Connecting the Dots
How efficiency maps into values and metrics that your prospects actually care about.
One of the most powerful forms of persuasion is helping your prospects “connect the dots” between your offering’s benefits and outcomes they are already seeking.
How would enhanced efficiency advance your prospect’s organizational and personal goals? Could your project’s benefits be measured with yardsticks that your prospect is already using?
Learn how to use segment- and role-specific business acumen, success stories and guiding questions that allow prospects to see the connection between enhanced efficiency and the beneficial outcomes they are already seeking.
Thursday April 4, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm PST
Calculating Returns
Which financial metrics really matter and when to use each one.
Simple payback period, return on investment and internal rate of return are three of the most popular metrics used to evaluate expense-reducing capital projects. Unfortunately, each has shortcomings that can hide the true benefits of worthwhile energy-saving projects, leading to suboptimal decisions.
Learn how migrating the discussion to more proper metrics (e.g., net present value, modified internal rate of return, savings-to-investment ratio, and life-cycle cost) is an important step on the road to getting more efficiency projects approved.
Thursday April 25, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm PST
Capturing Attention
How to communicate compelling value.
Can you describe in 15 seconds or less the value your offering will provide to a particular prospect or organization? Can you distill your value proposition and call to action down to a single printed page? And can you present a multi-year cash flow and decision-making metrics that highlight your project’s financial worthiness in just one additional page? Capturing your prospect’s attention is the first step to getting any efficiency project approved.
Learn the importance of understanding what each link on the decision-making chain most values and why carefully tuning your spoken and written communication wins you the management bandwidth and capital you need to move efficiency forward.
Thursday May 2, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm PST
Replacing Myths with Math and Motivation
How to overcome myths and objections that prevent project approvals.
Understanding your prospect’s market segment, role and approach to decision-making allows you to present offerings that resonate with what your prospect is trying to accomplish. Doing so holds the potential to transform prospect reluctance into genuine motivation to proceed.
Learn how to recognize and address dozens of myths and objections that can cause efficiency projects to be ignored, delayed or rejected, and why telling your customer’s story instead of your own opens the door to getting many more projects approved.
Thursday May 9, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm PST
