Jousto Installer Partner Program

Jousto helps good installers win more of their own jobs.

Keep the subbie work that keeps the vans busy while we help you build a reliable pipeline of direct solar and battery jobs of your own.

We bring the enquiries in, nurture them, keep the follow-up moving and help with the bit that happens before the system gets on the roof.

Does this sound like you?

Good installer. Busy owner. Too many hats.

You’ve got one, two or three crews. The vans are busy. You’re probably doing a fair bit of subbie work because it keeps everyone moving.

But you’re also answering enquiries, returning calls, chasing quotes, organising site visits, dealing with approvals, keeping customers updated and trying to run the install business.

The problem usually isn’t that you can’t install more systems. It’s everything that has to happen before the system gets on the roof.

You don’t need to become a marketing expert. You need some help behind the scenes.

You don’t need to stop doing subbie work tomorrow. Start by winning a few more of your own jobs each month.

Your own work

Subbie work keeps the vans moving. Your own jobs make the cream.

There’s nothing wrong with subcontract work. It can keep crews productive and cash flowing.

But when it is your own customer, your own quote and your own job, you start building value in your business rather than only supplying the labour.

Jousto helps you build that direct-work pipeline gradually, without turning yourself into a full-time marketer or sales manager.

Start with the people you already paid to find

Before we find another 100 people, let’s work the people you already have.

Most installers already have potential jobs sitting in old Facebook leads, quote requests, battery enquiries, old solar customers, quiet quotes and people who said “not yet”.

When you join, one of the first things we do is import the old database and start recovery.

Recovered opportunities from your own database do not count as part of your 20 new Jousto opportunities.

We’re not asking you to keep buying strangers while ignoring people you already paid to find.

The practical version

We help with the bit that happens before the install.

New enquiry

Callback / site scope

Follow-up

Ready for install

We make sure the right things happen around you so fewer good opportunities disappear while you are on a roof, driving, doing approvals or dealing with today’s job.

20 new opportunities

Your first 20 new Jousto opportunities are included each month.

Follow-up that keeps moving

SMS, email, lead grading, reminders and customer replies keep working when you are busy.

Old lead recovery

We import old enquiries from spreadsheets, email accounts and phones and help bring them back to life.

Lost quote recovery

People who received a quote but never made a decision do not have to be forgotten.

Better phone and SMS

Call recording, transcripts, after-hours support where configured and call review help improve customer conversations.

Reviews and bookings

Review requests and live calendars help build local trust and make future handovers easier.

What we call an opportunity

Not just another name and phone number.

“A homeowner who has completed one of our lead magnets, is being actively nurtured through the Jousto process, and is engaging with that process.”

A Partner opportunity usually starts with an Instant Quote-style enquiry. Jousto then adds immediate grading, useful information, SMS and email nurture, AI-assisted follow-up, customer education, callback requests and site-scope booking where appropriate.

The aim is to move a real homeowner naturally from “I’m interested” toward “I’m ready to talk.”

The system behind the scenes

Dave works in the background.

Every enquiry goes into one place. Dave helps follow people up, tracks calls and quotes, asks for reviews, books appointments and tells you when someone needs your attention.

Use the whole pipeline if you want to. But you should not need to become a CRM expert to make it work.

  • Email and SMS alerts
  • Live calendar bookings
  • Phone and SMS tracking
  • Call recordings and transcripts
  • Lead grading
  • Nurture workflows
  • Review requests
  • Old lead recovery
  • Old quote recovery

Your whole pipeline

Buying leads somewhere else? Put them through Dave too.

The Partner Program is designed to improve your whole jobs pipeline, not only the opportunities Jousto generates.

If you buy leads from another supplier, those enquiries can also run through your follow-up system. The issue is often not where the lead came from, but getting hold of the customer and staying in the conversation long enough to win the job.

What you get

Everything you need to start building your own jobs pipeline.

DaveCRM sits behind the Partner Program, but you should not have to live inside it.

The offer

A practical starting point.

Jousto Installer Partner Program

$2,500 + GST per month

3-month initial commitment · Charged monthly in advance · No setup fee

  • First 20 new Jousto opportunities each month
  • Complete follow-up system
  • Old lead and lost quote recovery
  • Monthly review and Marketing Snapshot
  • Ongoing Jousto support and optimisation

Opportunities are delivered as they arrive through the month. They do not roll over.

