House of Solar

House of Solar Team :
I am so proud to be working with such a committed group of people. Every day I speak to somebody that has the vision and the attitude needed to change the world. Every day I get an email or a message where somebody is moving out of their circumstances , over the probable and onto the possible in their life.

When I started with Citizenre I only knew that this idea could change the world. I had never been in a MLM and I did not know much about “Being Green”. What I did know is I had lived in Taiwan and I had a chance to see what the world could look like if we kept moving down the path of coal fired electricity and raw “Consumerism”. It was so polluted in Taiwan that twice a year we had to was out our window screens because they were clogged. The way we are powering our country and using our resources right now puts this scenario not in a “If ” time frame but a “when” time frame.

I now know that I share the vision of a renewable future with many others. I share this vision with thousands of people that are on the House of Solar Team. People who are willing to do more than think about how different the future should be . The House of Solar has people that actually go out to create a different future. They go out to educate the public. The call their senators , talk to their neighbors and work to create change here and now.

One of my favorite quotes is “The best way to predict the future is to create it“

Here is my acknowledgment to the people that are doing so:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Our Amazing Team Leaders <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Jerret Goodale (Ex. Sales Director) -A longtime friend and the first person I called about Citizenre. I told this this was an opportunity and to sign up 15 people. The next day he called me back to say” I have 15 people, now what?”. From Day one he was on the ball and never let up for a moment after that . Jerret has created training materials for the company and shared his skills in a selfless way while having his team participate in more shows than any other group in the country.He leads by example and trains for results. Jerret is the RSD for Norther California and Hawaii. He is a master of organization , motivation and if is not a measurable result, you probably should not even talk to him about it.

Louis Petrik (Sr. Sales Director)- I met Louis last spring and he invited me to breakfast with his brother. Over breakfast we talked about the possibilities with Citizenre. At the end of the meal he said “Ok , what first ?”. From that moment on Louis has been a picture of enthusiasm and vision. He was steadfast in his intention, putting one foot in front of the other to create value for his team on a daily basis. Not only did he manage to create amazing sales numbers through his clarity and leadership. He managed to do all of this while running his two other business ,becoming a certified solar installer, teaching classes at his church and being a worthwhile father and husband to his wife and kids. My hat goes off to Louis and his ability to get a full days work in before the sun comes up.

Ryan Tolley- (Ex. Sales Director)- Ryan is member of Jerret’s team and a fellow RSD for Northern California. Ryan is a focused machine when it comes to getting things done . Many times I have mentioned that it would be great to have a list of this or that or a excel sheet tracking important information only to receive what I mentioned at 3 AM. In his first couple of months last year ,Ryan attracted more sales himself than most teams had at the time and…. he made it look easy. Ryan is a leader , student and creator of what he wants in his life. He is a valued member of the team and the place to go if you are looking for a “how to ” conversation on running your organization

Cheri Black (Sr. Sales Director) - I knew this woman had some Mo-Jo after her first show report. She showed up on a team call and told us how she talked her way into a last minute show (that was full) and managed to get 15 FRA’s in her first half day. That alone would be impressive except that she also signed up 15 Ecos at the same time. From then on her name popped up in conversations almost every day. She was either building a team, breaking records or organizing the N.E corner of the U.S for success. She is proof that the world is run by people who show up and that she certainly does on a daily basis. If you would like to hear what she has to say you can show up for the team call she is leading Tuesday night with Donna Distefano (#1 sales person in the country)

>( 7 pm CST  Tuesday and will run until 8pm. The call in number is 218-339-7800 and the access code is 481226 )

Tim,

Things are really exploding on the CapCitySolar team.  Currently we have 960 sales and 200+ associates.  We have accounted for over 25% of the national sales for the past four weeks and are currently about 4.3% of the total national sales.  In the last few weeks we have exceeded all expectations!!!  Four weeks ago we started our climb with a show in Austin that netted around 100 new customers with a 10×20 booth and 13 associates.   We followed this by a show in Houston the following weekend with a 10×10 booth with 6 associate working and a net of 120 customers.  As far as I know, this was a national record for one weekend for one event.  Then the following weekend we flew to Albuquerque, New Mexico with you, Scotty, and me and pulled in 102 new customers and around 15 new associates for our team.  There was not one big event the next weekend so we spread out and attended three smaller events throughout Texas and netted another 100 new customers and over 30 new associates.  It has been a awesome ride so far.  The future is looking great.

There are some exciting things on the horizon.  We start with this upcoming weekend where we have a Home Show in Ft. Worth, Texas and a Solar Fiesta in Albuquerque, NM with my new team we formed last visit.  We will then rest one week before the BIG DADDY of them all “The State Fair of Texas”!!!!!!!!  There will be over 3 million people in attendance and is the biggest event in the country.   We have a 20×20 booth reserved located between the concept car pavilion(the biggest draw for guys) and the huge crafts fair (the biggest draw for ladies).  I do not think we could have a better location.

On the opening weekend of the State Fair we have the Pecan Street Festival going on in Austin and our new associates from New Mexico will be participating in a Green Expo in Santa Fe.

We then follow up with a repeat visit to Houston and probably close the Fall season for shows.  All in all we should double or triple the size of our team in sales and associates by the end of October.  If an announcement comes in that time then just scratch all of those numbers hook on your seatbelt.  Right now we have over 40 Sales Managers on this team and are growing them quickly.

When the Spring rolls around, I have already secured most of the major Home shows in Texas with 20×20 booths reserved.  Also, our teams in Philly, Baltimore, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Ft. Lauderdale have currently booked shows in their prospective areas.

Lastly, I want to report that I am really excited about the future of CapCitySolar.  As the leader of this group I thought it important to learn as much about solar energy as possible so I enrolled in the local colleges Solar Installation Certification class.  My classes run every Monday night for 12 weeks and then I will be trained on all of the techniques of solar installation and be prepared to take my solar certification test.

Things are going great.  Thanks for all of your support.

God Bless,

Louis Petrik
Sales Director – CapCitySolar

Leadership

     Working with thousands of leaders during the past 21 years in the global economy, I have found that most of them don’t have a clue. They may know to some extent how to do business on a global level. But to exert the right kind of leadership on that level eludes them; so when I first meet them, they’re usually getting the wrong results or the right results in the wrong ways.Of course, there are many successful global companies and leaders, but my experiences teach that they are successful not because of but in spite of their leadership activities.

“House of Solar” Top Performers (8/8/07)

These are the people making it happen day in and day out and they deserve a pat on the back. Some are new and some have been around for a while. Everybody has created the results they said they were going to . If they can do it , so can you . Our team has over 100 shows booked for the fall and our numbers will double in the next few months. Good job everybody.
