Speaker 1 (00:03):

Welcome to the Solarpreneur podcast, where we teach you to take your solar business to the next level. My name is Taylor Armstrong and I went from $50 in my bank account and struggling for groceries to closing 150 deals in a year and cracking the code on why sales reps fail. I teach you to avoid the mistakes I made and bringing the top solar dogs, the industry to let you in on the secrets of generating more leads, falling up like a pro and closing more deals. What is a Solarpreneur you might ask a Solarpreneur is a new breed of solar pro that is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve mastery and you are about to become one.

Speaker 1 (00:55):

Let's jump into it. My name's Taylor Armstrong. I'm here to help you close more deals, generate more leads and referrals, and hopefully have a much more enjoyable time in the solar industry. Hope you're doing well here. We just passed Halloween and I will say, uh, those that don't know, I have a kid he's two years old now. And if you haven't experienced Halloween with a two year old, it's pretty funny, definitely would recommend it. We took him out. Uh, he was just as Harry Potter, had the glasses, the scar, the, uh, the wand out and, uh, people loved them. We loaded up on the candy. So would definitely recommend that if you, you know, have a kid to go trick or treating with, it's much more, uh, you know, much better reception knocking on doors when people are expecting you to get candy. And that's, what's cool about that holiday.

Speaker 1 (01:50):

If you didn't go trick or treating, that's how you really need to think of knocking doors, selling solar panels. Because if you have that same attitude that people want you at their door, that they're going to open up for you, except you with welcome arms, then it's much more likely to happen. Then if you don't think that if you think it's the power manifestation, right? So that's something I observed while we were out there trick or treating on Halloween anyways, not to get sidetracked, but just had a quick thought about that. So today's episode is a big one because we're announcing our new app that just launched in the app store. You can go download it right now has some amazing features that we're going to be rolling out. We're going to be talking about. And I am just super excited cause we've been working on it for months now.

Speaker 1 (02:40):

And it's been close to launching probably like five times now, but finally, it's available. Finally go download it. And it's a fully functioning. So that's the first ask, go download it and then share this, go share it with someone. Hey, we want people download this app. We a ton of time into it. And we're still making adjustments as we're going to add more things, it's going to get better and better as time goes on and we get feedback from our users, but we would appreciate it. If you go to the app store right now, download it. And then we're going to walk you through a couple of sections here, just super stoked about it. So let's jump into it. So if you download the Solciety app at first of all, I want to give a preface for those that haven't been listening as consistent Solciety is our training platform.

Speaker 1 (03:33):

And previously it was only for paid members. Um, we had that, it was, um, 97 bucks a month. Um, if you listen to the end of most episodes, we had just sort of, the ending was talking about how we had the paid program, the paid mentorship, and previously you could only get access to the app if you're a part of that, but we wanted to make, you know, some adjustments, um, add some features. So primarily this is why we actually just decided to develop our own app because we were using a white labeled version called one huddle where we had our, uh, course our videos on you put quizzes in there, but that's about all you co

Introduction to the Solarpreneur Journey

00:00:03
Speaker
Welcome to the Solarpreneur Podcast, where we teach you to take your solar business to the next level.
00:00:08
Speaker
My name is Taylor Armstrong.
00:00:10
Speaker
I went from $50 in my bank account and struggling for groceries to closing 150 deals in a year and cracking the code on why sales reps fell.
00:00:19
Speaker
I teach you how to avoid the mistakes I made and bring in the top solar dogs of the industry to let you in on the secrets of generating more leads, falling up like a pro, and closing more deals.
00:00:31
Speaker
What is a solopreneur, you might ask?
00:00:33
Speaker
A solopreneur is a new breed of solopro that is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve mastery, and you are about to become one.
00:00:42
Speaker
What's up, solopreneurs?
00:00:43
Speaker
Taylor Armstrong here.

