create an instant win-win-win-win-win-win for your association

Context for Limitless Success. Most every Association in the U.S. has part of their mission the ability to enhance and expand the business opportunities for their members. The Associations that are successful in providing unique opportunities (that their members would NOT most likely secure on their own), will be more successful in servicing and growing their member base. Associations are all about bringing value to the table. And our pg.associations opportunity achieves just that. Our current economic turmoil represents the perfect time for Associations to introduce a prosperous new idea to their Members that could literally change the complexion of both the Association and its membership - while making all of them more fiscally sound. Companies across America are seeking new ways to grow their businesses. Entrepreneurism is on the rise, yet fear and a lack of access to capital are impediments to progress. Concurrently, the paradigm of business in America is shifting from a “competition-based” to a “collaboration-based” model - meaning, companies are banding together, fueling each other’s businesses and growth. In essence, this turmoil is changing our perspective - transitioning us from a “narrowminded, control-based approach” to an “open-minded, collaboration-based approach.” This turmoil is also challenging us to look at life in new ways, realizing that there are many solutions to a particular problem, and not just one. Thinking and acting outside of the box opens our minds to an expanded perspective of limitless success. Progressive thinking, leading and action will dig America out of the mess we are in. Remaining stuck in old-paradigm ways simply prolongs the agony. It’s time for change... With companies seeking answers and being open to new ideas, princetongreen.org whole heartedly believes our approach to the banding together of independent entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial companies is a viable means for them to seriously consider. Collectively, our strength and capabilities, as it relates to the energy sector, surpasses that of any one corporation in the world. We’ve responded to this corporate curiosity and the economic turmoil, in part, through developing the pg.associations opportunity - which is an opportunity that enables all to win: * The Members of the Association win; * The Association itself wins; * The Members’ Clients win; * princetongreen.org wins; * America wins; * And best of all, Nature wins.

“ferdie” Reaching your sustainability goals together.

shades of green network

the green economy network

Creating an instant win-win-win-win-win-win. Members win.

The Members of the Association are offered an opportunity to get involved with princetongreen.org based on their right fit. A Member can possibly become an Energy Advisor, Dealer, Installer, Green Advocate, or Key Alliance. If a Member wants to become active in sales, then becoming an Energy Advisor or Dealer may be a good fit for them. An Energy Advisor becomes directly involved with princetongreen.org by representing our organization in the marketplace. Whereas a Dealer aligns with us by “plugging in” our solutions portfolio of green services and technologies, thus instant access to technologies, companies and people that have been researched and vetted. Our portfolio of solutions and the professionalism and expertise of our network equates to a very powerful combination. Members may also be able to be Installers for the technologies we sell; and/or Green Advocates which earn commissions for opening doors of opportunity; and/or Key Alliances whereby princetongreen.org becomes an extension of the Member company’s sale force. There are fees for being an Energy Advisor or Dealer (as defined below), but not for being an Installer, Green Advocate or Key Alliance. Members have the complete latitude to decide how they may best fit into princetongreen.org.

Associations win.

The Association simply offer the opportunity to align with princetongreen.org to their Members. As more Members get involved, the Association generates multiple revenue channels for itself and its Members. * When Members join as Energy Advisors, they become part of the Association’s sales team. When Members sell, the Association earns commissions. * When Members join as Dealers, the Association is the “Registered Energy Advisor” for the Dealer, thereby earning revenue on Dealer overrides generated. * When Members join as Installers, the Association earns a commission anytime the Member installs a project for princetongreen.org. * When Members join as Green Advocates, any referrals generated go directly to the Association so the association can direct the referrals to the appropriate Energy Advisor(s) on their team. * When Members join as Key Alliances, the Association earns a commission anytime the Members’ offerings are sold by princetongreen.org. The beauty of this model is that it’s self-perpetuating - meaning, whereby the Association is supporting their Members, and their Members are supporting the Association.

Members’ Clients win.

