YOUR SOLAR BUSINESS AIDE

Why Guidance?

Imagine knowing exactly what to do in your solar business. Imagine never making a mistake again.

Guidance stops mistakes like these:

You’ve run out of stock
You’ve got too much stock
You’ve wondered if charging less would increase sales enough to raise profits
You’ve wondered if you could be charging more, and wondered if doing so would harm conversion.
You’ve wondered if you should be stepping on the gas or jamming on the brakes, and you can’t decide which

For an Effortless Business Elevation We-do-it-all-for-you service: SunBiz Accelerate

Guidance Instead gets you Flying like a Top Gun, with these instruments to guide you:

The optimal margin to add, price to charge, and conversion rate to target that’ll maximise your profitability
The optimal products-places-people-segments-sources to concentrate on for maximum sales
How well you’re performing compared to everyone else
What lays ahead, so you can navigate around it
The optimal approach to your business trajectory
Expert Training
Sales Motivators

Where Guidance fits in the Solar Business Elevation framework?

This Solar Business Elevation framework is useful. Consider it like a tripod, with Guidance, Differentiate, and Automate as three legs that work in conjunction.

If you don’t differentiate your business, then your gross profit on each sale will get swallowed up not leaving enough leftover to support your business goals.

Differentiate

If you don’t differentiate your business, then your gross profit on each sale will get swallowed up not leaving enough leftover to support your business goals.

Automate

If you don’t automate, your gross profit will be squandered within your time-consuming, tedious and error-prone internal operations; and you’ll always be stuck in first gear.

Guidance

If you don’t have guidance, the bottom-line profit you do make won’t last as you’ll be making sub-optimal decisions.

FEATURES

The Sunwiz reports provide our business with critical information we could not find anywhere else. It gives us a comparison to the market so we can know where our pricing fits and ensure we are correctly positioned in the market. It enables me to better manage our sales team with insights into conversion rates and margins that make it easy to see where training needs to be provided or improvements need to be made.

The information and analysis of where our business is tracking is far beyond what we could ever dream of being able to do ourselves. SunWiz can unlock huge potential in any business. I'm looking forward to unlocking many hidden gems in our business and using these to elevate our results even further. I cannot recommend SunWiz enough.

"Super helpful knowing what product combinations are closing and knowing what profit margin we can work with. Thank you" - Alex Piatek, Leeson Solar

"That is AWESOME information"

The insights into our business were very powerful and you have provided us with actionable plans to improve sales and margin. Showing us which product combinations are the most successful in terms of close rate was very valuable. I highly recommend solar retailers spend half an hour with Warwick and Yavuz. You'll gain valuable insights into your business.