Preview of Must-Have Solar App

00:00:44
Speaker
Today, we're going to be talking about the must-have app for solar professionals, or anyone that's in the solar industry.
00:00:51
Speaker
All that and much more coming up in today's episode.
00:00:55
Speaker
Let's jump into it.
00:00:57
Speaker
My name is Taylor Armstrong.
00:00:58
Speaker
I'm here to help you close more deals, generate more leads and referrals, and hopefully have a much more enjoyable time in the solar industry.
00:01:07
Speaker
Hope you're doing well.
00:01:08
Speaker
Here we just passed Halloween.
00:01:11
Speaker
And I will say, those that don't know, I have a kid.
00:01:15
Speaker
He's two years old now.
00:01:17
Speaker
And if you haven't experienced Halloween with a two-year-old, it's pretty funny.
00:01:22
Speaker
Definitely would recommend it.
00:01:24
Speaker
We took him out.
00:01:25
Speaker
He was dressed as Harry Potter, had the glasses, the scar, the wand out.
00:01:31
Speaker
And people loved him.
00:01:33
Speaker
We loaded up on the candy.
00:01:35
Speaker
So we definitely recommend that if you have a kid to go trick-or-treating with.
00:01:41
Speaker
It's much better reception knocking on doors when people are expecting you to get candy.
00:01:48
Speaker
That's what's cool about that holiday.
00:01:50
Speaker
If you didn't go trick-or-treating, that's how you really need to think of knocking doors selling solar panels.
00:01:56
Speaker
Because if you have that same attitude that people want you at their door...
00:02:00
Speaker
that they're going to open up for you, accept you with welcome arms, then it's much more likely to happen than if you don't think that.
00:02:08
Speaker
If you think it's the power of manifestation, right?
00:02:11
Speaker
So that's something I observed while we were out there trick-or-treating on Halloween.
00:02:16
Speaker
Anyways, not to get sidetracked, but just had a quick thought about that.

New App Launch Announcement

00:02:21
Speaker
So today's episode is a big one because we're announcing our new app that just launched in the App Store.
00:02:29
Speaker
You can go download it right now.
00:02:32
Speaker
It has some amazing features that we're going to be rolling out, we're going to be talking about, and I am just super excited because we've been working on it for months now, and it's been close to launching probably like five times now, but finally it's available.
00:02:46
Speaker
Finally you can go download it, and it's fully functioning.
00:02:51
Speaker
So that's the first ask.
00:02:52
Speaker
Go download it and then share this.
00:02:55
Speaker
Go share it with someone.
00:02:57
Speaker
We want people downloading this app.
00:02:58
Speaker
We put a ton of time into it and we're still making adjustments.
00:03:03
Speaker
We're going to add more things.
00:03:05
Speaker
It's going to get better and better as time goes on and we get feedback from our users.
00:03:10
Speaker
But we would appreciate it if you go to the app store right now, download it, and then we're going to walk you through a couple sections here.
00:03:18
Speaker
Just super stoked about it.
00:03:20
Speaker
So let's jump into it.
00:03:21
Speaker
So if you download the Soul Society app, first of all, I want to give a preface for those that haven't been listening as consistent.

Soul Society App Features Overview

00:03:30
Speaker
Soul Society is our training platform.
00:03:33
Speaker
And previously, it was only for our paid members.
00:03:39
Speaker
We had that.
00:03:40
Speaker
It was $97 a month.
00:03:44
Speaker
If you listen to the end of most episodes, we had just sort of the ending was talking about how we had the paid program, the paid mentorship.
00:03:54
Speaker
And previously, you could only get access to the app if you're a part of that.
00:03:58
Speaker
But we wanted to make some adjustments, add some features.
00:04:03
Speaker
So primarily, this is why we actually just decided to develop our own app.
00:04:08
Speaker
Because we were using a white-labeled version called OneHuddle, where we had our course, our videos on.
00:04:16
Speaker
You put quizzes in there, but that's about all you could do.
00:04:20
Speaker
And little fixes here and there were like, you know what?
00:04:24
Speaker
We're paying a lot for this monthly.
00:04:25
Speaker
Let's just make our own app.
00:04:27
Speaker
That's what we did.
00:04:28
Speaker
And it's cool because there's different sections now that's pretty exciting.
00:04:34
Speaker
So again, go download it.
00:04:36
Speaker
And this is replacing our old app.
00:04:39
Speaker
So we don't have anything on one huddle anymore.
00:04:43
Speaker
Now we have just our own app.
00:04:46
Speaker
And so there is a paid version still.
00:04:49
Speaker
So those that were previously paying for their Solciety subscription, you are going to get grandfathered in the $97 a month.
00:04:58
Speaker
And guess what?
00:04:59
Speaker
The other big piece is if you haven't tried out the Solciety paid subscription, we're launching it at $97 a month to everybody.
00:05:10
Speaker
Okay, and it is going to go up probably in about a month.
00:05:14
Speaker
So go jump on.
00:05:16
Speaker
We just wanted to get as many people in as possible.
00:05:19
Speaker
Okay, but that being said, you do not have to pay to get access to the app.
00:05:23
Speaker
Okay, so go download it for free.
00:05:26
Speaker
And obviously, there's going to be sections you can't access unless you are a paid member, but a lot of sections that you can.
00:05:34
Speaker
So we're going to go through what's free, what's not, what you can check out.
00:05:38
Speaker
And go download it.
00:05:40
Speaker
So once you are inside, you'll see the homepage.
00:05:44
Speaker
And we're going to be rotating videos in there, just some featured content we have.
00:05:48
Speaker
The first video right now is actually an app tutorial.
00:05:51
Speaker
So I'm not going to get super specific because you can go on there and see a video that's going to explain it a lot better than I could on the podcast here.
00:06:01
Speaker
But go see that.
00:06:02
Speaker
It's on the homepage.
00:06:04
Speaker
And then you'll see some logos down at the bottom.
00:06:06
Speaker
We have the podcast.
00:06:08
Speaker
So you can go access every single episode all in one place straight from the app.