When Members become an Energy Advisors or Dealer, their clients benefit. Too many Americans are simply uneducated about environmental concerns, including energy efficiency. Concurrently, the environmental industry is evolving, yet in a fragmented manner. princetongreen.org is at the inception of being the primary centralized resource for energy efficiency research, education and solutions. Applying research and education to integrate effective power management solutions is where we expend our energy. Leveraging patented technology and brilliant minds, we bring innovation to the marketplace. We help our commercial clients deploy innovative technologies in the areas of building automation, HVAC efficiency, refrigeration efficiency, water monitoring, solar energy, and wind power.

princetongreen.org wins.

There’s a determination within princetongreen.org to become the brand representing the green economy. Since we are a nimble organization which provides (outsourced) sales and marketing efforts for the best green technologies, services and companies, all we need to do is to continue to align with the best, and we will own the market. Our vision is focused on representing the underdog, not the major corporations. Many small-to-medium sized entrepreneurial companies lack sales bandwidth, and we happily help them fill this void. Therefore, by aligning with Associations that are part of the building trades, green space, and environment, then we quickly align with the right people with the expertise in a given market sector.

America wins.

princetongreen.org is fostering grassroots entrepreneurism to build a strong America. The Obama Administration has gone to extreme lengths to stimulate the evolution of the green economy. The mindset of America shifting to seeking a new type of life - one that is based on elements of trust, security and balance. People are seeking innovative opportunities to work collaboratively, creatively and transparently with clients and colleagues. People are realizing that the pathway to building security is through an opportunity based on self-reliance, with their income being a direct reflection of their own level of performance. The American dream of owning your own business is coming back to life. And, the banding together of entrepreneurs will dramatically help us dig ourselves out of the economic mess we’re experiencing.

Nature wins.

We’ve done more damage to Mother Earth in the past 200 years than any other time in her 4.54 billion year evolution. As we reduce our dependencies on fossil fuels, while embracing energy conservation and renewable energy generation, nature will benefit. And since we are nature, everyone wins.

Members Joining Our Solutions Network. Becoming an Energy Advisor.

All you need to do is "plug in and sell."

Our business model is based on entrepreneurs working collaboratively in helping each other succeed, while carrying out our vision and mission. Our culture is based on trust, integrity and transparency. We provide everyone the same opportunity to build their own green business within our business, making this an equal opportunity. Everyone has the ability to build their own team, enabling them to be compensated on their own individual performance, as well as their team performance. There are no glass ceilings, and therefore, limitless success defines our organization. Advancement within the organization is based purely on sales performance; not subjective human-based performance criteria. princetongreen.org provides the framework for the right type of person to build his or her own successful business within the princetongreen community.

* an established brand * a world class website * expansive solutions portfolio * a dynamic back office * electronic sales materials * on-going marketing efforts * ability to build your team * product research * product sourcing * product/service/sales training * progressive solutions network * supportive services (accounting, distribution, coaching) * and a seamless on-boarding process to help you get quickly ramped up.

Our infrastructure provides you with a comprehensive virtual operational platform to successfully manage your own business, community and team. In all, you can quickly ramp up your own green business for a fraction of the cost of doing it on your own. And, most importantly, you become part of an interconnected community of like-minded entrepreneurs.

princetongreen.org provides you the opportunity to create prosperity and balance in your life. This is not a quick rich scheme. Rather, dedication, perseverance and courage are required. We created the framework. The rest is up to you. Associated Fees: $390 for initial on-boarding resources; $100/month maintenance fee

Becoming a Dealer.

