Consultants, commercial reps, managers, new hires and owners each get the process and tools for their role.

In-Home Solar Consultations That Close

In-Home Solar Consultations That Close

Solar consultants sit at kitchen tables with homeowners weighing a long-term decision. Baseline Selling gives every consultant one process, from the first question to the signed agreement.

Consultants lead with panels, savings charts and financing, then wait for an answer that never comes. Homeowners shop the quote and stall.
Feel the Pain and Compelling Reasons uncover why the homeowner is looking now, so the proposal answers their real reasons instead of a generic savings pitch.
The Baseline Selling Sales Script, Pre-Call Planning Worksheet, Compelling Reasons Worksheet and the Inoffensive Close, applied to residential solar appointments.

Commercial Solar and Multi-Stakeholder Deals

Commercial Solar and Multi-Stakeholder Deals

Commercial projects involve owners, facility managers and finance teams. Reps learn to sell as a peer to every decision maker instead of pitching one contact.

One champion likes the proposal, then the deal stalls when finance or ownership gets involved and nobody mapped the decision process.
Equal Business Stature, Decision Process Questions and Quantifying the Problem put real dollars on energy, risk and timing for every stakeholder.
Decision Process Questions, the Quantifying the Problem Worksheet, the Polarity Pinup and the ADM Cheat Sheet for long commercial sales cycles.

Sales Managers and Solar Owners

Sales Managers and Solar Owners

If you are still running every big deal yourself, the business cannot grow past you. We help you build a team that sells the way you do.

The owner closes the best deals, coaches when there is time and has no clear view of which proposals will actually sign this month.
Milestone tracking, weekly coaching calls and the Salesperson Coaching Process give managers one way to coach and one view of the whole pipeline.
The Sales Meeting Template, Ride Along Evaluation Form, Pipeline Management Worksheet and 9 coaching checklists, plus monthly Boardroom calls with Ryan for leaders.

Hiring and Onboarding Solar Consultants

Hiring and Onboarding Solar Consultants

A bad sales hire burns the appointments you paid for. The OMG Assessment shows a candidate's Will to Sell and Sales DNA before you hand over your leads.

Consultants get hired on energy and confidence, then stall within months, and the appointments you paid for go nowhere.
Assess candidates with OMG, then onboard them through the same Baseline Selling process and milestones the rest of your team already runs.
The OMG Sales Assessment, Recruiting Funnel, Ideal Customer Profile and Residential Sales Scorecard to measure new consultants from their very first ride-along.

Online Training and the STG Community

Not ready for coaching yet? STG Academy on Skool gives your team 10 courses and 545 modules, plus a community of 591+ members working the same system.

Consultants forget training within weeks when there is no follow-up, no practice and nobody holding them to the new process.
Self-paced courses with phase quizzes, weekly coaching call recordings and a resource library your consultants can open before their next appointment.
Downloadable scripts, worksheets, pinups and role-play scenarios, organized into residential, commercial and leadership tracks inside STG Academy.

Owners and Leadership Teams in the Boardroom

Owners and Leadership Teams in the Boardroom

Monthly Boardroom calls with Ryan Groth are for leadership teams only, not reps. Owners work on the business side of sales: goals, constraints and daily standards.

Owners spend the week putting out fires and never step back to fix the one constraint that is choking sales growth.
Theory of Constraints, the Achievement Roadmap Process and the 6 Daily Standards give leaders a short list of what actually moves the business.
Monthly Boardroom coaching with Ryan, the Achievement Roadmap, Sample Sales Leader Time Blocks and the High Performing Clubhouse Guide.

How It Works

From First Call to a Coached Solar Sales Team

Every engagement follows the same four steps, whether you run five consultants or fifty. We start with data, not opinions.

1

Book a 45-Minute Call

Tell us about your team, your lead flow and where deals stall. We will tell you honestly whether STG is a fit.

2

Assess Every Consultant With OMG

Your consultants and sales managers take the OMG Sales Assessment, so we know each person's Will to Sell, Sales DNA and skill gaps.

3

Install Baseline Selling and Milestones

Your team learns one shared process for every solar appointment, with milestones that show where every deal stands in your pipeline.

4

Coach Weekly and Track Progress

Weekly coaching, ride-alongs and milestone reviews keep the process running. You see close rates and pipeline movement instead of guessing.

Ready to Fix Solar Sales?

Straight answers, no pitch.

In 45 minutes we look at how your consultants sell today, where deals stall and what a sales operating system would change.

  • One Baseline Selling process for every consultant
  • OMG assessment data on every rep
  • Weekly coaching and accountability
  • Built only for contractors

No pressure, just answers

Three Frameworks Your Solar Consultants Will Use Daily

Pulled from STG's 15+ Baseline Selling frameworks and applied to residential and commercial solar appointments.

Feel the Pain Discovery

Your job is not to fix it yet. Consultants learn to label, expand and quantify the homeowner's problem before they present a single system design.

  • Ask questions that create doubt in the status quo
  • Double-click on dissatisfaction
  • Recap in the homeowner's own words

Quantifying the Problem Before Price

Do not pitch until the cost of doing nothing is obvious. Consultants put real dollars on what waiting costs the homeowner before the proposal comes out.

  • Shift the talk to the cost of inaction
  • Uncover the compelling reason to act now
  • Stop pitching price before second base

The Inoffensive Close at the Kitchen Table

Asking for the commitment without pressure. When pain, budget and decision process are handled first, the close simply confirms a decision the homeowner already made.

  • No slimy closer tactics
  • Prevent objections by qualifying first
  • Confirm the decision instead of pushing for it

Generic Sales Training vs. STG for Solar

Your consultants sell at kitchen tables and in boardrooms, not on stage. The training should match.

Generic Training

One-Size-Fits-All Sales Courses

Training designed for any industry, delivered once, then left to your managers to reinforce. The examples rarely match an in-home solar consultation.

  • Generic B2B or retail examples
  • No objective rep assessment
  • Scripts without a tracked process
  • One-time event, no follow-up
  • You still manage the team alone
STG

Process, assessment data, weekly coaching and 30+ tools, built for contractors and applied to your solar appointments, with fractional leadership when you need it.

  • Contractor-only, built for the trades
  • OMG assessment of every rep
  • Baseline Selling with 36 milestones

Solar Sales Training Questions

What solar owners and sales managers ask before working with STG.

STG trains only contractors. The system is built for in-home and commercial trade sales, and solar teams use the same Baseline Selling process, assessment and coaching, applied to their own appointments.

Yes. Residential consultants and commercial reps get separate coaching tracks. Commercial reps learn Equal Business Stature and Decision Process Questions for owners, facility managers and finance teams.

We do not guarantee results. Too many variables sit outside any program. We promise the process, the OMG assessment data, weekly coaching and the support to install it. Your team does the work.

One Baseline Selling process, an OMG assessment, weekly live coaching, the STG Academy library of 10 courses and 545 modules, and 30+ scripts, worksheets and scorecards.

Yes. With Platinum Fractional Sales Leadership, STG manages your sales team as if it were our own, including coaching, meetings and pipeline accountability, while you lead the company.

Book a 45-minute call. We look at your team, lead flow and where deals stall, then recommend coaching, a workshop or fractional leadership, or tell you honestly if we are not a fit.
