How do we earn money on energy?
The way we get paid is by adding a small uplift on top the energy pricing structure that we receive from our energy suppliers.The art is pricing at a level that is lower than the suppliers and other brokers so while making a profit, the customer is still recieving a good and fair price.
The uplift is a small amount that is placed on the pence per kWh which means the more your client uses, the more commission you will earn. The uplift is always included in the price so its not seen as an added extra. As long as its a cheaper or better price, the client will be happy.
We do not earn commission on the Standing Charge that the client pays.
Should a client ask how you get paid we recommend saying the following - "We get paid a small commission, or introducor fee, from the supplier that you choose to go ahead with for your energy supply." Again it is useful to stress we don't add to the price that is being offered.
The commission that you get paid is at the rate of 65% of the total uplift on a client's supply, so if Diverse Utility Solutions get paid £100 for a client that you have introduced, we will pay you £65.We also have to pay other people in this process as well so its in everyone's interest that we get the pricing and uplift correct.
