 It’s not very different from telecom liability. Abundant IOT, as the provider, carries the liability not the advisor.

How is Abundant priced?  MRC?  

Our pricing structure varies depending on the product or service offered. IoT is an upfront cost and a small recurring subscription.  Energy solutions, in particular, exhibit higher variability compared to traditional MRC (Monthly Recurring Charges) models commonly seen in telecom and cloud services.

Customer Objections and Solutions 

What are common customer objections, and why might some hesitate to opt in despite the potential benefits? 

Customer objections may stem from concerns about potential disruptions to their power supply and a lack of understanding about energy brokerage services, leading to hesitation in opting for our solutions.  

However, it’s essential to note that all energy procurement is sourced from the same grid, ensuring consistent service quality. Once customers grasp this concept, they tend to be more receptive to the idea of switching to a third-party energy supplier (REP).
