California, Here We Come!

At Ambition 2012, the final announcement was that Ambit Energy will be starting natural gas service in the Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) area starting September 20th, 2012!

 

PG&E services Northern and Central California covering over 70,000 square miles. Their service area stretches from Eureka in the north to Bakersfield in the south, and from the Pacific Ocean in the west to the Sierra Nevada in the east. There are 4.3 million gas customers in this area. 

For future reference:

There are also 5.1 million electric customers in this area!

Ambition 2012

Every year Ambit Energy hosts a national conference to recognize and celebrate the achievements of the company and the independent consultants. Each year the conference exceeds the best expectations of everyone. Ambition 2012 just finished in Dallas, Texas and it was no exception. This was the best Ambition yet!

There were so many wonderful stories of how this opportunity has changed lives for the better. The best of the best were rewarded with crystal trophies and recognition in front of their peers. More people were added to the Ambit Energy Millionaire Club and three consultants were inducted into the new 5 Million Club!

The entertainment was outstanding, from the corporate vs. consultants softball game to the John Mellencamp concert, to the Drum Cafe West performers. 

The training was divided up by level and was customized to provide exactly what consultants at that level needed to know and do. The guest trainers were top notch. 

The giveaways were awesome! $10,000 checks...a customized 2013 Harley-Davidson Fatboy...and a customized 2013 Cadillac CTS!

Then came the announcements—the opportunity for more Ambition attendees to earn free energy, the bonus multipliers, the upgraded compensation plan, and the market expansion plans!

All of these things together made this absolutely the best Ambition yet! I look forward to seeing how they can top this next year!

One Million Customers by Ambition 2012?

Ambit Energy started sending out independent consultants to gather customers for the company in October of 2006. By the end of the first quarter 2011, they  had over 500,000 customers. Four months later, they passed the 600,000 customer milestone. By the end of 2011, the company passed the 700,000 customer mark, adding more than 250,000 new customers during the year.

At the end of May 2012, the company announced it had added another 155,000 plus customers since the beginning of the year, bringing the total number of active customers to over 850,000. This is an average growth of over 30,000 customers per month.

The company has a goal to achieve over 1,000,000 active customers by the end of 2012. At the rate they have been growing they should pass the one million customer mark in the September to October time frame. However, the customer acquisition rate is actually increasing as more consultants join the business and start gathering new customers. Therefore, it is highly possible that the company will be able to announce during General Session at their annual Ambition conference on September 1st that they have already achieved that goal!

Three-peat

On August 21st, 2012, Inc. Magazine released their annual company rankings. For the third year in a row, Ambit Energy is ranked on the Inc. 5000 List. In 2010, the first year they were eligible to be listed, they ranked #1 as the fastest-growing private company in America. In 2011, they stayed in the Top 500 at #390. In 2012, they are at #1305 based on a 3-year growth rate of 237%. 

Ambit had $663.9 million revenue in 2011, which puts them at #61 by revenue. Only 90 out of the 5000 companies on the list earned $500 million or more in revenue.

There are 103 energy companies on the list. Only 10 of those companies earned over $500 million. Compared to all of them, Ambit ranks #6 by revenue and #43 by 3-year growth rate. 

Ambit ranked #4 in the Dallas metro area and #6 in Texas by revenue.

The Real Power of Ambit Energy

Our air conditioner stopped working a few months ago and had to be replaced. The old unit lasted for 16 years in the south Texas heat. During the months of May 2012 through August 2012, which included the hottest July since weather records started being kept, we used 5,443 kWh of energy. That is 1,117 kWh (17%) less than the 6,560 kWh used in 2011 due to the better efficiency of the new AC unit! 

Our previous electricity provider charged us $1,024.00 during that same time of year. The total charges that I had from Ambit during these four months this year was $563.74. We saved 45% on just the rate difference alone! However, it gets even better than that...

