We are pleased to announce that Comfort Supply has partnered with the Electric
& Gas Industries Association (EGIA) to offer new financing and a contractor
benefit program for our customers. We will be EGIA’s first Energy Partner group member in Tennessee.
By providing
EGIA membership and benefits for our customers, we can offer contractors one of
the hottest financing packages out there. EGIA’s GEOSmart Financing
Clearinghouse takes the hassle out of financing and helps our customers get the
advice that they need in one convenient location. Coupled with the kickoff of
our contractor benefit program, we’re truly excited about the growth
opportunities this partnership opens up for our dealers.
EGIA is a nationwide
nonprofit organization with over 15,000 independent members and affiliated
companies. Through its Energy Partners program with manufacturers,
distributors, utilities and government, EGIA provides member contractors the
tools, training and networking to accelerate their business growth and
profitability. EGIA also supports utilities and government in achieving their
goals related to the development of sustainable markets for energy efficiency
and renewable energy products and services.
Dealers who
enroll in EGIA will have access to the Financing Clearinghouse and GEOSmart
consumer financing. This provides a wide selection of consumer
financing packages, including no payment, no interest programs, government
backed loans and financing for credit challenged customers.
EGIA membership
also includes access to the Leadership Academy, a monthly seminar series taught
by industry experts. Seminar topics include sales, marketing and operations best
practices for contractors, for example:
- Diversify
or die: Strategies to diversify and grow your business
- Is
your price right? Exploring pricing strategies
- Repositioning
your business as a whole house specialist
As an added
bonus for dealers, Comfort Supply will cover customers’ $250 EGIA membership
fees until December 2013.
