Essential CRM features for solar companies

Solar companies should maintain a comprehensive, well-organized CRM database that includes potential customers from the public sector, private sector, or individual consumers. Your CRM should empower your solar business’s sales team to navigate the sales cycle confidently and easily.

With the right solar CRM in place, you can improve sales team efficiency, project and service team productivity, and support team relationship-building efforts. When implemented correctly, your solar CRM software should encourage positive customer experiences and influence long-term business growth.

Nutshell offers a host of features ideal for supporting your solar energy business, from lead management to customer engagement, project workflows, and more. Here is how Nutshell’s features can benefit your solar company:

Pipeline management to track and convert leads with ease

  • Monitor and manage leads using customizable, user-friendly methods.

I have used Act, Goldmine and Salesforce in the past, and I have found that Nutshell was the easiest to get started with and to set up custom fields. I would recommend Nutshell to others that are interested in an easy to learn and navigate CRM.

We left Hubspot for Nutshell because Hubspot was too complex. Nutshell makes software for humans.

Daniel H. EOS

When we were evaluating CRMs, the one deciding factor between Nutshell and Salesforce came down to spin up time and price. Nutshell wins on both counts (by a huge margin). Salesforce was 10 times as much per month for what we wanted.
