Featured image for Solar Sales Dilemma: Why 90% of Your Leads Go to Competitors (and How to Get Them Back) - Discover why your solar leads are being won by competitors and the three critical leaks in your sales funnel. Learn AI-powered lead qualification strategies proven with Australian solar installers.

The Three Leaks in Your Solar Sales Funnel

In the hyper-competitive solar industry, the company that responds first, wins. If you're not responding within minutes, you're not even in the race.

1. The Speed Leak

Leads contacted within 1 minute are 400% more likely to convert than those contacted after 30 minutes.

2. The Qualification Leak

Not all leads are created equal. A lack of a robust lead qualification process means your team is flying blind.

3. The Follow-Up Leak

Most solar leads require 5-7 touchpoints before they're ready to commit. Automated multi-channel follow-up keeps conversations alive 24/7.

Plugging the Leaks with AI-Powered Precision

Imagine a different scenario. A lead fills out the form. Within 30 seconds, their phone rings with an AI-powered assistant ready to have a conversation about their solar needs.
