Customer acquisition systems for the energy industry.

Outbound that fires on the market signals telling you a firm is about to buy.

Every system is built once, documented, and handed over as an asset you own.

Outreach is what most firms need first. It is not the only thing built.

01

Customer acquisition

Market map, data, messaging, channels, CRM, AI layers, reporting.

02

Procurement

Supplier and vendor sourcing, run on the same signal infrastructure.

03

Hiring

Candidate sourcing and outreach for roles the market is short on.

04

Operations

Automation around pipeline, reporting and the admin that follows.

Built around how each kind of firm wins work.

Different buyer, different trigger, different system.

Not on that list?

The list is not the point. If your buyers can be identified, and something observable tells you when they are ready, the method holds. Robotics and automation suppliers, software vendors, specialist consultancies, services firms and finance firms all have the same shape of problem. Focus is small and medium-sized firms, not majors.

What makes this different.

Built from inside the industry

An MSc in renewable energy from Imperial and time on the investment team at Gresham House New Energy. The sector is not being learned on your account.

Signals, not bought lists

A purchased list is stale within months. The systems run on events that keep happening: approvals, transactions, renewals, auctions.

You own what gets built

Data infrastructure, CRM, sequences and documentation are handed over as an asset. If we stop working together, it keeps running.

One operator, no account managers

You speak to the person who builds and runs the system. Nothing is passed to a junior once the contract is signed.

Who is building it

Built by someone who has sat on the other side of the table.

I have sat inside the capital stack of energy transition assets and seen how these firms originate, diligence and win work. I now build the acquisition systems that side of the industry has never had.

Data and AI

AI and cloud solutions work with IBM. Data analyst at a UK independent power producer.

$420m worked on

A $20m equity co-investment and $400m of debt refinancing, as part of the deal team.

From first call to a system you own.

Three phases, two sign-off gates. You approve before it is built, and before it goes live.

Step 01

Audit

Map the commercial engine, the ICP, and where revenue leaks. You get the map whether or not we go further.

Sign-off gate
Step 02

Build

Construct the system: data infrastructure, messaging, channels, CRM and AI layers, tested and documented.

Sign-off gate
Step 03

Operate

Run it, iterate on real reply and conversion data, and hand over an asset the client owns outright.

Founding clients

A new practice, taking a small number of founding clients.

More of the fee at risk, in exchange for the right to use the results as a reference. Engagement fee, retainer, and performance-based compensation, with performance intended as the largest component.