Why a 3-month initial term?

Because we are doing more than sending leads. We set up the system, import old enquiries and quotes, start recovery campaigns, introduce new opportunities and improve follow-up based on what customers actually do.

Three months gives us enough time to do that properly and judge the partnership on real activity rather than the first couple of weeks.

Grow when you are ready

When the system is working, add capacity.

More jobs first. More volume or support second.

More opportunities

25 additional opportunities

$2,500 + GST

Add more volume when your crews can comfortably handle more direct work. We work backwards from how many extra jobs your existing crews can take.

Sales & Admin Coordinator

$2,500 + GST per month

Add a trained Coordinator when calls, quoting, bookings, follow-up and admin become the next bottleneck.

Who this is for

Built for owner-led installer businesses.

  • You have 1–3 install crews and are accredited.
  • You have been running your own business long enough to know you want more direct work.
  • You are still handling plenty of quoting, calls or admin yourself.
  • You are doing a meaningful amount of subbie work.
  • You have room for another 5–15 direct installs per month.
  • You care about customer experience and local reputation.
  • You want practical help building the front end of the business.

We work directly with the business owner because we are building this around the way your business actually operates.

A different fit

Already got the sales machine?

If you already have a mature CRM, dedicated sales team and a marketing and follow-up system you are happy with, you probably do not need the Partner Program. That is what the Jousto Installer Marketplace is for.

Why Jousto

Built around installers, not from behind a desk.

Denny Honen has worked in direct marketing since 1993 and solar sales and marketing since 2003, across solar retail, dealer networks, wholesale distribution, PV design, energy auditing, offshore support teams and marketing automation.

Especially in the earlier years, Denny worked alongside installation crews as a technical assistant — carrying panels, getting on roofs, travelling long distances to remote sites and dealing with real onsite problems. That included extensive work in remote Australia, including the APY Lands, and hands-on project work across Asia.

“I’m not an electrician, and I’m not going to pretend I am. But I’ve spent more than 20 years working beside installers, selling the systems they install, supplying the equipment they use and helping build the businesses around them.”

That experience is what the Jousto Installer Partner Program is built around.

A small network

We are looking for around 20 good installer Partners.

We would rather work closely with a limited number of strong installer businesses than sign hundreds of companies and become another lead vendor. The goal is to build long-term relationships and help each Partner grow a meaningful direct jobs pipeline.

A Partner network should actually feel like a partnership.

There will be a Jousto Partner group chat and ongoing contact with the team. Partners can share what is working, product and supplier updates, customer objections, sales ideas, local market observations and technical information. Denny may also travel to work with Partners in person where useful.

Real people. Real relationships. Not another dashboard login.

Common questions

Straight answers before we talk.

What happens to my customers and data if I leave?+

Your customer information and business data remain yours. You can keep DaveCRM as a standalone paid service or have the underlying sub-account transferred to your own GoHighLevel account. Jousto’s proprietary branded nurture sequences and Partner Program systems remain with Jousto.

Do I need to learn another CRM?+

No. DaveCRM sits behind the system, but we build the workflow around the way you already work. You can use the dashboard if you want to, while replies, callbacks and bookings can be pushed through normal channels.

Can I put leads from other providers through it?+

Yes. The Partner Program is designed to improve your whole jobs pipeline, not only Jousto opportunities.

What counts as a Jousto opportunity?+

A homeowner who has completed one of our lead magnets, is being actively nurtured through the Jousto process and is engaging with that process.

What if I already have a sales team and CRM?+

You probably want the Jousto Installer Marketplace rather than the Partner Program.

Why is the initial term three months?+

Because we are doing more than sending leads. We set up the system, import old enquiries and quotes, start recovery campaigns, introduce new opportunities and improve follow-up based on what customers actually do. Three months gives us enough time to do that properly and judge the partnership on real activity.

Your next move

Want more of your own jobs?

If you are a good installer with the crews and technical capability, but the enquiries, follow-up, quotes and admin side are getting in the way, let’s see if we are a good fit.
