Convince Clients to Install Remote Meter Reading Software
One of the biggest challenges a dealer faces when it comes to remote meter reading tools is actually getting clients to let the data collection software be installed on their network. Some clients simply don't know about the service. Other clients get push back from their IT departments.
You want to implement remote meter readings for two reasons. First, it streamlines the meter collection process, reducing your overhead expense structure so you can compete with managed print services companies. Second, this is the ultimate opportunity generator: once installed, you can learn about all of the non-managed assets at the client's location.
To help raise awareness and reduce IT friction, we have developed a microsite for Kearns to use as a sales tool. You can see it at www.remotefleet.com. The microsite highlights the hassle of manual meter collection, presents a better way and incents the client to sign up.
Here is what Ken Stewart at Kearns had to say about the new strategy:
Everyone, I am pleased to announce the launch of our new micro-site, http://www.remotefleet.com, a website dedicated to answering questions about RemoteFleet, our meter gathering tool.
Darrell Amy and his team over at Dealer Marketing Systems has helped us in creating this new website which addresses commonly asked questions and concerns that our decision makers and IT contacts can review to answer their questions.
We are presently monitoring over 8000 devices, and our existing customers can quickly and easily become part of this success and save themselves the hassle of collecting meter reads themselves. By signing up, new installations will receive a complimentary $10 iTunes or Starbucks Coffee gift card!
How exciting is this! Please take some time this week to review with your current customers or as a value-added benefit of becoming a customer with Team Kearns. And remember to sign-up go to http://www.remotefleet.com .
