Winning Projects by understanding the Utility Markets & Billings
Drive more energy projects by learning how to gather and use utility bills in your sales process. During this information-packed and interactive session, experts from Fellon-McCord and EnergyPrint will help ae3 members uncover the value hidden in utility data, and better leverage that insight into more opportunity. Attendees will hear case studies about how utility data justifies project opportunity and proves financial results. They will also have interactive discussions addressing both regulated and de-regulated market opportunities, and gain tips on how to use utility “financial” insight to get to the ultimate decision-maker.

 Keynote Speaker (Wednesday, Nov 9)  

Stan Phelps, will address how to focus “on the value of customer experience as a competitive differentiator and the importance of employee engagement in building a strong corporate culture.”

Aside from founding 9 INCH Marketing in 2009 based on the belief that “differentiation via added value” can be a game changing strategy, Stan is known as the best-selling author of What’s Your Purple Goldfish – 12 Ways to Win Customers and Influence Word of Mouth. The book is based on the Purple Goldfish Project, a crowd sourcing effort that collected over 1,001 examples of signature added value. The book draws inspiration from the concept of lagniappe, providing 12 practical strategies for winning the hearts of customers and influencing positive word of mouth. Stan will be utilizing these principles during this conference in each of the tracks.
