We thought about postponing this webinar until fall, but we understand from the presenter that their company has had calls regarding auctions and RFP’s since Covid-19.
Listeners will learn about best practices of the RFP participation, what questions to ask and what to look out for. There will be some examples of RFPs conducted in Energy, and a guide of how to conduct an RFP. We will discuss some examples of auctions in Energy, how they are different from RFPs and how to participate in an auction.
This is the first webinar we have done on this topic. We would appreciate your feedback after the webinar.

About the presentation:
The transition to remote working happened overnight for the retail propane and energy industry. Like so many others out there, processes, procedures and technology were having to get figured out on the fly. Just as you have settled into a routine of the “new normal” the time is coming to get back to the office.
Transitioning back to a new normal will not be as easy as it sounds. Employees working from home, altered work arrangements for service techs and changed customer interactions are just a few of the things that changed overnight. All will have an impact on employee morale, workplace culture and may cause your branch to innovate and change in order to remain competitive.
As owners and managers look to transition their teams from remote work back “what it used to be”, join this session to learn tools to help you:
Attend this session and walk away more prepared to lead through transition into a new normal!!

Everyone has greatness within them. Often we don’t have or get a spark for that passion.

Last January, the Spohn’s presented a webinar for us, Residential Energy Efficiency – Putting Theories into Practice. Since that time, they have completed the construction of their home and have moved in.
During this conversation with Bill and Marilyn, we will learn what went into their journey and just some of the highlights of what has lead them to their dream home.
You may recall, that after 30 years of learning, teaching and advising on how to make measurements for great HVAC and building performance, Marilyn and Bill put their money into building a new home in the Pittsburgh, PA area. Learn about their journey and the hundreds of decisions and tens of frustrations they encountered as they built their “forever home” with concepts “stolen from the future”.

Clean energy is also a priority of the new Biden administration, and just about every plan out there is looking to electrify home heating! Oilheat and Bioheat® fuel providers need to make consumers and legislators alike aware of Bioheat® fuel’s immediate carbon reductions and its readily accessible, low-cost path to a net-zero future. PriMedia will show you how to cost-effectively promote Bioheat® fuel and your company through social media and search engine marketing campaigns as well as traditional advertising strategies.
