Direct-to-Consumer & Retail · Solar, Energy & Home Upgrades

D2C & RETAIL LEAD PROGRAMS LEADS, BOOKINGS & SALES FOR ENERGY & HOME UPGRADE RETAILERS.

Honen runs pay-per-lead and pay-per-appointment programs for solar, batteries, insulation, blinds, double glazing, roofing, HVAC & heat pumps, EV chargers and green finance. We plug into your existing website and stack – or provide fully branded funnels under your name.

For most D2C & retail brands we recommend a staged approach: lead generation → appointment setting → optional remote sales closers.
BUILT FOR ENERGY & HOME UPGRADE RETAILERS

Ideal if you sell direct to homeowners or through showrooms and in-home sales teams and want predictable incoming demand – without hiring full in-house marketing and SDR teams.

  • ☀️Solar & battery retailers and installers
  • 🌡️Heat pumps, HVAC, hot water and energy-efficient appliances
  • 🏠Insulation, double glazing, roofing & coatings, blinds & awnings
  • 🔌EV chargers, load control and smart home upgrades
  • 💸Green home loans and finance products for upgrades
We can start with a single product line or bundle (e.g. solar + battery + heat pump) and expand once the numbers work for your team and territories.

Who We Work With in D2C & Retail

Three Ways to Run D2C & Retail Programs

Same engine, different wrappers. You can run campaigns only under your brand, plug into Jousto co-branded funnels, or tap into BeZero’s zero-bill buyer journeys.

Program 1 · Your Brand via Honen

Fully Branded Funnels & Website Flows

We build and run campaigns where your brand is the only brand customers see. Ads, landers and tools can run on stand-alone funnels and/or your main site.

  • Meta, Google and other channels tuned for your products & geos
  • Lead magnets, instant quote tools and booking flows under your brand
  • DaveCRM included for tracking, nurture & optional AI agents
  • Leads and bookings delivered on simple per-lead / per-appointment models
Program 2 · Jousto Co-Branded

Jousto Energy Lead Programs

You appear as the preferred partner on Jousto experiences in your categories and territories.

  • Jousto hosts the landers, instant quote flows and calculators
  • Exclusive leads or bookings passed to you in defined territories
  • Flexible mix of pay-per-lead, pay-per-quote or pay-per-booking
  • Great for testing new angles or regions without building everything yourself
Program 3 · BeZero Multi-Product

BeZero “Zero Energy Bill” Buyers

BeZero designs whole-of-home strategies to get as close as possible to a zero energy bill.

  • Customers upload bills and home details, then receive a proposed plan
  • Plan can include solar, batteries, heat pumps, insulation, glazing & more
  • We match to up to three partners – often one per product area
  • Ideal if you want high-intent buyers with a clear brief, not tyre kickers

How D2C & Retail Lead Programs Work

Underneath your brand, Jousto or BeZero, the engine is the same: targeted campaigns in, qualified leads and bookings out – with DaveCRM and optional AI doing a lot of the heavy lifting.

Step 1

Attract the Right Households

Campaigns on Meta, Google, YouTube and other channels speak directly to homeowners and investors in your core postcodes – with messaging tuned to energy bills, comfort, property value and green finance.

Step 2

Qualify with Tools & Bill Uploads

We use instant quote tools, calculators, bill uploads and “find my system” wizards to gather context that sales actually need: roof type, bill size, property details, appetite for finance and whole-of-home upgrades.

Step 3

Route to Your Team & Calendars

DaveCRM routes leads to the correct pipelines, calendars and stores – by product, region, store or sales rep – and our appointment setting team can turn them into in-home quotes, virtual consults or phone callbacks.

Step 4

Close & Optimise

Your in-house team can run the sales calls – or you can plug in Honen remote closers. Either way, every touch is logged in DaveCRM so we can see what’s working, report clearly and tune campaigns for profit, not just volume.

Beyond the Lead: Appointments, Closers & Support

Most D2C & retail brands don’t just need more enquiries – they need more of the right conversations and more quotes turned into jobs. That’s where the rest of the Honen stack comes in.

📅Appointment Setting

Per-Appointment Booking

Our appointment setting team can turn raw leads into calendar bookings for in-home quotes, measure ups and virtual consults – charged on a per-appointment basis and synced to your reps’ diaries.

Learn more on our Appointment Setting page.

🎧Remote Sales

Remote Sales Closers (50 / 100 / 150 Hrs)

Add remote sales capacity that lives on top of your leads and bookings. Remote closers run discovery, quotes and structured follow-up from inside DaveCRM – ideal for growing brands that want an extra sales engine without extra headcount.

See Remote Sales Teams for details.

🧩Virtual Assistants

Hybrid VAs Around DaveCRM

Hybrid virtual assistants (50 / 100 / 150 hours) can handle sales admin, content, CRM hygiene and follow-up inside DaveCRM – so your team stays focused on quoting and closing.
