About Stage Zero
Stage Zero is a South African energy company redefining how households and businesses experience power. We design, install, and manage smart solar and battery solutions that give customers greater energy independence, predictable costs, and long-term savings – all wrapped in a simple, subscription-based model.
At the heart of Stage Zero is intelligence: intelligent systems, intelligent energy decisions, and intelligent people. We’re building a brand that is modern, trusted, and human – one that educates, inspires, and empowers customers to take control of their energy future. As we continue to expand across South Africa, we are strengthening our commercial field sales presence to build trusted customer relationships, identify new business opportunities, drive effective lead conversion, and ensure professional representation of Stage Zero in the market.
Role Overview
As a Commercial Field Sales Agent (CFSA) at Stage Zero, you will be the front-line ambassador of our solar energy mission. You are directly responsible for actively generating high-quality leads through direct sales engagement in residential areas and community-based brand activations and events. Working across assigned clusters, you will collaborate closely with our Senior Call Centre Agents (SCA) to maintain a steady pipeline of qualified quotes for the sales team. You are expected to consistently meet activity and performance targets that feed into broader regional sales goals, which requires confidence, resilience, energy, discipline, and a genuine passion for customer interaction.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead Generation: Conduct structured direct sales canvassing within allocated residential clusters to engage with homeowners and decision-makers about Stage Zero’s solar offerings. Qualify potential customers by collecting accurate data and gauging interest, capturing all lead information in the Solid Leads App. Ensure each lead meets predefined criteria before handing off to the Leads Desk for follow-up and quote generation
- Activations & Events: Attend scheduled marketing activations, community expos, and local events (e.g. at schools, malls) as a brand representative. Proactively initiate conversations with attendees, professionally promote Stage Zero’s solutions, and capture interest from potential customers. Distribute flyers and branded materials while maintaining a professional image and consistent messaging aligned with the company’s brand.
- Reporting & Communication: Submit daily lead reports and updates through the CRM or mobile platforms to ensure all new leads are logged and tracked. Maintain accurate records of customer interactions and feedback. Communicate regularly with your Sales Manager, sharing field insights, common objections, and opportunities gleaned from your interactions.
- Performance & Targets: Achieve weekly and monthly lead-generation targets as set by the Sales Manager and maintain key performance metrics. Participate in daily morning stand-up meetings and weekly performance reviews or upskilling sessions to continually improve your sales pitch and objection-handling techniques. Strive to meet or exceed KPI benchmarks (see KPI section) and work with your manager to address any gaps in performance.
- Team & Culture: Collaborate with your fellow Field Sales Agents and the broader sales team, sharing best practices and supporting each other’s success. Embody Stage Zero’s core values of integrity, accountability, resilience, and professionalism in all activities. Stay up-to-date with product knowledge, renewable energy trends, and company updates by attending regular training and team meetings. Represent the company positively in the community to uphold our reputation and foster trust.
