um you know a review of the service that

play04:02

we've given them so you know um there's

play04:06

there's there's a decent margin in heat

play04:08

pumps um so you know it's an industry

play04:12

that is is only going to grow um at a

play04:17

more accelerated rate you know you see

play04:19

as soon as the big six start to move

play04:21

into the market you know you know

play04:24

obviously they've got a much bigger you

play04:26

know research and marketing department

play04:28

which yeah you know you know as soon as

play04:30

they've moved into it you know that this

play04:32

is you know this is something that is

play04:35

going to move at a much quicker Pace

play04:38

yeah that's why you can tell just by the

play04:40

way I'm doing business uh I only like

play04:42

help these installers who only install

play04:45

Asos heat pumps it works for uh

play04:47

companies that also do ground work

play04:49

obviously the companies that specialize

play04:51

in Asos heat pumps also do ground uh

play04:54

Source heat pumps as well so I exactly

play04:56

same the same I exactly think the same

play04:58

way as you uh this why I'm I'm in the

play05:00

first place I recently jumped into this

play05:02

industry and to yeah squeeze the lemon

play05:04

artist opportunity and then the way I do

play05:06

it is by just uh helping you guys

play05:09

because that's obviously where my uh

play05:11

cash flow like comes in so yeah uh let

play05:17

me so what's your background my

play05:19

background yeah uh in terms of like uh

play05:24

in terms of what well in terms of the

play05:27

industry

play05:30

do you understand heat perms have you

play05:31

been you know are you sort of purely

play05:34

from a marketing background I haven't

play05:36

even touched the product itself I just

play05:38

do marketing it's like as you just

play05:40

mentioned it's not only a gross

play05:42

opportunity for companies like yours but

play05:44

for companies like mine as well as

play05:46

marketers because yeah if if if it's a

play05:48

good opportunity for you then that means

play05:49

that uh us helping you get clients that

play05:54

part of work is also going to be easy

play05:56

for us because yeah there's there's

play05:57

going to be lots incentive and if you

play05:58

think that government is on your your

play05:59

side and yeah you got you got the whole

play06:01

world like on your side because if the

play06:03

government is on your side you're not

play06:05

only benefiting from the incentive St

play06:06

the government has to offer but also uh

play06:08

its attempts to stop uh boiler the bo

play06:11

the sale of boilers that's yeah

play06:14

happening now in the UK it's also going

play06:16

to limit the government try is going to

play06:18

try to limit those sales as

play06:20

well and if you look at it like very

play06:23

very logically what we're trying what

play06:25

we're saying here just makes perfect

play06:26

sense in terms of like opportunity thing

play06:30

and the background for me would be I

play06:33

jumped to this industry on June the

play06:35

beginning of June and I've since then

play06:36

I've only re to been able to work with

play06:39

one company partner up will restart

play06:41

everything the company name is LC

play06:44

installations and yeah you guys would be

play06:46

the second company for me to partner up

play06:49

with and then help get you guys more

play06:51

jobs so yeah let us

play06:56

decide oh so Julian disappeared yeah I

play06:59

just time he he was not even moving oh

play07:03

yeah

play07:04

that's yeah for some reason they having

play07:06

problems in the

play07:10

office yeah you were just not moving I

play07:14

just realized

play07:17

that so yeah uh so when it comes to what

play07:20

we do uh we have complimented systems

play07:24

like uh We've integrated and white

play07:26

leveled to our own brand and all I can

play07:29

say is that what you guys hear is about

play07:31

results genuinely it's about how what

play07:34

results you're going to get to the money

play07:35

you guys invest and let me just uh start

play07:39

asking from this side how many uh

play07:42

customers are you guys helping like

play07:44

monly in terms of air source heat pum

play07:46

sales only air source heat pum and

play07:48

what's the profit margin in there or

play07:50

Revenue wise every single month because

play07:53

I want to know what capacity you guys

play07:54

are performing at and yeah so that we

play07:57

can look at well we we currently they

play08:00

only do about five a month but we're not

play08:03

I mean heat PBS are a high ticket item

play08:07

um but

play08:09

