Zain Jan is the CEO and founder of Better Earth Solar, a company established in California that grew 75% in August, they have more than x A player sales reps that bring over $50MM a year for their company (now they're on track for 100MM in sales in 2020)

I used to work at solar city and I knew I could do more, I partnered up with somebody and our visions weren't aligned so I went to create my own business.

And in the first month we made more than our record month in the other company!

Since then we have been growing at least 20% each and every month and in august we grew 75%!

Zain Jan: I helped run one of the largest offices at Tesla owned, Solar City. After becoming extremely successful in the solar industry, I partnered up with Aaron Katz, a well known CEO in the Solar industry, and Owen Gintis, a retired high frequency trader on wall street. I also brought along some of my best friends(Mikey, MJ, Juan, Andrew, Samir) to help start the sales component of the company. Without them we wouldn’t have got to where we have.

Zain Jan: We recruit young and hungry professionals from all over the nation, and plug them into the #1 sales training platform on the planet, Cardone University. Many companies in the industry don’t provide proper training and guidance for their team, we make training our top priority. Through clear communication, our executive team provides feedback with full transparency, a problem I have seen in many companies. Our leadership has created a great sales team by developing more efficient data and logistical processes. We make sure our sales cycle is simple for the customer and for the sales rep. We have found that many companies in the industry have extremely complicated sales processes, we decided to take a different approach and make our process extremely simple. Because of these reasons, we have been called an anomaly by many power players in the industry such as Spruce Finance, Sunrun, and Solarcity.

He started his first company at 16, dropped out of college at 19, and went on to build a Multi-Million Dollar empire by 20. In a nutshell – this Boston native is obsessed with starting cutting-edge empires and disrupting the status quo of industries stuck on old ideologies.

At the sight and sound of his name, you might immediately assume Zain Jan is the prodigy in a long and successful familial line of politicians, CEO’s, and royal ancestry. However in reality he is far from all of those things.

Now 23, the self-made millennial has 100+ employees helping him carry forward his vision of a fully renewable Earth and his company is ranked amongst the best places to work in the United States. We can’t help but wonder… What could this college drop-out possibly be working towards next?

In this interview we sought out to answer that question and get his insight on common challenges that other young entrepreneurs face.
