May 11, 2019 The Cheat Code for Solar Lead Gen (interview with Bill Murphy)
Bill sold gym membership before and it was going okay and then last 2013, he went to the Solar Industry without any sales background. He had an unforgettable first day of work but took off from there. In 2014, they sold about $8.5 Million on his first 12 months!
Bill sees digital marketing as a necessity. He used to buy leads before but had a problem with pitching Solar to leads. So educated himself how to duplicate landing pages. It became successful that they sold 20 to 30 sales a month.
Bill repurposes the same thing that worked and educated the solar industry on how it’s done to solar businesses and it’s been a big hit!
Right now, everybody is obsessed with the new shiny objects but the problem is those are all engines, just tool. But the hard part is to get the people land on your page. But Bill just focuses on the salesmanship and targetting. They do a “done with you” session. They craft a customized campaign that is speaking intimately to a specific market that will make people stop and say “, Hey that’s me.” They teach solar businesses on how to understand the Facebook algorithm.

Quotable Quote:
If you have a strong foundation, you'll work harder, you'll listen better, you'll be more patient at home it'll be more patient with customers. Your ability to push forward is a lot greater than if you have a broken Foundation. So we didn't even get into much of this, but I would just import and everybody out there to focus on their personal foundation first, and then on top of that tack-on sales ability to find in all of these things that your companies teach you all the time.
