Sales funnel structure for solar companies

1. Lead Magnet (Awareness): Offer a free, valuable resource such as a "Solar Savings Calculator," an eBook, or a guide on "How to Choose the Right Solar System for Your Home," in exchange for their contact information. This will help generate leads and build an email list.

2. Low-Cost Tripwire Offer (Interest): Introduce a low-cost offer, such as a discounted solar energy audit or consultation, to turn leads into customers. This helps to build trust and credibility while minimizing the perceived risk for prospects.

3. Core Offer (Desire): Present your core offer, which could be a customized solar panel installation package or a solar lease/PPA option. Include a detailed proposal outlining the costs, savings, and benefits, along with financing options if applicable.

4. Upsell (Action): Offer upsells to maximize the value of each customer. These could include extended warranties, maintenance packages, solar battery storage systems, or energy-efficient products (e.g., smart thermostats or LED lighting).

5. Downsell (Action): If the prospect declines the upsell, offer a downsell. This could be a smaller solar panel system, reduced maintenance package, or financing incentives to make the offer more affordable and appealing.

6. Post-Purchase Follow-Up (Retention): After the sale, maintain communication with the customer through email or phone calls. Share valuable content, updates on solar industry trends, and referral incentives. This will help nurture the relationship and potentially lead to future upsells, referrals, and testimonials.

Throughout the funnel, use targeted content (such as blog posts, videos, and case studies) to educate prospects about the benefits of solar energy, address common objections, and showcase your company's expertise and experience in the industry. Additionally, use email marketing and retargeting campaigns to keep your solar company top-of-mind for prospects who may not have converted yet.
