It began in March the night of the Pocono Mountain School Board meeting when they proposed reducing the number of math teachers by 43 in our district. After working there for 11 years, I didn't think I would have to worry about being furloughed, but with that high of numbers I was close. So, what did I do? When the meeting was over the first person I called was my brother, a math teacher in another school district, to see if there were any openings in his district. My next phone call was to my friend, a new Principal in a different district, to see if he was hiring. The next day Brandy called and said she had an opportunity for Andy and I to make money in case we were going to be furloughed. I didn't really listen yet, because I didn't want to spend money, but I wish I listened more.
Along comes the April electric bill and I realized that the bill was getting larger each month compared to the same month the previous year even though we were using the same or less kilowatts. I didn't know how this was possible, but I knew that I needed to look into it and I decided to listen to Brandy about that energy "thing" she was talking about.
She didn't have to do much convincing of me to switch to Ambit Energy because their 6.8 cents KWH rate was a million times better than what we were paying to Energy Plus at 13.9 cents KWH. Then she described how we could make money by becoming consultants and possibly wipe out our electric bill. So, I was ready to listen.
Congrats, Kristen on becoming an Ambit Consultant and doin so well. I believe we all have to have a light bulb moment(Pun intented), before opening up our eyes.
ReplyDeleteThe friend that introduced me to Ambit was customer. She and I had done other business together. She is still a customer and I have been promoted to Regional Consultant.
Much success, I hope you will be attending Ambition 2012. I will diffently be their with team members. Jose
