11 Reasons to Use a Utility Management Company
The energy supply industry is complex. It takes time, knowhow and experience to be across all of its wrinkles. That’s why many companies trust energy brokers with their utility management. Brokers have knowledge and experience of the energy sector that business owners may lack.
Unfortunately, many of those brokers don’t bring all of their expertise to bear. Often, they only procure contracts for clients. There is far more to utility management than that. At Clifford Talbot Partnership we offer a truly comprehensive service. One which can save money, time and stress. The following are 11 reasons of many why that’s the kind of utility management service that you need.
Expert Knowledge
It’s our business and our responsibility to be across all the intricate details of the energy sector. We keep up with changes in legislation and other events that might impact your utilities decisions. That means you don’t have to be an expert in the energy industry to ensure you always get the best deal.
Informed Negotiation
Negotiating the best deal for your utilities can be tricky. If you don’t know how negotiations work or what other options suppliers could be offering, you’ll struggle to get the right contract. We’re highly experienced in such negotiations and are devoted only to getting you the best deal. We’ll bring you the options that fit your needs and help you make the right choice.
Keeping Suppliers Honest
We work with all kinds of clients, across many niches. That helps us to understand exactly what you need and how you should pay for it. We also know exactly how suppliers operate and what contract’s they’re able to offer. That lets us keep suppliers honest and their offers competitive.
Wholly Holistic
Working with us ensures that all of your utility management needs are met. We cover every base and help to save you time and money throughout the process. That doesn’t just mean choosing suppliers or negotiating contracts. We also deal with those little inconveniences that can crop up. From reporting issues to your supplier to checking invoices, it’s all a part of our Utility Bureau Service.
Personal Touch
Every one of our clients’ energy accounts are overseen by a dedicated account manager. Their job is to know your energy needs inside out and to help you make the right utilities decisions. They will work tirelessly to keep your utilities under control. They’re also always at the other end of the phone if you need to discuss anything.
Supplier Relationships
We have experience of working with all of the major energy suppliers. We know which suppliers are best for which business sectors and how’s best to buy from each supplier. That gives us a strong base from which to negotiate from. We don’t, however, have any affiliation with or preference for any specific supplier.
Longevity
We’ve been working in the utilities industry for 35 years. That’s three and a half decades of invaluable experience. It all goes into every contract negotiation we take on and every decision we make. Plus, to have lasted this long, we must be doing something right!
Portfolio Management
Lots of clients we work with have multiple sites, often spread across the country. We can expertly manage your whole utilities portfolio. That might mean arranging group purchases. It may mean responding to unforeseen circumstances quickly and efficiently. We’re also well versed in managing any expansion of your portfolio.
Flexibility
We don’t operate a one size fits all policy. Our utility management service is always tailored specifically to each client. That’s the only way that we can ensure that you get the very best deal. We always help you procure the contract that works best for you.
Supplier Goodwill
Suppliers like working with us. They appreciate the benefit of the experience and knowhow we bring to the table. Our input helps to make the utility procurement process easier for everyone.
Transparent Charging
Many energy brokers make it difficult to know how and how much they’re charging. We’ve always believed that transparency is a better policy. Whether you work with us on a commission basis or via fixed fees, you’ll always know exactly how much you’re paying.