Dealers are existing energy-related companies that want to directly offer certain technologies within the princetongreen.org solutions portfolio to their own client base. We work very hard researching and vetting great technologies, great services and great companies. Benefit by our legwork by simply "plugging in and selling." We become your back office support for green service and technologies, enabling you to remain focused on securing sales opportunities. Becoming a Dealer is by invitation only, as sponsorship by an Energy Advisor is required. By being a Dealer, you immediately expand your business through offering to your clients a host of vetted energy-related solutions, including: * Comprehensive Bill Auditing: Electric/Gas/Water/Sewer/Telecom/IT/Wireless * Building Audits: Federal EPACT, Cost Segregation, and Energy Efficiency * Energy Procurement

* Commercial Refrigeration Efficiency Technologies

* Building Automation: Commercial Properties and Hotels * Water Monitoring via our Evaporation Credit Service * Solar Power * Wind Power

The question that's often raised is "why would I go through princetongreen.org when I may be able to go direct to the manufacturer?" The answer is simple: because you get exactly the same dealer agreement and discounts either way, but with princetongreen.org you'll get comprehensive product and sales training, access to electronic sales e.brochures and videos, as well as ongoing sales support. In addition, we will continue to research and vet new solutions for our Dealers to sell. Your Dealer relationship is comprised of two relationships - a direct relationship with the manufacturer for technical support, and a direct relationship with princetongreen.org for sales support. All of us work collaboratively to bring forth viable solutions to the marketplace. Everyone wins, including your clients.

You can private label us, position us as a strategic alliance, or have us represented as "the princetongreen line of energy solutions." Proper position is critical, and it's your decision how we best fit into your business. Associated Fees: $50/month maintenance fee

Members Joining Our Solutions Network. Becoming an Installer.

Installers are the companies with the expertise that physically install the technologies we directly sell. princetongreen.org is building a national installation base to ensure we can install our technologies anywhere in the U.S. Currently, we have enough coverage to install anywhere in the country with the understanding that travel is involved. Therefore, we need depth, and we need depth from installation companies that are customer-focused, accommodating, professional, and know what to do. We protect the princetongreen.org brand image by attempting to solidify relationships with only the best companies in the respective markets. Our intention is not to align with every company. Rather, only the best. We need installers for the following technologies: * Building Automation Systems: Water Monitoring & Wireless Energy Management * Commercial Refrigeration Efficiency * Residential Solar in Select States We are seeking electricians, plumbers, refrigeration companies and solar companies to help expand our depth throughout the U.S. Associated Fees: None.

Becoming a Green Advocate.

A Green Advocate is an individual or company that provides a princetongreen.org Energy Advisor sales opportunities without being directly involved in the sales. In exchange, the Advocate is tied into the commission structure when the Energy Advisor closes the deal. In all, highly-connected Advocates can earn significant dollars with very little effort. Our Green Advocate program enables greater interconnectivity of our solutions network, reaching new clients to whom we would not otherwise have gained access. The Advocate Agreement details the understanding of our relationship, and all Advocates receive a Form 1099 for tax reporting purposes. Green Advocates can play varying roles from opportunity to opportunity. In one instance, they may simply open a door for princetongreen.org to enter; whereas in another they may open the door while remaining active in supporting the Energy Advisor in closing the deal. An Advocate’s level of involvement in the pursuit and participation in commissions is determined in advance, thus maintaining the transparency and integrity of the program and our community. Associated Fees: None.

Becoming a Key Alliance.

Key Alliances are vetted companies in our solutions network that our Energy Advisors are able to recommend to our clients for products and/or services we don't directly represent. We take a consultative sales approach, thus offering holistic solutions for our clients. Therefore, we need to have reputable companies to bring forth ideas, resources, products, services and expertise that we do not, and will not, have on our own. Key Alliances include: * Lighting companies * Green Builders & Contractors * Geothermal companies * Innovative Technology companies * Environmental Consulting companies * LEED Architects, Designers & Engineering companies Associated Fees: None.

