What is 30 + 42 =

Best of both worlds

Proficiency is pleased to welcome EPC Near Me as a new industry partner.

A highly specific marketing platform for Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs).

At Proficiency, we offer a remarkable range of support and benefits to DEAs and indeed to energy assessors across all strands. Within that we promote our members on a national directory, which generates some local enquiries for members. That however does not replace the need for targeted advertising if you are looking to grow your business. 

EPC Near Me has developed what appears to be a very effective strategy for maximising enquiries for DEAs from web based searches. Whilst we are all inundated by people promising to get us on the first page of web searches, they are mostly using generic principles without any industry specific understanding. EPC Near Me is a different approach and appears well worth a look if you would like to generate a higher volume of enquiries for domestic EPCs. 

We regularly see and hear complaints about the prices assessors are paid by panels. It is a free market, and Proficiency cannot do anything to change that. However, with effective marketing of the type offered by EPC Near Me, you are competing with the panels not selling your services to them. Your client’s price expectations are set by what the panels sell at, not what they buy at, and that can be a game changer for independent DEAs. 

EPC Near Me will be offering a significant discount to Proficiency members taking out a qualifying marketing plan with them. In addition, EPC Near Me will be offering the same discount to people already on a qualifying advertising plan with them, who join Proficiency. 

Proficiency will also offering an ongoing discount on Proficiency membership for EPC Near Me advertisers. With savings on both sides this is a win-win arrangement for DEAs. 

Full details will be made available on or before the 19th January 2023 when there will be a short presentation of how it works at the CPD meeting. See event details.

Why are we doing this? 

Because both organisations recognise the importance to DEAs of combining effective marketing with excellent support and CPD. By working together, we can help you achieve more.