Partnerships and Course Discounts

00:06:13
Speaker
So that's the fourth tab over.
00:06:16
Speaker
And then what's really cool about this, even if you're not a paid member of Solcite, what I think is probably one of the coolest features on here, we have lined out different partnerships with software companies, with coaches, with trainers, with mentors in the solar industry, where you can actually go check out what they have to offer.
00:06:38
Speaker
And we've worked out exclusive discounts for people that go download the app and go check this out.
00:06:46
Speaker
So if you've thought about getting extra training, even if it's not through SolCity, even if you don't want to be a paid member of SolCity, go download this because you're going to get great content.
00:06:57
Speaker
Number one, world class trainers on there for free.
00:07:00
Speaker
And then you're going to get number two.
00:07:02
Speaker
You're going to get a marketplace where you can see the courses that we vetted ourselves.
00:07:08
Speaker
I've been through most of myself.
00:07:10
Speaker
vetted them, know that they're some of the top guys in the industry, and you're going to get exclusive discounts to lead gen providers, to people teaching online lead gen, to people teaching closing, people teaching prospecting, just all aspects of solar cells all in one place.
00:07:29
Speaker
Okay, and that's going to be on the tools section.
00:07:33
Speaker
So if you're on the app, it's on the bottom right, you can go to the very right corner.
00:07:38
Speaker
And you can click on the pro shop.
00:07:40
Speaker
And you're going to see all these different coaches.
00:07:43
Speaker
And again, they're being added every, probably every week or two, you're going to see new updates to this.
00:07:49
Speaker
Okay, but this is
00:07:52
Speaker
What we're launching with, you're going to see coaching on there, new courses and training programs, software and tools to fuel your growth and access to top vetted service providers.
00:08:03
Speaker
So whatever, you know, whatever tool, whatever coach, whatever software you could think of in the solar industry, go check it out on our marketplace first.
00:08:13
Speaker
because we've worked out some exclusive deals, some cool things that you're not going to be able to get access to anywhere else.

