Inspiring Ideas That Get More Projects Approved!

#8 on The Wall Street Journal best-selling hardback business book list for September 13, 2014!

Given the abundance of commercially available energy-saving technologies, talented technologists to apply them, and even generous rebates to help finance them, why in the world aren’t more efficiency projects approved?

Based on twenty years of experience influencing efficiency decision-making in more than three billion square feet of properties, this author concludes that many more projects would be approved if energy professionals were actually trained to “sell” rather than simply “promote” efficiency.

Energy efficiency products, services and programs all require effective selling. Professional sales skills make you more successful at advancing any energy efficiency initiative, regardless of your role in the process. Moreover, you need to think of yourself as a sales professional even if your job title does not include the word “sales.”

This book contains more than 80 short essays, each of which examines a unique aspect of efficiency-focused professional selling. Many originally appeared on Jewell Insights, the Efficiency Sales Professional Institute’s daily email and smartphone blog that offers drip-irrigation reinforcement of concepts borrowed from the award-winning, weeklong Efficiency Sales Professional™ Certificate Boot Camp.

As of this writing, more than one thousand energy professionals have benefited from this training. Hundreds of testimonials confirm the link between efficiency-focused professional selling and increased sales success: higher closing ratios, shorter sales cycles, deeper retrofits, and more. So what does efficiency-focused professional selling look like?

* The confidence to reframe the benefits of efficiency so that they can be measured with the yardsticks that prospects are already using to measure their success.
* A 15-second elevator pitch that is precisely tuned to a particular prospect’s values
* A one-page narrative proposal delineating efficiency targets, the rationale for change, financial projections, status, and action steps for moving forward.
* A one-page financial summary that offers a clear and compelling treatment of both “popular” and “proper” metrics.
* An ability and willingness to sell utility-cost-financial, non-utility-cost financial, and non-financial benefits
* An ability to recognize and replace myths with the math and motivation that get projects approved

Whether you are a manufacturer, specifying engineer, contractor, utility program manager or account executive, third-party program implementer, eco-entrepreneur or any other energy-related professional or job-seeker, you are sure to benefit from the insights provided in this book.

SONGS TO MAKE THE DESERT BEAR FRUIT is the story about the summer when Nathan Gauer attends the first Lakota Sundance in the Black Hills in over a century, an encounter with the unsettled debts of America’s past that will forever shape his relationship with its future.

In 1999, Nathan and his mother set out on a six-week-long road trip hours before his high school graduation. With the open country unfolding before them like a song, Nathan is unsure if he is running from something or toward something. After tracking down an old family friend to repay a debt his mother refers to only as “the favor,” they accept an invitation to attend a Lakota Sundance in the Black Hills. It is here, camping beyond the margins of society among an unforgettable group of would-be writers, wanderers, and revolutionaries, that Nathan meets Gabrielle. The niece of the medicine man responsible for organizing the Sundance, Gabrielle is fierce, funny, capable of reciting classic hip hop albums from memory, and despite her circumstances, unwilling to indulge in self-pity.

She is also a single mother determined to move her sixteen-month-old daughter away from the Rosebud Indian Reservation at any cost. When the Sundance ends, she invites Nathan to return with her to her uncle’s home on the reservation. Against the backdrop of a community at once generous, desolate, and crackling with the threat of violence, they gradually begin to see a future together. But when the harsh realities of her world collide with their plans, Nathan must discover what it means to find his own song capable of making the desert bear fruit.

… There comes a moment in all our lives when we sit back and do a mental inventory. We, in essence, see our lives flash before our eyes. Parson Slang was taking that mental inventory as he sat on the edge of the bed, waiting, a box of shells beside him and hands within reach of a shotgun that would end a human life. He hoped it wouldn’t come to that. The deal is done once the body goes cold. There was no turning back …

Parson was, at one point in time, a warehouse worker. A simple day to day guy, and then that Golden Pirate showed up with the map leading to buried treasure. Parson had debated about it for a good long time, but the chance to wind up rich in this world was too much for him to pass up. So he took the next step, and journeyed beyond his front door, into this new life where he found himself sitting on a bed with a shotgun in his hand, waiting for the door to open.

Follow Parson’s journey as he is double-crossed, pushed into endless peril, and asked to do things most people are rarely asked to do.

Does he get his buried treasure? Does he get that easy life so many of us dream about?

The answers lie within the pages.

The Possessor Wars, Book 1

Jeff Bowman doesn’t know that he is anything other than a normal 14 year old. No one does-at least, no one that’s human. Not yet.

Like most kids his age in the year 2715, Jeff lives in a building that’s 3,000 stories tall. He deals with all the challenges a normal guy faces where he lives-escaping poverty, making the grade in school, handling a bully gone wild, making friends, and maybe finding a girl that’s more than a friend.

But Jeff suddenly finds his world turned upside down and he ends up leaving Earth to colonize a distant planet. On the trip through the Federated Alliance, a disaster strikes and tosses the ship far across the galaxy to a region of space where humanity has never been. Cut off from outside help, the crew and passengers of the lost starship quickly find that they are carrying armed and hostile terrorists. For reasons that no one can understand, the relentless fighters not only want to take control of the ship, but they are specifically targeting Jeff. Struggling against all odds, Jeff must find a way to survive in a dangerous universe that seems bent on destroying him.
