CHRON Announces Marketing Agreement with Major International
Direct Selling Organization, Viridian
DALLAS, TX -- May 31, 2017 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- The Chron
Organization, Inc. (Ticker:
CHRO) announced today that it has entered into a strategic
marketing agreement with nationally renowned direct selling
organization, Viridian International Management (Viridian) for
medium to large commercial services. As a result of the agreement,
Chron and Viridian will officially launch a joint commercial energy
program Monday, June 5, 2017, targeting mid to large size
commercial, industrial and municipal end-use customers of
electricity and/or natural gas.
The agreement combines Viridians unique marketing approach, with
newly acquired CHRON subsidiary, NAUP Brokerage LLCs (NAUP)
experience, technology, and knowledge of the energy markets, to
create a sales approach and infrastructure ready for full operation
in all U.S. deregulated energy markets. This new commercial energy
program promises to expand CHRONs reach nationally with long-term,
high value clientele.
Powered by NAUP, the new Viridian Large Commercial Energy
Program empowers the tens of thousands of Viridian independent
sales associates to immediately begin taking advantage of expanded
commercial energy offerings in all deregulated markets. Through
this partnership, Viridian independent sales associates can expand
their customer portfolios and take full advantage of the freedom of
choice in the deregulated energy industry through broadened access
to a diverse mix of energy suppliers. The two companies also plan
on deploying innovative energy efficiency options to commercial
customers through Chrons subsidiary Zen and its Zero Cost Program
by the end of 2017. This expansion will enable Viridian sales
associates to expand outside the deregulated energy footprint and
offer energy conservation products such as LED lighting, HVAC
solutions, weatherization, load factor correction, EC motor
controllers and more to commercial, industrial and municipal
customers across the continental United States.
Viridian is always looking for valuable ways to help consumers
and businesses make simple choices more affordably and more
sustainably and at the same time, ways we can empower our
associates to build vibrant and growing businesses powered by
purpose, said Cami Boehme, Viridian Chief Operating Officer. Energy
is a commodity every business uses, and through deregulation
business owners can choose service providers that offer value and
innovation. Our strategic partnership with NAUP is exciting because
it gives our associates all the resources they need to expand their
own Viridian organizations and bring responsible, affordable energy
to even more large commercial customers across the U.S. We look
forward to working side by side with NAUP to increase our customer
base, enhance our Associates opportunity and increase our
collective impact.
CHRON CEO, Alex Rodriguez, said, Our multiple supplier strategy
enables us to better address our customers various needs and also,
the interest of Viridian sales associates. I believe that the
majority of businesses consider energy costs one of their top three
expenditures, spending thousands of dollars monthly on utility
bills alone. That is what makes the Viridian opportunity incredibly
powerful. With NAUPs exceptional brain trust, pedigree, experience,
and professional support from the entire CHRON team, Viridian will
help businesses maximize energy savings through smarter and more
responsible energy procurement.
NAUP has implemented a proprietary process that leverages many
years of energy experience with innovative technology. NAUP has
transformed the often-complicated process of sourcing commercial
energy into a simple, compliant, non-intrusive, and effective
experience for Viridian associates, energy suppliers, and most
importantly, end-use customers. The Viridian Large Commercial
Energy Program today consists of electricity and/or natural gas in
deregulated markets, but will soon include energy efficiency
products in all 48 continental states.
Through a special training requirement administered by Viridian,
eligible associates become Energy Certified to participate in its
energy programs. In addition to this certification, NAUP supports
the Viridian associates with ongoing energy training focused on
industry expertise and best practices.
Energy is deregulated on a state-by-state basis; electricity is
deregulated in 24 states while natural gas is fully deregulated in
19 states and partially in five more. Viridian associates can
initially market large commercial energy in the following states:
California, Colorado, Connecticut, D.C., Florida, Georgia,
Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, and Virginia. NAUP is
focused on opening more markets and expanding this reach over time,
increasing the customer portfolio and creating more opportunities
for Viridian sales associates to increase their earnings for many
years to come.
Through this relationship and the powerful vehicle of
face-to-face marketing, we have the opportunity to expand our joint
message of sustainability and affordability, paired with
value-added services, to thousands of businesses across the
country, Rodriguez said. For NAUP, for Viridian, and for
Viridian Associates, this is an exciting time and a
powerful opportunity to expand our customer portfolio
and our collective impact with innovative, long-term
services.