it's octopus have been uh skewing the

play08:13

markets lately because they've been

play08:15

subsidizing their

play08:17

installs so yeah I'm aware but they

play08:20

they've moved away from that now luckily

play08:22

um so that they they were doing installs

play08:25

at probably about 30% less than the

play08:29

market

play08:31

so it's really sort of

play08:36

um I don't know if it's I don't think

play08:39

it's permanently damaged but there's a

play08:40

lot of people who have been to octopus

play08:43

obviously uh on these heatup groups H

play08:47

and as you know social media is a

play08:48

powerful platform um and you know when

play08:52

somebody sees um you know an install

play08:56

that's been done by octopus for like

play08:58

9,000

play09:00

whereas we would be doing it for like

play09:03

13,000 it then skews the perception of

play09:07

the value and the you know the cost for

play09:11

for the whole for the whole

play09:13

industry so it kind of slowed everything

play09:16

down but octopus have now moved from

play09:19

that model

play09:21

to a standard market rate you know so

play09:25

they've gone from their 9,000 now and

play09:27

they're now 14,000

play09:30

you know which is a very odd move but

play09:33

you know at least it gives the rest of

play09:36

us

play09:37

um a sort of a more of an even sort of

play09:40

Keel in sort of price point um so

play09:44

they'll still have obviously the

play09:46

advantage of a large company um but you

play09:50

know we you know it's not something we

play09:52

want to um you know do like sort of 40 a

play09:57

month certainly not yet

play09:59

um you know I'd like to grow it to

play10:04

probably

play10:06

doing

play10:09

um probably about three or four

play10:12

week

play10:14

probably probably try to do it for three

play10:16

what do you say in the last line I

play10:18

didn't quite get I'd like to do grow it

play10:21

within the next six months to doing

play10:23

about four a

play10:24

week yeah four a week yeah I've got that

play10:28

yeah so I mean

play10:29

that's qu that's quite a lot of

play10:31

infrastructure needed for that because a

play10:33

heat pump install typically takes sort

play10:36

of um two or three plumbers and Sparky a

play10:40

week to do yeah exactly so from a you

play10:44

know a Personnel point of view there's

play10:46

you know it it's it's not like solar

play10:49

where solar is in and out in the day um

play10:53

you know there's a there a there's a lot

play10:54

more involved with a heat pump um yeah

play11:00

yeah Marg the margins are bigger than um

play11:04

than on the solar on the domestic solar

play11:07

anyway um so you know the U the typical

play11:11

heat pump install will be cir sort of 13

play11:14

to 16,000 on an air

play11:16

source um I mean ground Source isn't

play11:19

really you know you talk 30k plus yeah

play11:23

exactly um but you're looking about 30%

play11:26

uh margin on the uh on the heat pump

play11:30

yeah and when you said octopus energy

play11:32

just stopped doing that it just had to

play11:34

it because a lot of companies must have

play11:37

complain in the first place to the uh

play11:39

like to the high officials because the

play11:41

government has has to also create like

play11:43

more uh work for you guys as well in

play11:47

that case if if if it only created if it

play11:48

only like incentiv wiseed or like

play11:51

subsidized uh octopus energy then in

play11:53

that case economically that would be

play11:57

no it wouldn't be good for comp

play12:00

yeah I don't know it wasn't subsidized

play12:02

by um that was an internal company thing

play12:09

yeah

play12:11

Monopoly that's probably why they had to

play12:13

drop it m it's it's un is it

play12:17

well a lot of them still a lot of them

play12:20

are still doing deals whereby if you um

play12:25

you know if you have an install done

play12:26

with them they give you a better rate on

play12:28

your energy

play12:30

B so that still goes on yeah really

play12:35

pushing from every single angle then

play12:37

yeah but I think I think it was more

play12:39

from the point of view of it it's it was

play12:41

an unsustainable business model you know

play12:44

so from their point it not illegal to

play12:47

offer a monetary

play12:50

gift you can you can give gift vouchers

play12:53

but if you're giving someone a

play12:54

preferential rate over a period of

play12:57

time yeah of course it I mean I can

play12:59

charge you know cost

play13:02

price you

play13:05

know yeah a preferential rate on their

play13:09

energy if they

play13:11

were

play13:13

yeah obvious they're doing it yeah where

