TRAINING ACADEMY
A regular programme of digital training sessions, delivered each week by a director or senior manager

improvement

Best.Energy related enquiries. Service Managers focus on the following areas, delivering the support
elements either themselves or via the wider Best.Energy team:
• Rapid response to support requests and support escalation when required (including phone
support)
• Assisting with client presentations (via web only)
• Generating quotes and processing orders
• On-boarding new partner employees
The Partner Portal acts as a 24/7-support resource with the very latest information on Best.Energy

are typically above and beyond the Core Establishment Pack and may attract an additional cost.
MEDIA PACK
The Best.Energy Media Pack contains an approved collection of images and logos for use on a
partner’s website and other digital materials. It also contains the print files for some elements of the

prospect through each stage of the sales process.
Client opportunities are submitted via the Partner Portal for approval and your Regional Sales manager
is automatically notified. If the Regional Sales Manager approves the opportunity it will be inserted into
Best.Energy’s sales CRM (currently FreshSales) for active monitoring.

Best Energy Ltd - Standard Terms & Conditions of Appointment - v1.7 - Created 06th October 2021
This program ensures that partners operating in the same territory do not target the same prospective
clients and have Best.Energy’s full support with all their registered opportunities.
All partners are permitted to create co-branded versions of Best.Energy’s core marketing materials. This
can be achieved either by requesting the artwork files from the Best.Energy Marketing Department (a
short release document is needed) and handling the design changes locally, or by taking advantage of
our own service to do the same. If you are handling this locally, any amended documents must be
approved by the Marketing Director before being used.
The Marketing Department offers services for both co-branding (maintaining the templated Best.Energy
style and colours) and full rebranding (overhauling the colours, fonts, style and brand identity into the
partner’s own brand). Pricing and availability available on request.
INCENTIVISATION INITIATIVES
USD $45,000 worth of Eniscope Hardware, Software & Accessories at retail. This means Best.Energy
will provide you with enough Eniscopes, CTs and SaaS - in any combination you choose - to complete a
further USD $45,000 worth of installations (including software & hardware) following the completion of
your first five client sales; subject to the following conditions:
● Each sale must be to a prospect notified to the Company and must be approved in writing by
the Best.Energy Business Development Team. Each sale must be to a different entity - ie. not
the same client.
● Once the equipment has been installed, an installation certificate must be sent to Best.Energy
along with a signed statement from the customer on their own letter headed paper confirming
that the installation has taken place. This letter must also include a testimonial from the client
expressing a positive attitude towards the sale.
○ Once we have received this documentation from five of your separate customers,
Best.Energy will give you immediate access to an additional USD $45,000 product
value at the Manufacturer’s Recommended Selling Price (MRSP).
The USD $45,000 worth of equipment is available for up to 6 months following your approval and
training as a Partner. All five sets of documentation described under point 2 above must be received by
Best.Energy during this six month period.
At the point when the Licensee has purchased $150,000 in orders for products via BOS, the
Best.Energy Online Store, at standard Licensee prices (does not include special offer purchases and
third-party products), and within the first 12 months (commencing from the date of appointment), the
Company will immediately credit the Licensee's Best.Energy account with $45,000.
