  • How Much Energy Could Solar Save You?

    Have you wondered? I can help you find out.

    I was surprised at how much solar capacity was available on several townhomes we're looking at on Capitol Hill. One even had what appeared to be a lot of shade.

    Call me and let's talk about an evaluation and possible design on a photo voltaic, solar hot water system, or combination system for you.

    Let me know what you're thinking.

  • What Do You Want to Know About Energy?

    Hey Folks,

    When it comes to transportation, lighting and heating your home, what are you curious about? Peak oil? Carbon Offsets? Why the heck aren't we doing more, NOW?

    I'm putting together a talk on energy, what our future energy is going to look like, where it's going to come from, and what we can do personally.

    Please let me know what YOU want to know! I'll tailor my talk to the feedback I get.......................

    I'm also going to cover the opportunities for work and investment..............

  • Get the Sales Help/Get the Coaching AND Your guitar lessons

    Hey Gang,

    Great News! I am now available part-time/flexibly, to help sell for you/get you that sales coaching you've been NEEDING. Also, you can start those guitar lessons with me you've been putting off. Also if you have been putting off getting married because you haven't found someone to play music (insert smiley here), set a date and I'll play and sing for you!

    As many of you know, I've recently started a business, The Potential Energy Project. Much to my AMAZEMENT, it is actually taking longer than I thought! (who'da thunk?)

    The good news for YOU or your friends or business associates is that I can help sell for you/or coach you and get YOU off your buns and selling. I can teach your crew to sell for you. You can start playing that guitar, or get me and/or my far more beautiful singing partner Rebeqa to play/sing for you.

    First come, first served!

    Take good care of yourselves,

  • Would folks like a talk on How to Sell like a Human Being?

    Let me ask:

    Are you doing everything you can to "build it and (hope) they will come", but they're not coming fast enough?

    Are you avoiding sales, because you hate sales, salespersons, and you NEVER want to be one, BUT you NEED to be one?

    (okay, enough leading questions) The good news is, you can learn to sell like a human, from your heart, and be a problem solver, and make more money, and provide your wonderful solution to more people!

    If I can get some responses here, I'll give the talk I gave in the Fall that people liked, "Damn it Jim, I'm a _______, not a Salesperson. (props to Bridget St John for the name)

  • Is there ANY accountability for claims made here?

    Dear Community,

    It has come to my attention that there are people making claims for results in biznik that would be pretty far outside the norm.

    I'm all for breakthroughs and innovation, but in the event people are making claims that can't be substantiated, or are just plain defrauding people, what is the mechanism here on biznik deal with these people?

  • What a great group!

    REEEAlly mean that. My first event was the one at Poco. It was such a pleasure to be in a group of people who did what they loved, and loved what they did.

    It really made finding out what people did a pleasure and very relaxed.

    Me? Hey, just a guy who appreciates life, has vowed to find another great item to sell (yours?) and NEVER return to Cubicleland! Give me a phone, a fax, and the interweb, and I shall find the peeps who need your stuff!

    I also make music: singin', guitar playin', and writin tunes.....

  • Would a Presentation on Selling Like a Real Human be Helpful?

    Hey Gang,

    A couple of you expressed an interest in learning to sell better, and Dan said he thought it'd be a hot topic.........

    I'm a bit of a sales geek, see it as an art, the art of uncovering/discovering needs/opportunities. (basic philosophy in my description) It can be a very helpful and enjoyable encounter.....(yep, you can learn to enjoy selling!)

    What would be helpful to you in terms of sales? How to prospect? How to sell in front of groups? How to set appointments and sell one-on-one? How's your "elevator pitch"?

    Catchy titles as I'm drifting off to sleep here"

    Selling for People who Hate Sales People Selling for People who Hate to be Sold The Art of Selling Selling for People who'd rather do anything but sell!!! How I learned to stop worrying and love sales (wearing a bit thin here.....) How Would Jesus Sell? (JUST KIDDING!) Sell Your Idea Without Selling Your Soul

    I hope I can provide something really helpful, lemme know!!! Shoes
