GREEN BUSINESS VIEWS

Posts Tagged ‘green consultant’

Yes, Green is big; and it is certain the next business tidal wave.  The turmoil in the waters is a confusion of purpose and a vacuum of solutions that every astute business person should realize is a latent opportunity.  Of course, stepping into this marketplace is not as easy as inventing the toaster.  The challenge is huge and requires an extraordinary solution.  Just ask yourself, how many businesses want to Go Green?  Or, how many businesses would like to be certified as a Green business?  The answer is that every single business will eventually Go Green, and there is no good solution to fill this need.

This calls for a national and international solution, and there is now one company ready to respond to this amazing market.   An event is planned for January 14 and 15, 2011 that has all the elements of “The Next Big Green Thing.  A select number of elite entrepreneurs will gather in Miami, FL to learn about the opportunity to develop a Green agency that will literally become the center of Green activity in the community.   These proven business entrepreneurs will discover a proven and exciting system that is moving to consolidate this market.

The Green Business League is inviting high-achievers to attend a two day session that will allow Green business chapters to develop in key areas across the United States.  Two highly successful chapters already were established in the pilot project, and two intentional centers were set up in Lima, Peru and Durban, South Africa.

This is the firm that provided the Green certification for the Gerald R Ford Presidential Library.  The Green Business League is an EPA Energy Star Partner, and part of the RainTrust project.  This gives GBL a powerful three-punch program that is the perfect solution for any kind of business.  Even in a down market, Green is growing in popularity; and a bevy of new regulations are going to drive their market due to the urgent issues faced worldwide.  Large corporations like Wal-Mart, DELL, HP, and MicroSoft are a few of  the Fortune 500 already positioning for what is coming.

Invitees to this event must be business savvy, highly-motivated, leaders who see the power of Green over the next few years.  Leadership is vital to the next phase of Green business, and the establishment of a national network of Green consultants is truly the next big thing.

Those who believe that they have the skills, drive, and people management experience to join this impressive program are encouraged to visit the Green Business League website and consider this program.  The revenue model is exciting and provides multiple streams with renewing annual income that show no sign of downturn.  The exciting fact is that GBL has built a system that is proven, powerful, and ready to take this business to the next level.

There are many firms seeking to penetrate this market, but only one organization has taken this program as seriously as Green Business League.  With more than 350 consultants across the country, it is now time to consolidate the program and build a system that will “Bring the Green”.  This is the new leadership of tomorrow.

The Next Big Green Thing event is by invitation only.  Those wishing to be involved in the program should obtain the information and submit their information in advance of the event.  Prime areas will go fast, and this program is expected to be very rewarding.

There will be Green jobs in the future, but the ones that will pay are for those with strong credentials.  The Green Business League announces the newly revised Green Officer curriculum for those who make arrangements to attend this fast-paced, two-day training session.  In the days to come, millions of firms will make the decision to Go Green.  Of course, some will take the low road and buy their Green certification off the Internet, while others will take the high road of an audited system from a national standard of compliance.  The greenwashing tactics that are promoted today by phony Green websites will drop off, one by one.  Programs requiring audited certifications like: LEED, ISO, Energy Star, and Green Business League will be the choice of companies who value their reputation.

Those who wish to pick up on the limited available seats in the Pensacola Green Officer Training should sign up for the event immediately and make plans to attend this event.  The next training will be held in Chicago, IL on Sept 9-11, 2010.  This class will add more Green professionals to an industry currently wandering in confusion.  The Green Business League plans to have more than 1000 Green officers at work by 2011.  With more than 30 million businesses in America alone, it seems like a serious growth market for those who want to capture the trends of the future.

The Green Business League was the choice of the Gerald R Ford Presidential Library for Green certification.  Today, major corporations seeking a credible partner in Green empowerment and certification find that the bold stand of the Green Business League against greenwashing of all types makes GBL the right source for Green compliance.

This class is fast approaching, and those ready to step into a Green career with a brilliant future should make arrangement quickly.

It may be last minute for some, but there is a two-day training session in Destin Florida for Certified Green Consultants who desire a career working with Green business certifications.  The GBL program is now the leading reputable Green certification in the U.S., Canada, South Africa, and South America.  In an world where there seems to be no metrics for Green certification has existed, the Green Business League has taken a bold stand.  GBL stands against Greenwashing of all types, and provides businesses with a Green certification that can be respected.  Certifications bought off the Internet are little more than well-disguised scams.