play13:17

do you guys

play13:18

serve sou Wales so we'll we'll sort of

play13:22

basically

play13:23

do well yes I mean you know we do go

play13:26

from East uh from the West Coast to the

play13:29

eastern border of Wales but you know

play13:32

there's such a large Market in the sort

play13:35

of southwest of Wales is that that's

play13:37

really the area we want to focus on

play13:40

initially yeah exactly because that's

play13:42

the power you got uh like at your at

play13:44

Your Arsenal now just try to dominate

play13:46

your local area first of all and then by

play13:48

having that trust like that you have

play13:50

around your local area and then yeah

play13:52

leveraging then to scale up and then

play13:54

like in the long run after just like

play13:56

you're

play13:57

saying you might take even like more

play13:59

than one or two years

play14:01

definitely uh but yeah you got the power

play14:04

to uh serve the people around you like

play14:07

in your local area and and that's that's

play14:10

something that octopus energy might not

play14:12

be able to yeah have any kind of

play14:15

advantage over you so yeah you said you

play14:17

guys can do at at best four jobs a week

play14:21

in that case in a month that would be

play14:23

about 16 15 uh how many is it now right

play14:27

now how many is it the Gap I want to

play14:29

know like the Gap well we're only doing

play14:32

one a week at the

play14:35

moment yeah I hear that so you guys are

play14:38

probably looking for 15 yeah for 15

play14:40

installations done like working with

play14:43

us uh so what we offer is we for example

play14:48

let me start from the beginning uh

play14:50

there's stages uh to the sale right and

play14:53

until a somebody who doesn't know about

play14:56

your company until the stage of them uh

play14:59

being closed by you there are a couple

play15:01

of stages that and we only go until the

play15:03

stage of them being qualified meaning

play15:07

that uh their property is

play15:09

suitable uh for heat pump installations

play15:12

and also they're they're ready to

play15:15

buy we pre we have withd them pre pre-

play15:18

conversation before we hand them over to

play15:19

you and then what you are what you will

play15:21

be getting working with us is just uh

play15:24

conversation sales basically with

play15:26

already pre-qualified customers and just

play15:28

like just like that you will have

play15:30

virtual meetings with uh with them if if

play15:33

they if they want to call they want to

play15:34

call if they want to book a call just

play15:36

like this one they're going to do but we

play15:38

get paid for the ones that do show up

play15:40

just like I'm now and you guys are

play15:42

showing up yeah they do get paid for the

play15:44

for the fact that they show up and if

play15:47

you have for example what I mean by that

play15:49

is that if you have a customer who only

play15:51

like gives you their names and phone

play15:53

numbers that means that they're

play15:54

interested in buying you can assume like

play15:55

statistically they're like interested in

play15:57

buying let's say 15 20 % right and then

play16:00

once they book an appointment with you

play16:01

that means they're interested 50% 15%

play16:04

off the way and once they show up that's

play16:06

like above 80% uh already Sal is won and

play16:10

that's that's what what we really

play16:11

generate you do not pay for the ones

play16:13

that also uh book appointment but do not

play16:16

show up meaning that they ghosted you

play16:18

and they AR aren't really about it and

play16:21

once they're like with you after they

play16:23

have like statistically 80 80% plus uh

play16:26

interest that means that it's your job

play16:28

like to close them in which case it's

play16:29

GNA really be it's going to be much

play16:32

easier than just average sale you guys

play16:34

are

play16:35

having uh keeping keeping it exception

play16:39

like only for the ones that uh come to

play16:42

you with referral from referrals yeah

play16:47

so is it okay that we go with 15 those

play16:51

of those sales for the first month and

play16:53

then we we're going to go we can just uh

play16:57

up the up that number into

play16:59

how how however much you want from the

play17:01

next months if it's 15 in the sales

play17:04

competitions and assuming uh in the war

play17:06

case you close say uh 40% of them which

play17:11

is about say six of them or even seven

play17:16

that's the worst case I would say and

play17:18

now you got a yeah you've got a good uh

play17:20

return on investment and in terms of

