So the founder needs real partner trust, not just ads. Without that, paid leads can arrive before installer capacity is ready, which pushes installs out and slows the path to \u003cstrong\u003e150 residential installs\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"right-row5\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"tips-box\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003eBuild the Partner List First\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eBefore launch, verify the basics that turn interest into booked jobs: a partner list, a clear referral offer, a tight quote script, demo materials, and CRM tracking.

So the founder should sequence outreach, quoting, and install dates together, then keep enough crew time open for the first pilot jobs.
