Every cancelled solar deal is revenue walking out the door. Your job is to catch it, save it, and send it to install.
Panasun Solar is hiring a Retention Specialist to run our save desk. You'll call homeowners who signed a solar agreement and then cancelled — or are about to cancel — and bring them back. You identify what went wrong, resolve their concerns, and get the deal back on track toward installation. If you've got the sales instincts to flip a "we changed our mind" into a signed recommitment, and you want to get paid every time you do it, this is the role.
This is a sales position. You are not answering support tickets. You are closing deals for the second time — with harder objections.
What You'll Do
• Call homeowners who have cancelled or are at risk of cancelling their solar agreement and save the deal
• Identify the real objection behind every cancellation — price, spouse, timing, competitor, trust — and resolve it
• Re-present the value of going solar: utility savings, financing terms, tax incentives, and long-term ROI
• Proactively reach out to stagnant or at-risk deals before they formally cancel
• Coordinate with our sales team and operations to resolve design, permitting, or timeline concerns holding projects back
• Track every interaction and outcome in our CRM with strong attention to detail
• Surface patterns — if you're hearing the same objection five times in a week, flag it so we can fix the root cause
How You Get Paid
$20/hour base pay, plus commission on every deal you save. Your commission is 50% of the closer commission on each saved deal that reaches installation. The more deals you save, the more you earn — there is no cap. This is a W2 position with consistent base pay and real upside for someone who produces.
What We're Looking For
• Sales experience is non-negotiable. Whether it's solar, telecom retention, insurance save desk, home services, or SaaS cancellation — you've spent time on the phone convincing people who were ready to leave to stay or buy again. 1+ year minimum.
• You're an objection-handling machine. You don't hear "no" and hang up. You hear "no" and get curious. You dig until you find the real concern and then you address it head-on.
• You control a conversation without being aggressive. The best retention people are assertive but empathetic. You listen first, then guide.
• You're motivated by money and metrics. You want to see your save rate, your revenue recovered, and your commission check — and you want to beat last month's numbers.
• Solar experience is a plus, not a requirement. If you know residential solar (net metering, ITC, loan vs. lease, utility rate structures), you'll ramp faster. If you don't, we'll train you on the product — but you need the sales DNA coming in the door.
What You Get
• $20/hour base pay plus uncapped commission (50% of closer commission per saved deal)
• All warm leads — you are never cold calling. Every person you talk to already said yes to solar once
• A fast-growing company with 25+ reps in the field generating consistent deal flow
• In-office role in Orlando with a team that takes performance seriously
• Clear metrics, honest feedback, and the opportunity to build this function as we scale
