Description: I am in the process of negotiating a contract with a reputable overseas company to market the rights to Energy Management Solutions and Energy Saving Products for AC Induction 6-Speed Motor Driven Systems. The systems are used in a wide variety of industries with equipment/machinery fitted with these motors. The product is already being used successfully in South Africa in the mining industry and in various countries overseas. The product can be used in existing equipment and machinery, can be incorporated within the design and manufacture of equipment for industrial plants and white goods in their manufacturing process and extremely large orders can be negotiated in the corporate sector. The product is also easy to install and training will be given to companies who want to use their in house teams. Revolutionary Software will enable the installations team to provide comprehensive survey reports highlighting the existing levels of efficiency and any potential problems and solutions to help customers to assess their need in the purchase of products. Proven global sales have established that many orders exceed R140 000 which will ensure that I become consistently self-financing with no borrowing on my balance sheet. A leasing plan of two years will be put in place to accomodate even the smallest business and to add to my sales. A proposal will be submitted to customers that will focus on practical solutions with detailed costs and benefit analyses demonstrating the product's viability. A programme of training for me and my team will maximise the potential in the Sales and Installations field as well as ensure total management skills to equip us to meet the demands and deadlines associated with the business. It is my intention to employ a fully qualified engineer who will undergo Technical training for the Installation process and to further train new staff. I will undergo the Sales and management skills training to equip me to oversee the training, development and management of the engineering sales staff as well as the operation of the business. I will need funding for the following: training, research, marketing/marketing materials, installation kit/software, products, the employment of specialist staff for sales and installations and rental of offices to operate from.