play17:22

cost and

play17:23

financial yeah so far have you got any

play17:26

questions no no just how much it cost

play17:30

yeah for E for each sale uh that shows

play17:33

up for each appointment that shows up we

play17:34

charge 200 pounds and that and that's

play17:38

just in included marketing fees as well

play17:40

200 pounds per each appointment that

play17:42

shows up as I mentioned it includes the

play17:44

marketing fees as well as the service

play17:46

charge so we're basically covering that

play17:49

for example say we weren't able to hit

play17:52

that number right for some reason and

play17:53

what we have in in in guarantee is that

play17:55

we're going to spend the service we're

play17:57

going to spend the amount that we ALS Al

play17:59

got from you that we thought we would

play18:00

keep for for as a service charge we're

play18:02

going to spend that uh on marketing fees

play18:06

to get you the those numbers and when

play18:08

when I say 15 sales uh that shows up

play18:10

it's just the minimum number I'm just

play18:13

averaging it ter in terms of the yeah

play18:15

average industry

play18:18

prices okay because an average lead

play18:20

costs about 25 pounds and average

play18:22

appointment cost about 18 880 to 100

play18:25

pound and the ones that show up they're

play18:28

worth gold because they're about about

play18:30

to

play18:32

buy cool and yeah we do not and also I

play18:36

do not really try to close them on the

play18:37

phone I just uh like try to push those

play18:40

offers over the phone and then yeah you

play18:41

can I'm I just work as a customer

play18:43

representative here at this

play18:45

company and yeah you can just do book

play18:47

your call there and there and if they

play18:49

have any specific questions yeah I'm

play18:50

going to try to answer at my best but

play18:53

yeah I'm going to try to leave it for

play18:54

you

play18:55

guys because see I might I don't work in

play18:59

this company I don't really know what

play19:01

goes in and out of business so so far

play19:04

have you guys got any

play19:06

questions nope and 15 yeah 15 would be

play19:11

uh 3,000 for the first month and then

play19:14

you guys are going to yeah we're going

play19:15

to spend 100 each day from the first day

play19:19

and then uh the first 7 to 14 this is

play19:23

going to be spent uh the time is going

play19:25

to spend on doing market research

play19:27

specifically in your area and everything

play19:29

because I believe that it's 95% of the

play19:31

time it's about market research and 5%

play19:33

of the time

play19:35

implementation uh the reason I say that

play19:37

is because you guys can still go and do

play19:39

it yourselves even somebody else in your

play19:41

company you can do this the things that

play19:43

I can do but not only going to take time

play19:45

but also like experience uh in terms of

play19:48

that's why you guys are in the first

play19:49

place uh thinking of Outsourcing if

play19:52

somebody who is yeah spe who's

play19:54

specialist in this specific field

play19:55

marketing

play19:59

okay so

play20:10

the by the way have you guys done any

play20:13

marketing before in in the past I I know

play20:15

that you guys do on

play20:17

Google well we do I've done everything

play20:20

so we've done a lot of Facebook we've

play20:22

doing payer click on Google ads yeah uh

play20:26

direct marketing we

play20:29

you

play20:29

know which which one which one would you

play20:32

say that works the best in specifically

play20:35

for your

play20:36

company in terms of not air source sales

play20:39

but also in as a

play20:41

fields to be honest we haven't really s

play20:43

done much on the air source most of my

play20:45

marketing has been for solar PV yeah and

play20:48

the most the most you know successful

play20:51

rout to Market on that is always been

play20:55

Facebook you know Google um

play20:59

Google's a tough one uh I mean most

play21:02

people run off their phones these days

play21:06

you know they don't sit at computer and

play21:08

and browse the internet they sit on

play21:10

their phone and browse especially

play21:12

especially considering the fact that uh

play21:14

when you say why not so many people are

play21:17

like switching to heat pumps the first

play21:18

response would be knowledge they're

play21:20

ignorant of the fact of those opportuni

play21:22

exist because people have people have

play21:24

money if you look at people have money

play21:27

but what they don't know is the yeah

play21:29

information that's out there but they

play21:31

don't have access so on Google there's

play21:34