Exclusive Deals and Discounts

00:08:20
Speaker
Just to give you an example, um, rep card, they're one of our, um, partners on the platform.
00:08:27
Speaker
And they've agreed to anyone that, you know, gets a rep card subscription from our marketplace will get a free top card.
00:08:38
Speaker
I think I've mentioned that in the show before, but they just coming out with these new little top cards, super sweet piece of technology.
00:08:45
Speaker
You can be in a home, in an appointment, tap your customer's phone and your rep card, your digital business card.
00:08:53
Speaker
It's going to go straight into their phone, straight into their contacts.
00:08:58
Speaker
If you don't know what rep card is, go listen to the podcast we did with them.
00:09:01
Speaker
That was probably like six months ago.
00:09:04
Speaker
But, you know, great software right there.
00:09:07
Speaker
So again, go check this out.
00:09:09
Speaker
We have all these vetted service providers and some of the top stuff you can find that you will need as you go throughout your day-to-day tasks as a solar professional.
00:09:21
Speaker
Hey, so that is the free sections of SolCity of the app.
00:09:29
Speaker
And for those that are interested, you can get your subscription on here.
00:09:33
Speaker
Again, we're starting at 97 bucks.
00:09:36
Speaker
And the reason I'm saying this has to go up because we partnered with Ciro.
00:09:43
Speaker
And again, this was another featured software partner we had about a month ago.
00:09:49
Speaker
They are a super cool recording software where you can record your door presentation.
00:09:54
Speaker
You can record your closing presentation, get feedback from it, from your managers and people within your company.
00:10:03
Speaker
But what we're working out with them that's going to be available to our paid members is you're going to be able to work with myself and a lot of other top coaches in solar where we're going to give you direct feedback on your presentations.

Advanced Member Benefits

00:10:19
Speaker
That's right.
00:10:20
Speaker
And that is for $97 where you're getting direct access to us and direct feedback in your presentations.
00:10:29
Speaker
So that's, I think, the coolest feature of the paid subscription to SoulCity.
00:10:36
Speaker
And it costs us money.
00:10:39
Speaker
We're not getting this for free from Ciro.
00:10:43
Speaker
So yeah, it's costing us money for every user that comes on.
00:10:46
Speaker
So that's why I know it's not sustainable to do this for the $97 for everyone that comes on.
00:10:52
Speaker
But those that want to take advantage of it, go get on.
00:10:55
Speaker
Like I said, it's probably going to be about 30 days before we need to up it.
00:11:00
Speaker
So if you want to get on that tier and get it at the discount, go jump on, subscribe to it.
00:11:07
Speaker
Okay.
00:11:08
Speaker
We'd love to have you a part of the community.

Community Engagement and Specialized Content

00:11:10
Speaker
And the other cool thing that you're getting is you're getting access to our video chat app.
00:11:15
Speaker
It's called Volley.
00:11:16
Speaker
And you're going to be able to get direct communication with the community, with myself, feedback, feedback,
00:11:22
Speaker
on any struggles you're going through, and really just connect with other people in the SoulCity community.
00:11:29
Speaker
So that's my two favorite pieces of it.
00:11:31
Speaker
But on a side note, besides that, you're also getting full access to the discovery section, which includes way more content from all of our coaches in there.
00:11:43
Speaker
And then specific like courses.
00:11:45
Speaker
So instead of it just being videos that you'll get as part of the free SoulCity app, you'll get specific, you know, modules in there.
00:11:54
Speaker
For example, videos on closing, videos on your presentation, videos on follow up, all things like that.
00:12:00
Speaker
You're going to get access to that and be able to get some specific advice depending on what you're struggling with.
00:12:08
Speaker
And so that's all available for our paid members that want to go get on that.
00:12:13
Speaker
and have access to some of the top brains in the solar industry.
00:12:17
Speaker
I don't know if I'm the top brain in the solar industry, but I'm going to be connecting you with the best of the best.
00:12:23
Speaker
And that's our goal here at Soul Society and here at Solarpreneur is we want you connecting to the best in the industry.
00:12:28
Speaker
Hey, I know I'm pretty good at some things, but that's
00:12:33
Speaker
That's one of the reasons why I started the podcast, just because there's a lot of things I'm not good at.
00:12:38
Speaker
And I want to connect with all those people that are better than me at the follow up, that are better than me at the closing, that are better than me at whatever it is that I'm struggling with.
00:12:48
Speaker
So that's what you need to do is focus on your strengths and then try to learn from those that are better than you at your weaknesses.
00:12:58
Speaker
Okay, so that's just a little demo we wanted to give you of Solcite.
00:13:01
Speaker
Go download the app.
00:13:03
Speaker
Let me know what you think.
00:13:04
Speaker
Would love your feedback on it.
00:13:06
Speaker
And again, just share the podcast to anyone you know that could benefit from some extra dose of solar knowledge.
00:13:13
Speaker
or some extra, I don't know, training content, please share it with them.
00:13:18
Speaker
Would mean the world to me if you would tag us over on Instagram.
