RDEP
Sales rep · CRM walk-through

Your CRM, from an assigned visit to a logged outcome


Eight steps, about 25 minutes. Do each one in the CRM while you read, check what you should see, then mark it done. Stuck on a step? Message us in Slack.

1

Log in on your computer and your phone

5 min
Do

Open the invite email from the CRM (check spam), set your password, and log in. Pick Residential Distributed Energy Program (RDEP) if it asks. Then install the LeadConnector app on your phone and log in with the same login.

You see

The RDEP dashboard on the computer, and the same account in the app.

Know

Your RDEP email address is for emailing customers from inside the CRM. Use your personal email for setting up the field apps.

2

Find the visits assigned to you

3 min
Do

Calendars > your assessment calendar

You see

Your home visits. Setters book on the New Appointments calendar; the sales manager moves each one to a rep's calendar. It's on your calendar only once it's yours.

If not

No calendar, or a visit you were told about isn't there: message us in Slack.

3

Prepare before the visit

3 min
Do

Open the appointment, then the contact. Read the setter's note and the answers on the left: Homeowner?Co-op?Grid / Solar?If solar: leased?

You see

Name, address, phone numbers and what the setter learned on the call.

Know

The homeowner was told a 1-hour arrival window and about 20 minutes at the home.

4

Send your on-the-way signal

2 min
Do

Only when you're actually leaving for the home, change the appointment status to Confirmed.

You see

The appointment shows Confirmed. That's the team's "rep is on the way" signal.

Know

Running late? Tell the sales manager, who updates the homeowner.

5

At the home

3 min · read only
Order
  1. Qualify first, with the checklist.
  2. Look at the wall and the breaker box.
  3. Enter the application.
  4. Welcome call: a link the homeowner opens on their phone, or on your tablet.
  5. Site survey photos last, after they qualify.
Words

Say "application," never "sell." The homeowner has up to 10 days to change their mind.

6

Log the outcome on the opportunity

5 min · after every visit
Do

Opportunities > Home Energy Assessments > open this homeowner's card > Appt Disposition

Clear any old choice first, then pick exactly one:

SoldNo SaleNot QualifiedFollow-Up RequiredNo ShowCancelledRescheduled

Then Save.

You see

The card moves on by itself: Sold goes to the Sold stage; Follow-Up Required creates a follow-up task.

The rule

The outcome goes on the opportunity, not on the appointment and not in a call outcome. Log it within 4 hours of the visit. Visits with no outcome get flagged.

7

Fix a wrong outcome the right way

2 min · read only
Do

Picked the wrong one? Clear it, pick the right one, Save. If you change a Sold card, the sales manager is alerted, so add a note on the contact saying why.

Know

Sold stays Sold in the CRM until the manager reviews it. Don't change it back and forth.

8

1 min