in demand there's demand is in there

play21:35

already right people go into there with

play21:37

intent it's intent based uh Market

play21:40

marketing but Facebook is just uh God

play21:42

just thinks about this has been thinking

play21:44

about switching to it for a long time

play21:45

and then once they see that you guys are

play21:47

based in their local area about 5 to 10

play21:50

miles away from where he's located and

play21:52

then yeah he's he's he's definitely

play21:53

going to be pushed to motivated to go

play21:55

ahead and yeah they submit information

play21:57

like that's the EAS thing we just grab

play21:59

grab them by offering them small uh call

play22:02

to actions and leading them to the sale

play22:05

that you guys are going to have that's

play22:07

that's how the marketing system works

play22:08

and everything you just can't say you

play22:09

sell buy buy now now I'm GNA say so what

play22:13

what is your what is your route to

play22:14

market then say that again what is your

play22:18

chosen route to Market are

play22:21

you you mean specific platforms Facebook

play22:25

YouTube predominantly do on Facebook

play22:28

just Facebook

play22:29

and then if we it's not like we only F

play22:32

on Facebook but if we try if we think of

play22:34

scaling in after like next three month

play22:37

with working with you guys we're

play22:38

definitely gonna uh step into YouTube as

play22:41

well we're going to see we're going to

play22:43

see how it goes and then Google as well

play22:45

you guys obviously are doing on Google

play22:47

and how is the performance on Google I

play22:49

see is also like only solar I I'm aware

play22:51

of that I'm check like the Google ads

play22:53

you guys doing

play22:56

primarily yeah it has it

play22:59

yeah because because we've sort of

play23:01

slowed down on the heat pump side of

play23:02

things um you know that's something we

play23:04

need to sort of you know that's the um

play23:07

you know the whole Solar Market has

play23:09

slowed down in a domestic sense so you

play23:12

know now looking to um uh exploit the

play23:15

sort of the demand for heat pums so but

play23:18

we we haven't really um our our sales P

play23:22

you know sales the marketing girl that

play23:23

we had um you know we we got rid of her

play23:27

because she was crap um

play23:31

she

play23:32

was she was yeah yeah she was

play23:36

so we haven't really driven any um uh

play23:41

any Google ads or Facebook advertising

play23:43

for for heat pumps yet um you know we

play23:46

are looking to um do something with the

play23:49

eco4 uh and something some more with um

play23:53

you know the the heat pumps um but

play23:56

haven't you know we haven't really s of

play23:58

started that

play23:59

yet yeah yeah uh so what I was trying to

play24:03

say so yeah I also want to mention the

play24:05

fact that how I even in the first place

play24:07

as a marketer just got into this heat

play24:09

pump right you guys must be interested

play24:11

in that uh background as well uh the

play24:14

last conversation I had with a company

play24:15

when I was working within solar industry

play24:19

was the company named RG installations

play24:21

uh the owner's name is also Richard uh

play24:27

and yeah he was basically telling me and

play24:29

it was just we were about to do solar we

play24:31

were about to go into solar but he was

play24:33

never really into it and as he got into

play24:35

conversation with me he he he thought

play24:37

that I would offer him heat pump leads

play24:40

uh heat pump Le heat pump based leads

play24:42

but what he basically said is he also

play24:44

suggest suggests me to do marketing for

play24:46

him in terms of not solar because he he

play24:49

has been in the industry for over 35

play24:51

years according to him and he basically

play24:53

suggested me to step into this industry

play24:55

as well because uh this IND is about to

play24:57

boom and he basically said a lot of

play24:59

things on the call and one of the things

play25:01

that he said was also in the that that

play25:04

their company their heat pump based

play25:06

company uh that the revenue that they

play25:09

generated from heat bomb sales in the

play25:11

last six months was Triple the amount

play25:13

that they've made within their Solar

play25:14

Company in the last year and just heard

play25:17

heard of that heard of that fact and

play25:19

that yeah my eyes just got open opened

play25:22

up and I really asked myself what am I

play25:24

even doing this solar industry it's not

play25:26

really going anywhere but I I tried to

play25:28

