The next Citizenre Direct sales training will be held Aug 26- August 29th. We have a lot of opportunity in Southern California and direct sales is a great way to sell to customers in the specific areas we can work. To kick off the S. Cali program Citizenre will be offering the next training to Eco’s at no cost ( $900.00 Value) . Citizenre will be picking up the entire training cost for Eco’s committed to selling at lease 5 days a month. You will still be responsible for your transportation and housing for the class and for those that need a place to stay, arrangements will be made as a group. The class size is capped at 15 Eco’s to make certain everybody gets the attention they need. All Eco’s are able to apply and we are looking for Eco’s that will be able to work in Southern California. If you are out of state, please tell us what will allow you to go D2D in the LA area. We know some Eco’s have friends or family they can stay with or a large down-line in the area  that will allow them to come down and create results. Applications order gives you priority over equal applications submitted at a later date. We will however be choosing the best Eco’s to take advantage of this opportunity. The Application form can be found below.

There will be a $200. deposit required .This money will be refunded at the completion of the course.

To bring everybody up to speed:- Things are moving fast

• Citizenre is now installing in LA, Burbank, Pasadena, Glendale and Redding CA . Citizenre is contacting existing customers to schedule site visit for system design we will be soon to be moving into Colton, Banning, Corona and Riverside.
• David will be talking to Anaheim this week to finish up the last few installs in that territory.
• The Sunday night call is now information packed with transparency on all subjects. There is a good chance it will soon be moved so more people can attend. ( Personal note -It’s great to have Information flowing again)
• The next direct sales training for Door 2 Door sales will be the third week of August. The last training ( 2 week ago) was a  big success with all trainees becoming certified D2D sellers and closing deals over on their first weekend. In the next couple of days there will be D2D sales links added to the back office. You can make a $1000 + in a weekend
• $6000 + in commission checks went out this last week to Eco’s with more to come . 2 people were not paid because they had not sent in their W-9 forms. After that was announced they sent them right in
• We are about to open up Arizona and Colorado with Sungevity. There will be a call this Wednesday with Sungevity (5:00 PDT) to go over the details and answer questions. You can sign up for the call in the back office. ( I think the real opportunity in these new territories comes through new FRA’s. The conversion rate for old FRA’s has been low. I will be in Denver in a couple of weeks to hold an Eco meeting to get the ball rolling)
• If you are locked out of the back office download these forms and email or fax them in  http://www.citizenre.net/extras/downloads/w9dd_package.pdf email to : support@citizenre.net

It is really great to see the energy building again in the company and Eco’s making income. I have no doubt that we will be the largest Solar company in the country of the next couple of years. When you look at the number of customers the other “Big Players” have  it is but a drop in the bucket compared to what we can do in 1/20th the time . In the next few months we will be the number one solar installer in most of our markets !!! and the ball has just begun to roll.

Don’t sit through the opportunity
Get on the calls
Be part of the change

How much CO2 does one solar panel create? Yes, it’s true that making solar panels creates carbon dioxide, but over the life of a solar installation it produces on average of 30x less CO2.

It’s Tuesday and I am setting up the House of Solar web site again . Of course I was taking a short “break” to check out YouTube ( one of the best ways to waste time in the world ) . I ran across this video and thought I would share.  I feel that this song comes from a time when priorities were a bit different . We seem to live in a world where everybody is fighting over natural resources in the name of political ideology . It makes me consider what I can do TODAY to move the world in a more positive direction. Take a moment to listen to somebody that continues to work towards that goal.

Sunny Days make me liberal

I have been on the sidelines doing my bit here and there waiting for Citizenre to pick up steam. I am now going back “Online ” as the company has closed on 4.5 million in funding and is opening several markets in Southern California. I know there are many of you that have been waiting also and  I thought I would outline the opportunity that we currently have .

Citizenre has made a couple of steps in the last couple of months that not everybody knows about .

1) Citizenre now requires all Eco’s to send in a W-9 form to have acess to the back office . If you have not completed your forms you can find them at the login page at www.powur.com

2) Citizenre just closed on 4.5 Million in Funding . This will now allow the company to qucikly expand in California then on to other states.

How can you participate?

The facts are that Citizenre is only installing in Southern California and that is where the opportunity lies. I have been busy building a team in our workable areas so that I can capture some of the installs going in. I currently have 10 and more in the cue.

Another opportunity is getting involved in the companies direct sales. We have has small teams going Door2 Door for the last few months to guarantee a flow of customers in the areas we need. The weekend of July 24th we are going to have a training session to certify Eco’s to sell D2D. Being face to face with the customer to explain out offer as well as having the opportunity to look at their house has generated $1000+ checks for Eco installs. If you are interested in making some money NOW and growing your business click here for more information.

This may not be the right time for everybody to get involved but I know there are more than a handful of Eco’s that understand the “Early is better” philosophy of business ( really funny to say after 3 years yet no less true).

At a minimum , keep your eye on the news and the House of Solar web page, above that check in with your up-line for next best steps for you to take in closing some solar sales.

SIDE NOTE > We recently created a strategic partnership with Sungevity to install out customers systems. My two cents on that are our customer bases differ greatly and because of the credit score qualifications only a mere fraction of the sales are being closed. I have personally decided to hold the remainder of my FRA’s for Citizenre to begin installing in these areas.

Other than that , I hope everybody is doing well in their lives and stay tuned to the House of Solar blog.

The Yeas, The Nays, and the No-shows

Many Solar Citizens have asked us how their senators voted in the most recent attempt to extend solar tax credits beyond the end of this year. The bill in question was S3335, and on July 30th it went the way of its many earlier brethren, with enough Republican senators refusing to vote for cloture (the cutting-off of debate prior to voting) to doom it.

We’ve been asked to record these votes before, but not on such a scale, which makes us think that the Congressional game-playing is finally getting to everyone. So check the tables below to follow your favorite senator’s scoring record.

Meanwhile, we understand that Representative Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD) and a slew of his colleagues from both sides of the House are working on introducing what can only be described as a compromise bill in September or October. HR6709 will:

• extend clean energy tax credits for 5 years
• release some of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and dedicate income from the Reserve to renewable
• energy R & D
• repeal moratoria on offshore drilling and dedicate some of the resultant tax income to offsetting the tax credits

So we all win a little, lose a little, hold our noses and vote. Always assuming no-one wants to go out with a filibustering bang in November…

As for S3335, the final score was 51 yeas, 43 nays, and 6 not voting, and here they all are:
