Key Responsibilities

  • Lead by example: Participate in field canvassing and demonstrate best practices. Branch Managers can expect to spend a large portion of their time in the field, and doing field checks for the first few weeks of the program, before transitioning to a more team management and administrative focused role.
  • Team Leadership: Recruit, train, manage, and motivate a team of canvassers to meet daily, weekly, and monthly lead generation targets.
  • Coaching & Development: Conduct regular team meetings, roleplays, and one-on-one coaching sessions to build canvasser confidence and skillsets.
  • Performance Management: Set clear KPIs, monitor field activity, and implement accountability systems to ensure consistent high performance.
  • Operational Oversight: Coordinate daily field operations, assign territories, and track canvassing progress using CRM and mapping tools.
  • Strategy Development: Develop and refine scripts, objection-handling techniques, and canvassing strategies to improve lead conversion rates.
  • Quality Control: Ensure leads meet qualification standards and are accurately captured and entered into the CRM system.
  • Cross-Departmental Collaboration: Work closely with support departments and national leadership to ensure alignment between field operations and company standards. Reporting & Analytics: Analyze lead data and team performance metrics to identify trends, track ROI, and drive continuous improvement.
  • Compliance & Safety: Ensure canvassing activities are conducted in compliance with local laws, community guidelines, company policy and safety protocols.

Qualifications

  • 1-2+ years of experience in door-to-door sales; such as home improvement, storm repair, energy deregulation, solar and telecom
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to inspire and lead a diverse team.
  • Excellent organizational and time-management abilities.
  • Data-driven mindset with the ability to analyze performance metrics and make strategic decisions.
  • Proficiency with CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot) and field management software.
  • Willingness to work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends as needed.
  • Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
  • Must posses a cell phone and laptop
  • Experience in the solar industry is strongly preferred.

Branch Manager Commission And Override Plan

  • Personal earning plan: Uncapped Commission on personal sales.
  • Team earning plan: Uncapped overrides on all team sales.

The Commission/Override Plan is subject to change in accordance with the business needs.
