Listen "Blitz Queen: How Melissa Romiza Runs Elite Solar Sprints"
Episode Synopsis
What separates a chaotic blitz from a dialed, high-profit machine?In this episode, Nick sits down with Melissa Romiza, known across the solar industry as the “Blitz Queen.” Melissa has led teams doing over 2,100 kW in a two-week blitz, with tight systems, clear standards, and culture strong enough to keep both performance and retention high.Melissa breaks down her entire blitz playbook step by step: how she chooses markets, caps headcount, and enforces a hard two-week cutoff for recruiting so onboarding and training are actually done before reps land. She shares how she structures housing, food, bootcamps, KPIs, and leadership pods so everyone knows exactly what “winning” looks like each day.They also dig into the uncomfortable stuff most leaders avoid: sending people home, holding the line on standards, getting real feedback from reps, and why competition, experiences, and genuine community matter more than another cash bonus. If you run teams, blitzes, or any kind of high-intensity push, this conversation will show you what a real operational standard looks like.
