Starting your own business can be tough. Without a brilliant idea, awesome product, or great service to sell, finding your feet can be hard and money can be tight. There are many factors that prevent people from venturing out on their own and starting a new business. Although entrepreneurship can be highly rewarding, the stability of a nine-to-five job is still the safest option for many people. For entrepreneurs, looking fear in the face is the name of the game, and they thrive on taking chances on a new business venture. But seeking new and exciting business ventures that are trustworthy, lucrative, and established can be a challenge.
But with Stream Energy, entrepreneurs can leverage the name of an established company. Stream Energy also allows them to have financial freedom, own their time, and work from anywhere. Stream Energy (now Stream) was founded in 2005 and, over the 13 years of its existence, the company has grown from an energy business to one that also sells home, wireless, and protective services. With this unique positioning in the energy market, the Dallas-based company quickly grew to become what it is today – one of the largest companies in the global energy market. Through its expansion into other services, and to nine states across the U.S., the company has earned over $8 billion in lifetime revenue.
The company was founded by Rob Snyder and Pierre Koshakji, who had a simple idea for making Stream Energy a success: selling energy by word of mouth. Today, that simple idea has become a reality and, in the process, the company has made thousands of people small business owners – entrepreneurs in their own right. Through a program called the Stream Opportunity, the company has given thousands of people the opportunity to earn income and rewards by selling its services and signing up new customers. The Stream Opportunity aims to help its Independent Associates (those who have signed up for the program) establish their own customer base and add other associates to their teams. Joining a business like Stream Energy as an Independent Associate allows entrepreneurs to leverage their current network while creating more opportunities for themselves.
For entrepreneurs, joining the Stream Opportunity allows them to leverage the skills they already have and use them to grow their Stream Energy business. With no inventory or quotas to meet, it’s completely up to the entrepreneur to get a customer base and start selling, so there’s no limit to their earning potential. Here’s how entrepreneurs can leverage their entrepreneurial skills to make their Stream Energy business successful:
Use Their Network
Having a solid network is essential when starting a new business. Most Independent Associates only have their friends and family to sell to in the first few months, but seasoned entrepreneurs usually have a network of people they look to for sales.
Managing a Team
Leadership experience is a huge benefit when joining the Stream Opportunity. Independent Associates can increase their earning potential by building a team, which will help them succeed and increase their earning potential. By building a team, Independent Associates get promoted to various leadership positions within the program, and with a higher leadership position come more perks, like a 12-month lease on a Mercedes-Benz, a customized Tesla, and a monthly travel stipend.
Productivity
Entrepreneurs know how to leverage their own time. Even though Independent Associates have the freedom to work whenever and wherever they desire, entrepreneurs who aim to make Stream Opportunity a thriving business know their peak energy times, routines, and the productivity tools that work for them. These all are major keys to creating a successful business.
Connect via Social Media
With so many aspects of business running completely on social media, platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest are a key part of any business’s marketing strategy. With entrepreneurs having their fingers on the pulse of everything new and exciting in the digital world, they often know how to leverage these social networks to work for them and their Stream Energy business.
Customer Focused
Without customers to sign up or sell to, entrepreneurs would not have a business. Knowing this, they’re usually very customer focused when selling their services. Because Stream Energy sells services that most people use in their homes, it’s essential that Independent Associates do the research and know who they’re selling to. This is something that most entrepreneurs know how to do well.
Closing Sales
Many entrepreneurs have sales experience, and Stream Opportunity is all about selling. Being able to close a sale is essential when working with Stream Energy because the more you sell, the more your earning potential and rewards increase.
