I am working for a small Electricity Broker. Basically deregulated zones in the state of Texas have a choice of about 50 different retail electric providers... The company I work for has agreements with about 10~ retail providers that pay us a small fee per kWh.
(I get paid salary plus 20% of that)
We get a good amount of leads but they are all small....... Rarely I get an account thats between 500,000 kWh and 3,000,000 kWh per year...
On a rare deal thats around 2 million or so kWh per year... I get around $100 per month for however many years they signed for.......
I have done the math and based on current leads its simply IMPOSSIBLE for me to make as much money as I need want and deserve.......
So........ I am trying to find ways to make larger sales! I have even considered just being the broker myself! I need to find away to control my income better!
I am thinking that if I could figure out a way to get my name/number out to decision makers of large companies that use large amounts of electricity.... Or huge offices, or have them calling me... or something that I can definitely "sell" them per say... I mean who doesnt want to save money on electricity!?!?
Most people pay 10-15 cent per kWh (commercial) 8-9 on the low end, and I can get people rates around 5 to 7 cent, 7 being the highest! So if I can simply get in contact with the right people its a done deal. There really is not much selling left to do once I have gotten the opportunity to show them the savings its basically a done deal!
ANY suggestions would be appreciated!
