Why Independent Reps for Energy Efficiency & LED Lighting Sales Reps?

The most efficient way to scale your sales force.

Distributor & ESCO Access

Reps who already work with lighting distributors and ESCOs can slot your line into retrofit projects.

Spec & Utility Rebate Expertise

They understand DLC/Title 24 and rebate paperwork to keep you approved and funded.

Jobsite Coverage

Hands-on reps handle mockups, controls programming, and contractor questions to prevent swaps.

The Problem

Are your fixtures getting swapped for rebates?

If distributors and ESCOs don’t trust your line or rebate eligibility, they default to incumbents before installs.

Spec Drops in Plan Review

Engineers approve alternates from brands with known performance data.

Rebate Delays

Utility paperwork stalls projects when reps can’t navigate requirements.

No Jobsite Support

Contractors swap to stocked fixtures when there’s no rep to answer install questions.

The Solution

Zilla Sales connects you with lighting reps who already manage ESCO, distributor, and contractor relationships to keep your line on every project.
