Must-Have Sales Solutions
1. Bill Estimations
Homeowners may have varying levels of information regarding their energy usage. Some may have their most recent utility bill on hand, others may just have their best guess for what they pay each month on average. With smart software, you can input a homeowner’s address with one month’s utility bill to extrapolate their annual usage based on other homes in the area.
An integrated utility rate database even auto-selects the utility and rate based on the project location so that your reps don’t have to figure them out manually. This gives the homeowner the flexibility to input whatever information they have available while making accurate estimations.
