As an experienced installer, you have a great advantage.
1. Wages Earned Per Sale
Sales Commissions for a triple play, for example, can total from $150 and up for a sub and $250 and up for a Prime. You can also add installation services where you can use your skills to ruthlessly nickel and dime to death. A great way to pad your wages on top of your sales commissions.
2. You Can Sell Then Instant Install
Customers will love the instant install aspect. Very appealing to a culture brainwashed on instant gratification and customers are far more likely to give money for a service provided than give money for a promise of service later.
3. You'll Get Paid
Sales only groups suffer up to 50% failure rate on getting their sales installed by some goof ball group of hacks that are locked in for installation contract locally. Then the sales reps get penciled to death for the rest. You, on the other hand, as a sales/installer, made the sale, installed it, and collected whatever money needs to be collected. You will have a virtual 100% success rate. Though you may have a minuscule chance of getting charged back on the sale (they are almost never enforced even if in contract), you won't be charged back on the installation.
Go for it and try to get a Prime Contract. Your skills would be especially useful in rural markets where nobody wants to work and local techs don't have time to install traveling sales reps' deals. You will clean up.