We took advantage of the Customer Referral Program. The program says that if you refer at least 15 new customers to the company, then the company will start averaging those new customers' bills and apply that amount as a credit on your bill every month. Thanks to this program, the credits on our bills reduced the total amount due to less than $10.00 each month during those four months. The combined total amount due from May 2012 to August 2012 was only $36.58! Almost 94% of our bill was covered by the Customer Referral Credit! This also is a total savings of $987.42 over my previous provider. 

In the past, during the months of May through August, I would have paid the equivalent of a mortgage payment, but now I only pay what it costs to buy a couple of plates of BBQ. That is the power of the free energy program! Click here to take a look.

It just keeps getting better though. Customers also earn travel reward points based on their energy usage. From May 2011 through August 2012, we earned enough points to go on a discounted cruise, take a spa/golf getaway, or get two free airline tickets. All for just paying a bill that we already have to pay every month anyway.

When we were first introduced to the company, we recognized that there would be significant savings and other benefits as a customer. Since we like to help people we also knew that we would be telling everyone that we know about how they could save money and earn free travel. Because we were going to be telling them anyway, we decided to join as consultants and then became our own first customer. Consultants are able to earn monetary bonuses, but also get paid a residual income every month based on the energy usage of their customers. The residual income that we earn every month is already significantly higher than what our old energy bills used to be and it keeps growing all the time. This month's residual check was up 60% over a year ago, 244% over two years ago, and 881% higher than it was three years ago.

We have used our Ambit income and savings this year to buy that new AC unit, a new washing machine, a new dishwasher, a new garage door opener, and send my wife to the Philippines for 6 weeks of vacation with plenty of spending money in her pocket, as well as give more to charity! In the first seven months of 2012, we already earned as much from Ambit as we had in all of 2011. Thank you to Jere Thompson, Jr. and Chris Chambless for founding Ambit Energy! Thank God that we live in a time and place that we can take advantage of this opportunity and all of its benefits and that we can share them with and be able to help others.

Ambit Energy Tops 850,000 Customers

Dallas-Based Retail Energy Provider Projects More Than 1 Million Customers by Year’s End

(DALLAS) –Ambit Energy, a leading national retail energy provider based in Dallas, has added more than 155,000 net customers since Jan. 2012 and recently passed the 850,000-active customer milestone. This news immediately follows the company’s recognition as one of the top 100 direct selling companies in the world, placing No. 15 on the Direct Selling News Global 100 list.

“This type of growth validates our approach to the market,” said Chris Chambless, Ambit Energy co-founder and chief marketing officer. “We developed a direct sales model capable of generating massive sales volume, as well as built a technology platform that scales seamlessly to support that channel.”

On target to surpass 1 million customers before the end of this year, Ambit Energy continues to grow exponentially by offering a competitive value in energy-deregulated markets across the country.

Stop Selling and Make More Money!

What comes to your mind when you hear the word "sales"? What about "salesman"?

Most people have a lot of negative images that flood their mind when they hear those words. They think of pushy people with an agenda that will say anything up to and including lying just to get you to give them money for something that you don't really want or need. After you finally give in and purchase from this type of person, you have a bad memory of them and hope you never see them again, and you typically are not happy with what you got. You see it as a waste of money.

There are a lot of people out there that do just that trying to "make the sale." However, those are not the ones that are making the most money and they certainly are not making many friends.

Contrast that with someone that you meet who wants to know about you instead of telling you all about them. Someone who asks questions to find out about what needs, issues, and concerns you have and then proposes a solution to meet those needs, deal with those issues and alleviate those concerns. This is a person that you are glad you met and you are extremely happy with what you got from them. You look forward to doing business with that person again and you may even develop a friendship with them outside of business. You refer your friends and family to them because you know that they can help them too.

Which of these two people will make the most money in the long run? Obviously the one that is making people happy and getting referrals will do much better.