Certified  Green Consultant classes will be held in a two days program (July 23-24) in Destin, FL.  Further training is accomplished by distance learning. This well-tested program will provide a tremendous introduction to the Certified Green Consultant program.  There are more than 350 Certified Green Consultants have already been trained, but there are more the 30 million businesses in the U.S. alone.  This means that there is plenty of room at the ground floor of an exploding industry.

Space is limited and this class will likely fill soon.  Classes starts at 8 am and go until 5 pm each day.  Materials are provided, but the size of the class is limited to 25.   Find out more at Green Consultant Training (http://www.GreenConsultantTraining.com).  This is a federal trademark course, and those who understand the needs of this market are encourage to investigate this class.

There is a cost for the training, but the income potential is extraordinary.  It is a business that you create using the processes already laid out by GBL.  Those who are more only Green, but Green entrepreneurs, are encouraged to participate in the class.  This may be the last class in Florida in 2010.  The next class is planned for Sept 9-11 in Chicago, I.  This program is the federal trademark of the Green Business League, Inc.

Have you heard about something called “Green Equity?”  If not, it isn’t hard to understand.  We know that real estate has value, and in a good market that value tends to climb year after year.  The difference between what you owe and what the house will sell for is your equity.  If the home is badly treated, however, the value of the home can be adversely affected.  So, when it comes time to sell the home, there is often a frantic effort to fix everything up so that it will bring the best price.  Why bother?  Well, selling a beat up house compared to a nicely kept house is going to have some serious financial consequences.

Let me switch to talk about “Green Equity” in terms that I think anyone still curious about the Green premium will understand.  First of all, let me ask what will be the impact of $5.00/gal on the sale price of a big, gas-hungry car (10+ mpg) compared to a fuel-efficient car (30+ mpg)?   Will the price of the gas-hungry car go down while the fuel efficient car goes up?   The answer should be obvious to anyone who understands market forces.  Another way to explain the Green premium is would you pay one price for paint that fills your house with toxic fumes, or would you pay $5 more for similar paint that will not adversely affect the health of your family?  I think that the answer is (or should be) obvious.  If you figure the average cost of $250 to $500 per month for electric, heat, water, sewage, and trash; the annual bill is $3000 to $6000 a year.

Consider a normal house built in the standard way.  We can calculate the standard cost of fuel, electricity, water, and even waste for most homes; and that becomes the expected financial add-on that we all figure comes with home ownership.  On top of the cost of the purchase price for the home is the operational cost to live in that home.  Year after year, we pay those costs without much thought.  However, if you added up the cumulative costs for the running of a home; could it be a price that would shock us to a new reality?  The ten year cost of running a home could easily equal a quarter to a third of the original purchase price.  A $200,000 house could run $60,000 in additional payments over time.

What if those operational costs were 25% less, 40% less, 50% less or more?  Would a $30,000 savings make one of two homes on the same block more attractive to buyers and bring a premium price?  It is a question hardly worth asking.  It is also important to realize that these expenses are not fixed.  The cost of energy and other necessary services are expected to go up, and go up dramatically.  This is a painful reality, that increases the premium value of a Green certified home.

There is another consideration that families will also value.  Heath is a precious commodity, and we are learning more and more each day about how toxic-laden homes are harming the children that we are supposed to nurture.  With illnesses like allergy, asthma, ADD, ADHD and autism on the rise; there is broad speculation that these problems may be engendered in our children by exposure to chemicals and toxin from the day of conception forward.  Frankly, no one can speculate on the price of a healthy, happy child.  Here again, if there is the expectation that a Green home is better for children in their formative years, what parent wouldn’t choose a Green home over a standard home.

Green Equity, then is a value of a home realized in many ways over the years of occupancy.  If that Green home is maintained as a Green home, it will continue to add the Green premium value to the second, and third buyer as well.  The Green Legacy Home offers something found no where else.  Beside the construction of a superior home, the operation of the home is maintained year after year with the assistance of a Certified Green Consultant from the Green Business League.  Builders, sellers, and real estate professionals are encouraged to think about using the Green Legacy Home program for any home that has been built or remodeled as a Green home.  Find out more at the Green Certified Homes website.
