other avenues within the company.
    Must be smart, articulate and most of all - enjoy talking to people.
    Experience in the renewables industry or in sales is not necessary as full training will be given.
    I am looking to fill multiple roles within the Midlands and in the coming weeks the North East and North West.
    There will also be opportunities for Team Leader and Area Manager positions. (salaried)

    Please P.M me for further info

    Regards
    Bill

    That is correct, Solar PV works in daylight even when there is no Sun and I am led to believe that we experience daylight in the UK on a fairly regular basis. I would go as far as saying on a daily basis.

    The industry is government backed and employs approx 39000 people. It has also been highlighted as one of the top industries with the greatest growth potential.
    Thanks for the comment though 'redshift', I am sure there are other people out there who know very little about the industry but hopefully they will refrain from commenting so I can provide a genuine opportunity to potential job seekers.

    It employs 39000 people because it's government backed. Payback periods on PV are horrendous, the last time I looked in the region of 50+ years. Working in building services I've had contact with all manner of renewables, none of which perform as well as the people who make them would like you to think. Apologies for the thread hijack, just saying like.

    Hi, If you check the news today, the government has just lost its appeal so the Feed in Tarriff rate will be returned to his pre Dec 12 2011 rate - that means a manic month in the industry and hopefully followed by some calm as the industry recovers.

    It is not my company, i have just been promoted within the company to Solar product manager and need to urgently recruit. The company has a long track record within the renewables industry.
    I thought I would come on here first (I served for 23 years so thought I would show some loyalty). Starting to wish I hadnt bothered now.
    Could other readers please make their own minds up about the industry, perhaps by doing some of their own research and not listen to the 'self proclaimed internet experts'
    Thanks guys - but no more banter, all future threads (unless genuine job seekers) will be ignored as I am far to busy trying to earn a living.

    Please. I have 2 fucking degrees in Mech.Engg. and Energy Engg., I have been working in renewables for a couple of years now, mostly wind and tidal. But if you're going around spouting opportunities about solar power in the UK, especially on a commission only basis, just don't waste anybody's time. Just move on to some other forum.

    Also, yeah, the reason all the people are "employed" is because of direct govt funding, not because of any proper biz case behind it. And govts change, all the time.

    I need to get to bed. Bye.

    I thought commission only was breaking the minimum wages law ? So you use your own phone ,car, fuel , pay your own stamp etc ?? Are you therefore self -employed .
