Setter or closer: choosing your first solar sales role
The right starting role depends on which part of the customer conversation you can handle reliably today.
A practical approach
Ask to observe both prospecting and a proposal appointment. A setter needs to start a useful conversation, gather basic context and arrange the next step. A closer needs to lead deeper discovery and explain a proposal without guessing. Choose the role with a clear training path, not simply the more impressive title.
Put it into practice
- Observe a real workflow
- Ask how readiness is assessed
- Confirm the written responsibilities
