What are sales commissions like at Wolf River Electric?

The earning potential with this company is endless. Started as a Solar Consultant within a month I was promoted to Solar Consultant Mentor. So I shadow new hire out of training and it's very rewarding to see the excitement and determination the new reps have I must say its very fulfilling. Been at the company going on 4 months and successfully mad 10 sales.

The only thing I can think of that could be a con is if you don't have the drive to be successful you won't with any sales role you have to strive to be the best to grow efficiently and get the rewards your seeking. The commission structure takes some time to getting use to but once you get accustom the pay is awesome and I'm able to take care of my family and live financial stress free.

Opportunity to learn and grow if you truly put in the time and work, work remotely.

They hire anyone, tons of people with little to no sales experience join. Very low commission structure for Solar sales (seems decent for more people without the experience) but if you have any sort of experience in Solar sales the commission structure is laughable.

None. They can’t find your commission forms so don’t expect to get paid more than $200-$300 per week after working 40 SPORADIC hours between the 30 mandatory contract calling hours and all the random shadows required that sometimes no show. Full time hours for them to say we don’t have a record of that commission form from your assigned sales rep.

You can make $800-$1000 working full time... somewhere else because WOLF RIVER ELECTRIC does NOT pay their staff on time or the correct amounts. -The “pay date” has changed 4 times. -The sales reps have on many occasions not submitted their forms or filled it out incorrectly and therefore no pay. -they are supposed to pay same week appts that weekend but they have some missed ones from two weeks ago. -THEY TAKE 4 days to respond to commission inquiries because they are so backed up. -They lied about the bonus structure. -you never know what appts showed up unless you hunt down the sales reps, -THEY DON’T CARE that you have bills to pay. -I HAVE NOT HAD 1 single correct pay period with these clowns. Leave the frat party and find a professional solar company. This place is HEAVILY unorganized and it’s demoralizing to expect a $700, $1100, $1400 pay week but only ever seen $200-$300 because they are so behind and can’t find the confirmation forms and you have to hope they find a record or you are out of luck. They’ll say you only get paid if you sat in on the appt. But when you sit in that appt for an HOUR watching the sales presentation to get paid $20-$80 only to tell you WE HAVE NO PROOF BECAUSE YOUR SALES GUY DIDNT TURN IN THE FORM SAYING HE DID the presentation with you in attendance well… get ready to battle for your pay. (This has nothing to do with the sales commissions which are paid out after installation. This review is strictly about the same week pay that’s non existent.)

Remote working environment flexible working hours

unorganized working environment, fully commission pay

Enjoyable, exciting, team building, no limit on commission

None, I have nothing negative to say about wolf river.

Ability to make good money ($100k+/yr). Average commission is $2,000 per closed deal. 100% remote/WFH.

Pay is unstable as this is commission only. There is a 3-4 month timeline to get paid. This is basically like having your own business, so it's very sink or swim. Expect to not make any money the first 2-3 months, as installation time varies. Management doesn't always hold their word. The solar industry is shaky at the moment, so not the best place to be at the moment. No benefits. No PTO. 1099 only.

You can work from home.

Supply your own computer, your own phone, and your own phone number. You're led to believe you will be receiving warm leads. I spent hours dialing numbers, and when I rarely reached someone, they had no idea what I was talking about or why I was calling. They hire a new group (50+) every week and put them to work dialing so someone else can sell and get the commission. They recycle old leads that have said "Take me off your list," on the off chance that a new employee might make an appointment that might lead to a sale. It's not costing them anything to use large numbers of well-meaning people this way.
