Facts: Deregulated energy markets are getting more competitive. There are thousands of brokers in the US. Differentiation is becoming increasingly difficult. End-use customers continue to become more educated.Knowing and excelling at what makes an energy brokerage firm great is more important now than ever before. Enerex is dedicated to helping our brokers stand out. So, we conducted a survey of our current sparkplug customers to better understand:

How much does sparkplug help brokerage firms stand out in these three areas?
When asked from a scale of 1-7, how much sparkplug helped in each area, the above % chose 6 or 7. Through our proposal management generation tool, activity and pipeline management, contract management, renewal notifications and several other tools, we aim to improve each end-use customer interaction our brokers have.
Another popular indicator of customer satisfaction is Net Promoter Score. If you are not measuring this for your business – here is a quick tutorial. According to npsbenchmark.com, IT companies average a +58 NPS. When asked the question, “how likely are you to recommend sparkplug to your friends and colleagues”, sparkplug customers gave us an NPS of 80 (out of a possible 100) with no detractors!
Cost is of utmost importance to end-use customers, so it’s important to brokers too! We asked our customers about sparkplug’s price versus value. Surprisingly, (56%) of our clients believe that sparkplug is priced exactly according to their expectations, and (44%) believed that sparkplug’s worth more than what they are paying today.