Nimbleness of Our Model. Companies and individuals can align themselves within our solutions network in numerous ways based on the combination that makes the most sense. For example (but not limited to), 1. A company can be a Dealer of a technology to offer to their client base, while being an installer for princetongreen.org client projects. 2. A company can be a Key Alliance so that princetongreen.org Energy Advisors refer them business, while being a Dealer of a technology to offer to their client base, as well as being an Installer for princetongreen.org client projects. 3. A Green Partner and/or a Key Alliance can turn to their customer base to offer the “princetongreen line of energy conservation and energy generation.” In this instance, the Green Partner/Key Alliance would also be a princetongreen.org Energy Advisor or Dealer. 4. A Dealer can represent a certain princetongreen.org technology, while being a Green Partner or Key Alliance offering their product or service to have princetongreen.org Energy Advisors promote and sell. The bottom line is that we are nimble. We listen to the market to understand its problems. We brainstorm about the solutions to the problems. We discover innovative ways to resolve these problems. We build the network to execute the integration of our solutions. We are busy creating meaningful change.

An Overview of Our Organization. princetongreen.org’s business model is based on entrepreneurs working collaboratively in helping each other succeed, while carrying out our vision and mission. Our culture is based on trust, integrity and transparency. We provide everyone the same opportunity to build or expand their own business within our business, making this an equal opportunity. In addition, our Energy Advisors have the ability to build their own team and recruit dealers, enabling them to be compensated on their own individual performance, as well as their team and dealer network performance. There are no glass ceilings, so unlimited income potential is just that. And, advancement within the organization is based purely on sales performance - not subjective, human-based performance evaluations. princetongreen.org has been working since 2008 building a strong foundation, and a highly progressive business model. We are a hybrid of the best practices from several successful businesses. We've built the infrastructure for success so those that align with us don't have to. Our infrastructure includes a world-class website, an established brand, electronic sales materials, proposal templates, contracts, a vetted solutions portfolio, training, coaching, sales support, accounting, legal, and distribution. All one needs to do is "plug in and sell." In all, the right person can quickly ramp up or expand their own green business for a fraction of the cost if they attempted to do it on their own. And, most importantly, they become part of an interconnected community of like-minded entrepreneurs that are aligned with their aspirations of creating something from nothing - affordably, efficiently and supportively. princetongreen.org provides the ability to create security and balance in life. Although, this is not a quick rich scheme. Rather, dedication, perseverance and courage are required. We provide our folks the right resources to succeed. The rest is up to them.

Our business model is focused on driving sales performance to create meaningful change in the world.

Our Inner Workings. princetongreen.org is a client-centric organization - meaning, the leadership is solely focused on providing our Energy Advisors and Dealers with the right resources to help clients succeed. Core leadership is focused organizational resources regarding selection, culture, sales, and community. Product Manager leadership is focused on supporting our Energy Advisors in sales pursuits and client management, as well as supporting the Energy Advisors with their support of the Dealer Network. The cascading design of our organization naturally breeds and organizational culture that self-manages. Everyone is compensated purely on performance, so our collective strength fuels our success. In essence, collaboration is key.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our progressive business model instantly enables people and companies to bring forth viable green services and technologies to their existing network of people (customers) they already know.â&#x20AC;? Peter van Geldern, co-founder princetongreen.org

The framework through which we operate. The pg.approach is a non-linear framework through which an integrated approach can be customized to meet our clients’ sustainability goals. The framework is nonlinear because the various aspects of our approach can follow a pathway based on our clients’ specific needs. Some clients may leverage only one aspect of the framework, whereas others may embrace the integrated approach from start to finish. The framework can also be deployed in a series of phases, allowing positive outcomes to occur in one phase before moving onto another. In all, the pg.approach is designed with our clients’ needs in mind.

We Educate Decision Makers. Lease purchasing, bank financing, federal tax incentives, state/utility rebates, and energy cost reductions help provide the means to integrate energy-saving solutions.

We Audit Your Bills. We assess your building(s) to understand the current level of energy efficiency. In addition, we audit your past energy-related retrofits to determine whether they qualify for Section 179D incentives currently being offered through the 2005 Energy Policy Act (EPACT).

We Audit Your Building(s).

We employ systematic account review, audit, and analysis of your electric, gas, water, sewer, phone, IT, and wireless bills. We also provide energy procurement.
