Sunrun Sales Associate Interview Questions
& Process

It was a friendly, relaxed, and informative interview. Some tough questions were asked, but they were phrased in a way that felt easy. The overall atmosphere was warm and not intimidating. Be sure to research the company, its leaders, and what's currently happening in the solar industry.

It was a zoom call where they asked me about my knowledge of the solar industry. We then went through a detailed power point about selling to people shopping at Lowe's or Home Depot. This job involves approaching people in stores. We did a role play where they acted as a customer and I had to sell them solar by asking questions. It seems like a questionable sales associate job, and I bet the commission potential is way lower than advertised because who wants to be bothered by salesmen in stores? I ended the zoom call early because the interviewer was rude and called me timid, which was annoying. Not worth anyone's time.

Interview was in 3 parts. Two through zoom and one last overview at the office. First interview was over the phone where a young lady went over the job description. She seemed unsure at times which job I would be given because they had made recent changes in the organization which confused me a little bit but I was happy with my first interview and found the interviewer very nice. I was invited to a 2nd interview however I only had a few hours to prepare because it was sent late in the night for the next day. My 2nd interview didn't go as well I thought because my toddler was screaming in the background and was very distracting the first 8 mins or so. Once my family member removed him, the interview went great and I learned even more about the company. I was then invited to an overview at the office. The overview was a team meeting first with a group info session for those who were coming on next plus current employees. I learned that I would be going d2d setting up appointments only. I also learned the position of the other sales person that would then come in and close the deal with a presentation. I was more interested in that job because I remember the 1st interviewer mentioning it and that's the one I would have preferred it be for but it was still good information regarding compensation and how I would be paid. There was an initial hesitant action because of something that was said during the overview by a manager but once I voiced this to other managers, I felt it was resolved fairly. Overall...I enjoyed the interview process, I just didn't feel comfortable in the end even though I was offered the job. All those in my group were asked to stay on however if you were in the group you would not understand why. We were four completely different people and as a former hiring manager at another company; you would think this was definitely a "numbers" type situation based on what I heard, the questions that were asked ect. I wish the others luck on their journey.
