Last of 'big six' energy firms finally raises prices after freezing bills - Daly Mail 20th March 2008

Energy price hike: Scottish & Southern

Scottish & Southern Energy today became the last of the UK's six main suppliers to increase fuel bills as it hit customers with double-digit price hikes.

The group confirmed it would raise tariffs by an average of 14.2 per cent for electricity and 15.8 per cent for gas from April 1.

Scottish & Southern - which has 8.5 million customers - said the move came as it has faced 'stubbornly high' wholesale energy costs.

Households have been hit by a swathe of energy price increases this year as suppliers seek to pass on the wholesale rises.

In January, Npower became the first of the "big six" to hike costs, and was soon followed by EDF and British Gas, which announced tariff rises in the same month.

Scottish & Southern had pledged to freeze its energy prices until the end of March, but said today that it was forced into the decision as wholesale electricity costs have soared 90 per cent and gas by 100 per cent since March last year.

Alistair Phillips-Davies, energy supply director of Scottish & Southern, told the group's customers that he was "sorry". He said: "Energy supply in the UK is changing dramatically, with companies having to operate in volatile markets, which reflect depletion of North Sea oil and gas fields, soaring global demand for all types of energy and over 100 US dollars a barrel for oil.
"These pressures are compounded by the rising transmission, distribution and environmental costs, which suppliers have to meet.
"You cannot resist indefinitely the impact of these issues and I am sorry that all of this has culminated in the price rises we are announcing today."

Scottish & Southern's increases will see dual fuel standard tariffs rise to £1,006 a year.
The news came as the industry is also facing an investigation by regulator Ofgem, which last month announced an inquiry into the UK's gas and electricity markets.

The industry has come under heavy fire for increasing prices after raking in huge profits.
In the year to March 2007, Scottish & Southern made adjusted pre-tax profits of £1.08 billion, 24 per cent up on the previous year.

But the group said it would stick by its promise to be "the last, or one of the last" of the major suppliers to increase prices and the "first, or one of the first" to cut bills.

It also published a code of practice for helping vulnerable customers in line with Government policy to help ease the burden on those in "fuel poverty".

The Chancellor announced plans in last week's Budget to curb fuel poverty by insisting energy companies triple spending on social tariffs and change the treatment of the five million customers using pre-payment meters.

Hints and Tips - Ian Macowat - 27.02.08

Firstly I must say congratulations to all of the people that have left great tasks on the voicemail through February. It has helped my business build with two new distributors, new customer, three people looking at the opportunity via my website and two people have the DVD that I need to speak with.

Texts - today I'd like you to look through the Yellow Pages and send text messages to two Interior Designers.

DVDs - two DVDs today to hairdressers, particularly those that travel around and visit people in their homes.

Petrol Garages - see your local petrol garage owner and ask if you can place some Independence newspapers in the empty plastic newspaper bins outside the store. If allowed, place a sticker on the front of the bin stating 'Free Newspaper'.

Emails - As said before, send an email to two mortgage brokers asking if you can send them some information regarding a business opportunity which bolts on to their business.

Business Cards - This is a 'given' - everyone you meet.

Local High Street - Pop into an estate agents and ask to see the boss. Do a 'Martini' presentation there and then. They're feeling the pinch at the moment and we can help them.

Have a great week.

Best wishes,

Ian



Many thanks to Ian for these hints and tips.

Hints and Tips - Duncan MacKenzie - 25.02.08

Hints and Tips - from Duncan MacKenzie - 25.02.08

Many thanks to Sarah Riley as due to her ideas we have been able to sign up a pub as a business customer and one of our existing customers (estate /letting agent) has now joined the team as an independent distributor.

DVDs - It has been said before in recent days that Independent Financial Advisors and Mortgage Brokers are feeling the crunch and looking for a second income. Make contact with two and ask if they weill watch the video on your website, or send them a DVD and remember to follow up after a day or so.

Independence Newspapers - Drop two off at tanning studios, leave a card and DVD for the owner, due to the amount of electricity they use - a perfect customer! Ask if you can leave some Independence newspapers in the waiting area for people to read.

Text Messages - Why not try washing machine repairers? They are in people's homes every day. Send a text and invite them to try the business opportunity. Also 'ironing services' - they use lots of electricity and visit numerous customers on a weekly basis. They have any customers that know, like and trust them.

Email - Who else visit people's homes - why not email 'pet services' - dog walkers, cat sitting services, dog groomers, kennels, boarding facilities etc.... they all have lots of customers that use their services on a regular basis.

Business Cards - this should now be automatic to you - remember the three foot rule...... anyone who is within three feet of you gets a business card from you. Give them to anyone and everyone. "Be a snail, leave a trail".

As per Sarah's message a few days ago, 'Wear your badge with pride' ... get some badges from the marketing department and they will encourage people to ask you what it's all about.

Have a brilliant week, Duncan.


Many thanks to Duncan for these great tips.