"You make more money solving problems than you do by selling products!" --Bryan Flanagan

If you want to make more money stop thinking about you and start thinking about them. Have a genuine concern for the person you are talking with (not to) and find out their needs. This discovery process is done by asking questions and then listening to the answers. Keep in mind that many people do not even really take the time to think about what they are really looking for. They have gotten into a routine and just go day-by-day. Learning to ask the right questions will help you focus on them and will help them discover what it is they really want.

Once you have that information then you can show them the solution to what they are looking for.

"Creating or expanding business relationships is not about selling – it’s about establishing trust, rapport, and value creation without selling. Call me crazy, but I don’t want to talk to someone who wants to manage my account, develop my business, or engineer my sale. I want to communicate with someone who desires to fulfill my needs or solve my problems." --Mike Myatt

Become a problem-solver then you will find increased success, happiness, and income!

Ambit Energy Rockets Up the Global 100 List

On April 16th, Direct Selling News (DSN) had their awards ceremony recognizing the largest direct-selling companies in the world based on their annual revenue. Ambit Energy was recognized as the 15th largest direct-selling company on the planet based on 2011 revenues of $664 million. This is a 60% increase over the 2010 revenues of $415. 

The preliminary list is now posted on the DSN website. The final list will be published in the June 2012 issue of the magazine. The Top 15 from the list are shown below.

The average age in 2011 of the 14 companies above Ambit Energy on the list is 51 years. Ambit celebrated its 5th year last September.

The average number of countries that the other 14 companies operate in is 43. In 2011, Ambit only did business in one country, the United States, and not even the whole country—only in 6 states (Texas, New York, Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey)! On April 19th, 2012, Ambit will start service in its 7th state, Connecticut. 

This is truly a recession-proof business as evidenced by the fact that since the U.S. economy headed south in late 2007, Ambit has increased its revenues by 1,437%!

How to Be Rich

"I felt that, in our contemporary society far too much emphasis was being placed on getting rich, on amassing wealth. Little if any attention was being paid to the very important question of how to be rich, how to discharge the responsibilities created by wealth even while constructively enjoying the privileges and prerogatives conferred by it.

After all, 'richness' is at least as much a matter of character, of philosophy, outlook and attitude, as it is of money. The 'millionaire mentality' is not—and in this day and age cannot be—merely an accumulative mentality. The able, ambitious man who strives for success must understand that the term 'rich' has infinite shadings of meaning. In order to justify himself and his wealth, he must know how to be rich in virtually every positive sense of the term."

--J. Paul Getty, How to Be Rich 

Ambit Energy provides the service and systems that you can use to get rich. Through their corporate as well as field leadership and the training available, you have what you need to become rich.

Ambition 2012 Concert

It is official! After weeks of riddles and rumors, Ambit Energy has announced that Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, John Mellencamp, will be at Ambition 2012!

Price vs. Value

"Price is what you pay. Value is what you get." --Warren Buffett

Most retail energy providers just sell you electricity or natural gas and therefore price is the only thing to consider. However, Ambit Energy provides much more and brings value to your choice to upgrade to their service. Here are some of the things available to all customers that differentiate Ambit Energy from all the other companies out there:

• 3-day/2-night hotel stay in any of 25 different locations just for enrolling
• Travel Reward Program
• Earn points for every kWh or therm of usage every month
• Accumulate points and trade them in for vacation packages such as cruises, airline tickets, or week-long resort stays
• 2,000 Bonus Points granted on your first bill
• Customer Referral Program
• Free referral website that you can send people to, so they can find out about Ambit Energy and even enroll themselves as customers
• Free Travel: Refer five new customers to Ambit and the company will reward you with your choice of one of the travel packages
• Free Energy: Refer a total of 15 new customers one time to Ambit and the company will take the average of their bills and apply that average as a credit to your bill every month (through this program, my last electricity bill in Texas was only $7.42 and I have received a total of over $4,000 in credits to date)

When you look at everything that Ambit has to offer, there is no better value available to customers. There is also an income opportunity for those that want to earn money by referring others.
