In 2017, Carlos was working as a solar sales rep earning high commissions and Chad was in Medellin, Colombia expanding his international education business. And the two worlds collided and they decided to join forces and start a solar company with the aim to achieve financial and location independence.

In 2018, Carlos and Chad founded Soleira, a solar sales org. At first, they focused on door to doorsales. Sales were great, but they struggled to achieve the lifestyle that they truly wanted. Business was demanding - long hours on the doors, enduring hot and cold weather, long drives, no shows, while dealing with the regular operations of a business.

But then, COVID hit. A global pandemic, the likes of which the world has never seen. Restrictions, lockdowns, changes in business model, cops showing up to the offices. While it was an uncomfortable period, it taught Carlos and Chad the importance of freedom and location independence.

Within 60 days of harsh lockdowns, they hit 52 sales in 1 month and have now gone on to continue remote sales and build a remote sales team while enjoying the high commissions,freedom and high quality of life, that location independence has to offer in Medellin, Colombia. Today, they’re incredibly passionate about fostering a thriving sales community, assisting othersolar sales pros and sales orgs achieve success with remote sales, networking with other brilliantminds and exchanging in value while loving life. Altogether, they’ve helped foster a thrivingcommunity of 15,000+ solar sales pros, promote remote sales and helped more than 310+ solar sales pros achieve success with remote sales.
