    Setting up affiliates with local utility companies.

    Walking in, shaking things up, and finding out who I need to talk to isn't a problem.

    If I wanted to Setup affiliates with local utility companies for people that just moved in to town, people searching, finding leads...
    What kind of system would be best for this, that is making it work when people buy the product and generating leads the referral would be tracked and the split would come my way.

    This has been alluded to on here but the thread is buried.

              where I live there is only one electric company one water and sewer company one phone company one cable company, the only option is direct tv or dish if you want satellite. so why would they pay me a referral fee when they are the only company people can use?

                  I was just wondering as it would work well in some instances like a hair salon. In a real big city this would work if you were to pour over the area of coverage for the utility company.

                          ...and then a real business man stepped into the thread.

                          A good model to look at.

                              I know a few people who are doing something like this for a small electric company in New York.

                              They are targeting small businesses to sell them electricity, the sales person makes a piece over the amount of electricity they use monthly.

                                  You don't want to focus on the big boys, you want to focus on the little boys in deregulated states.

                                  For instance, in Maryland gas and electricity was regulated until the 90's and there was only one player in the game. Once it became deregulated a bunch of companies shot up that sell electricity a little bit cheaper.

                                  Of course, they do not have their own infrastructure so the big boy still delivers the product and gets paid that way.

                                  You want to find the smaller utilities that piggyback off the larger ones and try to solicit them.

                                  Same thing with smaller ISP's, etc.

                                  As for the technology solution if you want to do this online... I'd go with www.boberdoo.com. They've been around forever and I used them many years ago (online years) when I was generating and selling loan leads to companies like Citi.

                                      Thanks for bothering to reply. I'm looking at the website in another tab and perhaps will give them a call. I'm always on the prowl for new business ideas. Not to spread oneself thin but you only learn what is best by doing research and of course actually taking action.

                                          How are the rates like in a one provider town? Still manageable or monopolized?

                                              I remember AdultKing mentioning that he made a small fortune from being an affiliate to power companies. He's busy doing the entire industry a massive favor, but you should see if he can spare a few minutes to talk with you.
