Community Solar Script
Hey this is (Your Name) is (Customer Name) we had an appointment today to discuss a new government backed energy savings program for (His/or Her) business.
(Customer will respond yes it’s me or direct you to who to talk to) (Assuming yes thats me continue conversation) Also, would you like to do a video call instead I can email you a link if you like so I can show you what I am talking about or would you prefer to continue this over the phone? What works best for you?
PART 1 (How it Works)
Great! So has anyone explained to you how this program works? (They often say no if they say yes just rephrase and say I’m sure you know that…) No problem I’ll explain… So the government has subsidized unused land in the state it and provided grants to solar farm developers like us to build solar farms.
I work with (utility name) for a solar farm company called (name company)
Have you seen any of these solar farms driving around town maybe off the side of the road?) (Let customer respond Yes or no) Well lots of these have been built recently. In exchange for us receiving grants from the state of (Name state) we are required to offer discounts to residents and businesses in the utilities we operate in like (say utility name).
Does that make sense? (Pause if they say yes move on to part 2. If they say no provide further explanation.
(SEGWAY- Benefits)
In addition, companies like ours help the state of (Name state) reach their energy goals of going 100% renewable energy by the year 2040. This provides a huge benefit to your community. We selected businesses like yours rather than lets say a large store like walmart as the program is supposed to provide equal access to all for cheaper cleaner power which helps strengthen the community. With this being said there are only so many spots available as there are only so many farms in (utility name) and only so much room on each farm. The great thing is these farms are already being built, meaning no need to install solar panels on your roof. This program is 100% free and you receive a 10% discount on your electricity bill guranteed. As you can see this community based program has a lot of benefits would you agree? (Pause wait for response)
Part 2 (The preview)
The great part about this program is it's easy and free to sign up and we guarantee everything in writing. What we do is collect some basic information on your electric bill like the name on the bill, the address and the account number so we can add the discount to your account. Then we send you an email with a link to set up your savings portal & the agreement that you will sign digitally guaranteeing you the discount in writing.
Do you have a copy of your bill handy?
OR
So what’s the name on the bill? (wait for response) What's the address? Wait for response) Is your billing address different than your service address? (Wait for response) Do you have any other locations? What's your account number on the bill so we can attach the discount to your account? (Wait for response repeat back number) great and we are going to do a quick identity verification. Now I just need your email so I can send you the agreement.
Part 3 (Explaining the Bill)
example, For every $100 dollars per month on your electric bill you would now only be paying $90 with the discount we are providing you. The portal we created for you allows you to see what you were going to pay and what you are paying with the discount while going green. To reserve your spot the last part is to input future auto-pay information. You can pay with Debit, Credit or Check, but recommend Debit to start as the ACH/Checking account needs to be verified. You can change your auto-pay info in the portal any time. The link to your portal to enroll is in your email. Go ahead and pull it up and set a password you will remember & I will guide you through it.
