The road to success is laden with plenty of setbacks that can test our resolve. With distractions running aplenty, it can be easy to lose sight of our goals. However, the magnitude of a person’s drive ultimately dictates their fate. For entrepreneur Alexander Smith, it took a while to lock in on his goal, but eventually he found his rhythm and developed Spartan Solar.
Established in March of 2021, Alexander Smith has created a unique culture filled with individuals who share his mission and vision: to provide the best opportunity available for anyone driven to become more and create a better life for themselves and their family through selling solar. Spartan Solar emulates a truly plug-n-play model that allows someone with absolutely no sales experience to become a six figure earner within their first year.
Spartan Solar takes pride in its services, boasting one of the fastest installation and activation timelines. Whereas other companies drag projects out for months due to inefficiencies, the company’s operations are streamlined. Spartan Solar has partnered with Titan Solar Power and they offer a 25-year-warranty, easing their clients’ concerns about any potential problems.
In less than a year, Spartan Solar has already established itself as one of the frontrunners of the solar industry. Within the first few months of operation, the team generated multiple high six-figure earners and has now grown to 36 sales reps and leaders. Their hard work has been integral in taking Spartan Solar to the next level, pacing to clear $30 million in sales in their first ten months in business.
Founder Alexander Smith graduated from Florida State University in 2016 with a triple major in Finance, Professional Sales, and Marketing. Although many would expect that his education played a factor in his success, it was experience that provided him with the knowledge that would boost his company to the top. “I learned more in the first three months of selling solar door-to-door than I did in the four years of college I attended,” he revealed.
Upon completing his studies, Alexander’s income came entirely from the commissions in his job as a salesman. Unfortunately, while he earned handsomely, the young entrepreneur would spend his money on vices that he later realized held him back from realizing his full potential. Eventually, Alexander realized that he needed to make some major changes in his life if he was going to make it to the top of the solar industry.
“I borrowed $4,000 from my grandmother so I could ship my car to California and pay the security deposit at my apartment. With no money in the bank to cover next month’s rent and locked into a 12-month lease, I definitely ‘burned my ships’ and had to put my head down and focus,” the entrepreneur shared, reflecting on the start of his journey selling solar.
Alexander would move to Florida in the early months of the pandemic working at KOTA Energy Group. Coupled with his prior experience, he would part ways from KOTA to start his own company, giving birth to Spartan Solar. “It was just a few of us back then, and we were working out of my living room, running meetings at my house for the next three months,” Alexander reveals.
Since then Spartan Solar has grown exponentially, not only providing an attractive alternative solution to homeowners’ energy problems, but also providing its sales force with a high energy culture to help cultivate every individual to hit their goals.