work with companies you can see but we

play25:31

got them some amazing results but the

play25:33

reasons were that the people the

play25:36

companies weren't able to uh offer any

play25:39

good uh offers for the homeowners that

play25:42

was one reason and the other reason

play25:43

was

play25:45

yeah they weren't able to close the

play25:47

deals that we generated for them they

play25:48

weren't really good enough the common

play25:50

that we worked with and all all that all

play25:52

this problems were just stemming from

play25:54

One

play25:56

Core uh

play25:59

uh one core problem which is the

play26:01

industry itself is thinking

play26:04

basically because yeah people are are

play26:07

it's expensive expensive to switch to

play26:08

solar and if there's no any incentive

play26:11

like from the government side then yeah

play26:12

it's going to be tough to owners who do

play26:14

not who struggle with money to actually

play26:17

to be able to afford and go ahead with

play26:19

solar panels so so far have you got got

play26:22

any questions like in terms

play26:24

of uh starting

play26:26

this uh how soon going to start with it

play26:29

and or do you want me to lay down the

play26:31

next steps to take yeah if you can send

play26:34

to you know a

play26:35

proposal that that would be the sort of

play26:37

the next sort of um stage for for us to

play26:41

review you know everything um on paper

play26:45

and then we can sort of talk through it

play26:47

we've got a couple of other people that

play26:48

you know obviously we need to discuss

play26:49

that with yeah

play26:52

um so yeah it's you know certainly

play26:55

interesting um

play26:58

and you know it's something we're

play27:00

definitely interested in it's just you

play27:02

know we've got to sort of just talk

play27:04

through the

play27:05

numbers um yeah and you know before we

play27:10

make a decision it's always something

play27:12

that we need to

play27:14

um yeah the team and

play27:17

everything yeah it's far better to just

play27:20

give it a shot than just yeah waiting

play27:22

next time because it's inevitable that

play27:24

you guys are aware that this is

play27:25

something that's really like going

play27:28

uh in on upward

play27:31

Trends yeah so yeah what we're gonna

play27:34

what I'm going to send after this call

play27:35

is just a contract as you said just

play27:37

proposal it's going to include every

play27:39

information that I've just laid out

play27:40

including the guarantees and everything

play27:41

that's reversal because there has to be

play27:43

reversal for you guys to actually step

play27:45

in with me uh

play27:49

and and also yeah once the and also can

play27:52

I sent also

play27:53

the uh the invoice as well together with

play27:57

the contract

play27:59

yeah sounds good yeah should if I just s

play28:02

over and you guys just uh start to like

play28:05

Panic or it's just are we getting

play28:07

started yeah just to just to leave it

play28:08

there and you guys can have your time to

play28:11

review yeah Fantastics good soon is

play28:14

better so we are moving with only like

play28:17

three uh 1 Sales right the number is 1

play28:21

but first want to see what it looks like

play28:23

that's that's also a good number I see a

play28:25

lot of companies spend upwards of 30k

play28:28

per months but they're really good

play28:30

established companies and they've been

play28:31

doing it because once you see that the

play28:33

what we are doing is proven to work then

play28:35

you guys can go ahead and spend big

play28:37

numbers because you see you know for a

play28:38

fact that you're going to get the return

play28:40

investment and we're going try to do

play28:42

same thing as well but the first one you

play28:43

guys see the result of what it looks

play28:44

like to work with us and then yeah from

play28:46

the next mon we must go heavily on that

play28:48

because it's a high ticket uh thing that

play28:51

you guys are selling in terms of like

play28:54

the cost for acquisition and then the

play28:56

actual amount that it costs for

play28:58

customers like the the ratio is high so

play29:00

it needs we need to invest a lot in

play29:03

marketing but to begin with for the

play29:04

first month yes it's a good way to start

play29:06

it's a good number to start

play29:08

basically so far have you guys got any

play29:10

questions I can just end here because it

play29:12

was about 30

play29:13

minutes no no we're

play29:16

good yeah are good then I'm just gonna

play29:20

you are the owner of comp like Mr Julian

play29:21

play29:25

government. yeah nice to meet you guys
