Big changes are coming to home energy in Australia, with a new federal battery subsidy set to boost household storage. But to deliver real value, these batteries must be ‘virtual power plant ready', able to discharge power to the grid when it's needed most. New modelling shows that, with the right policies and incentives, this could unlock $14 billion in value, mainly from homes. Without smart settings, households risk being penalised for adopting new tech. Amber Electric is one retailer working to flip the business model of most Australian energy retailers. Instead of profiting from higher energy use, Amber gives customers access to wholesale prices and helps them use and share energy when it's cheapest and greenest. In this rerun of a conversation with CEO and co-founder Dan Adams, we explore how Amber is making it easier for households to support the grid, and get rewarded for it, and why other retailers need to adapt so more consumers can benefit from the energy transition.

Guest Name: Dan Adams  LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielericadams/ Company: https://up-skill.com Hosts Brian Doyle: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briandoylemetathinq/ Dan Adams brings a wealth of experience to the table with a seasoned career in information technology that stretches back to his days on the initial team integrating Macintoshes onto PC networks. From his early involvement with software company Novell, Dan has seen the IT industry evolve significantly. Today, he proudly holds two pivotal roles: as the CEO of Upskill Consulting, where he's committed to enhancing career progression and success for IT professionals, and as Chairman of NENS, a thriving managed services provider. His remarkable journey through IT demonstrates a track record of leadership, innovation, and dedication to the industry. Episode Summary: In this enlightening session of MSP Business School, host Brian Doyle welcomes back Dan Adams, a returning guest and now a "friend of the show," who has provided Brian and his team invaluable insights on numerous occasions. This episode delves into the nuanced terrains of MSP branding, team building, and the evolution of customer expectations in the IT space; a sector where Dan has decades of impactful contributions. The dialogue begins with a dive into market differentiation, as Dan reflects on the shift from vendor certifications toward more substantive brand distinctions based on process transparency and service delivery. He emphasizes the importance of showing customers a roadmap for success, rather than solely relying on technical accreditation to instill confidence. Moreover, the conversation flows into the strategic importance of setting and exceeding client expectations. Dan advises that understanding the client's definition of success is essential for any MSP aiming to become a true trusted advisor. The episode concludes with rich discussions on the maturity of MSP businesses and the powerful role of systematized processes in both client engagement and operational consistency. Key Takeaways: Vendors' certifications are no longer the key differentiator in the MSP market; instead, clearly defined processes and the customer success roadmap play a more significant role.

You'll hear insights from Dan's 20+ years of experience in Technology/SaaS about navigating the data explosion, including advice on leveraging data science, creating data-driven go-to-market strategy, tools to organize data, alignment to target customer behavior, and much more.---------Quote"I've seen marketing efforts that haven't been generating the top 2 priorities... inbound leads and sales accepted opportunities. We want to drive all of our marketing effort towards those 2 things that really help us have a further picture: what does it cost to acquire a customer, and what is the ROI of our advertising spend? But it's all is based upon us generating more inbound leads and more sales accepted opportunities." ---------Key TakeawaysWhen working with clients to combine data into useful insights, Dan focuses on 3 key areas: 1) customer acquisition, 2) returns on advertising spending, and 3) the overall lifetime value of getting a new customer.You can move data from point A to point B, but if the data is coming in from numerous sources and is not clean, verified, transformed, or unified - you have a data dumpster.The first step in aligning content to customer pain points is meeting the customer where they are, then starting a conversation that can pivot into your company's value.---------Time Stamps:* (1:02) Dan's role at Switchboard Software as VP of Revenue * (3:11) Data and digital transformation as a way of doing business* (6:38) How to leverage data science to drive growth * (13:52) Tools to help organize data * (15:36) Improving the relationship between Marketing and Sales* (21:09) Creating a data-driven go-to-market strategy* (27:34) Rapid-fire questions --------SponsorThis podcast is brought to you by DemandJump.

Massachusetts won national praise for being the first state to legalize recreational weed with an eye to equity. Voters in 2016 said they wanted a cannabis industry that somehow included people who were impacted by the War on Drugs. But since then, those very people have been squeezed out of the industry -- people like Chauncy Spencer. He grew up in Boston, sold weed when he was young, and paid the price for it. When he tried to open a legal pot shop, he faced surprising competition from another entrepreneur who was quietly backed by a major corporation. This story is Part 2 of 8 in a series called Fair Shake, about what drug laws and the cannabis business can teach us about social equity in the U.S. Written and reported by Ann Marie Awad, with Dan Adams of the Boston Globe Lead producers: Jo Erickson, with mixing by Matt Simonson Editor: Dennis Funk Music: Daniel Mescher, Brad Turner Executive producers: Brad Turner, Kevin Dale Additional producers: Luis Antonio Perez, Rebekah Romberg Illustrator: Jonell Joshua Thanks also to Kim Nguyen, Jodi Gersh, Clara Shelton, Matt Herz, Martin Skavish, Rachel Estabrook, Francie Swidler.
