Im aktuellen Podcast hatte ich Joschi Jennermann zu Gast, den CEO der neu gegründeten Elli Mobility. Er blickt auf eine lange Karriere im VW-Konzern zurück, unter anderem mit Erfahrungen im Carsharing bei WeShare, und verantwortet nun die Ausrichtung von Elli Mobility auf das B2B-Geschäft. Im Gespräch wurde deutlich, dass Elli 2018 als zentrale Einheit im VW-Konzern für Laden und Energie gegründet wurde. Heute deckt das Unternehmen ein breites Portfolio ab – von Wallboxen und Stromtarifen bis hin zum ersten Großspeicher in Salzgitter. Elli Mobility selbst fokussiert sich auf Flottenlösungen. Basis ist die Tank- und Ladekarte, die durch Services wie Autowäsche oder Heimladen ergänzt wird. Ziel ist es, Unternehmen bei der Transformation von Verbrennerflotten über Mischflotten hin zu vollelektrischen Flotten zu begleiten. „Der klare Mehrwert der Elli Mobility ist, diese Komplexität zu vereinfachen,“ wie Joschi betont. Ein zentrales Thema war die Kostenoptimierung. Vom öffentlichen Laden über Homecharging bis hin zur Elektrifizierung von Unternehmensstandorten mit PV-Anlagen und bidirektionalem Laden spannt sich eine Kette von Maßnahmen, die die Betriebskosten deutlich senken können. Parallel dazu wächst das Portfolio um Beratungsleistungen und die Integration bestehender Systeme – auch über VW hinaus. Kunden sollen nicht auf ein geschlossenes Ökosystem festgelegt werden, sondern flexible, praxisnahe Lösungen erhalten. Spannend waren auch Einblicke in eine aktuelle Umfrage, die Elli Mobility unter Fuhrparkmanagern durchgeführt hat. 56 Prozent der befragten Unternehmen wollen trotz allgemeiner Sparzwänge ihre Flottenbudgets halten oder sogar erhöhen. 69 Prozent investieren aktiv in E-Mobilität, sowohl in Autos als auch in Ladeinfrastruktur. Zwei Drittel der Fuhrparkverantwortlichen sehen die Total Cost of Ownership als zentrales Steuerungselement – ein klarer Treiber für den Wandel. Beim Blick nach vorn erwartet Joschi, dass die Elektrifizierung im B2B-Bereich schneller vorankommt als im Privatkundenmarkt. Jedes zweite neu zugelassene Auto entfällt bereits heute auf den gewerblichen Bereich. Die Realität bleibe jedoch für die nächsten Jahre eine Mischung aus Verbrenner-, Hybrid- und Elektroflotten. Nun aber genug der Vorrede – steigen wir direkt ins Gespräch mit Joschi Jennermann ein.

The Government says it won't make the same mistakes as the last if hit with an event similar to the Covid-19 pandemic. A Treasury report has calculated the total cost of the pandemic at $66 billion. It puts New Zealand among the highest spenders as a proportion of GDP on the Covid response in advanced economies. Finance Minister Nicola Willis told Ryan Bridge nearly half of the spending was on unnecessary initiatives. She says it didn't make a difference to the economy, and racked up huge amounts of debt.

Eight out of every ten vans you sell today still burn diesel, but the numbers say they don't have to. Paul Kirby, founder of EV Essentials and host of the EV Café, breaks down the REAL cost equation that's pushing giants like BT, British Gas and the AA to flip their fleets.

That difference was clear to Simon from his days in the dealership when he experienced many sales trainers who had all the answers, but were unable, unwilling or both to actually show the delegate how they could be implemented. It remains the ethos of the business today. You see, Symco only employ trainers that are committed to delivering not only in spiring and insightful training, but are equally as happy to demonstrate these skills and techniques with real customers in your own showroom. We believe in order for sales training to be effective and in Simon's words ‘real world', it needs to be tried and tested in the only place it matters the showroom floor. There is no room for theory when your goals are for your team to sell more cars, hours or parts and retain more profit. In dealerships around the world the focus applied by many of the sales executives is to try and sell a deal. Symco specialise in getting your teams to focus on selling themselves, the product and then supporting this with the deal. To find out more visit: www.symcotraining.co.uk

On this week's show we look at how the strategies keep changing in the streaming wars. We spend your money and design a home theater system for less than $2000. And as usual we read your email and take a look at the week's news. News: Broadcast Schedule's New Paradigm 75% of Streamers Have Tried an Ad-Supported Plan Google TV users will soon be asked to rate apps Viewers can now add Apple TV+ to a DIRECTV subscription Top Streaming Services Change Up Strategies A Business Insider article suggests the streaming wars have shifted from competition to strategic alliances and distinct priorities. Netflix now prioritizes engagement over subscriber numbers, revamping its homepage with vertical video to rival YouTube and TikTok. Disney focuses on subscriber growth through bundles with Hulu and ESPN, aiming for profitable expansion. Warner Bros. Discovery's Max emphasizes profitability, leveraging high-quality content to retain subscribers rather than competing with Netflix's scale. Engagement is key as streamers build ad businesses. Netflix, with 8% of U.S. connected TV watch time, uses engagement to reduce churn and support its $2.2 billion ad business. Amazon's Prime Video scales ads by enabling them for all users unless they opt out, using shopping data to boost ad effectiveness. While Netflix and Amazon focus on engagement for ads, Disney, Paramount+ (79 million subscribers), and Peacock (41 million) prioritize subscriber growth, though neither is profitable yet. Profitability is critical for WBD, which has cut Max's content spending to focus on financial sustainability, leveraging HBO's legacy content. Its bundling with Disney+ and Hulu supports international growth. Apple TV+ faces high churn due to its limited library, leaving its strategy unclear. As streamers balance growth, engagement, and profitability, alliances and niche strategies redefine success in a crowded market. Home Theater System for under $2000 Ok so you bought a house and spent all your money but you already had a 70” TV from your previous home. And while that has been great you want something more out of your TV watching experience. Somehow you scrape together a $2000 budget and want to know what kind of “Home Theater” System you can cobble together to provide you with immersive surround sound. For this exercise we are assuming a typical living room (e.g., ~15x20 ft) and a focus on movies and general entertainment. We will emphasize value and performance while keeping the setup beginner-friendly. Key Considerations Room Size: Our medium-sized living room can benefit from a 5.1 or possibly a 5.1.2 (Dolby Atmos) setup for surround sound. We have chosen to stay with a 5.1 system for budget concerns. Priorities: Clear dialogue, deep bass, and immersive surround effects are key for movies and gaming. Music performance is secondary but still considered. Components: You'll need an AV receiver, speakers (front, center, surrounds), a subwoofer, and a streaming device.  Setup: We opted for wired speakers for reliability and cost savings over wireless systems, which can eat into the budget. Recommended System AV Receiver: Denon AVR-S760H 2021 Model  ($500 from Amazon) We are on a budget so a 2021 model that does everything you need for a small family room on a budget is absolutely the right call here. Don't overlook last year's models on your A/V equipment. No one will walk into your house and whisper about last years (or four years ago) model behind your back. This is a 7.2-channel receiver with 75W per channel, supporting 4K/120Hz, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and room calibration (Audyssey). It's versatile, beginner-friendly, and handles modern formats for movies and gaming. 6 HDMI inputs (3 with 8K support), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and HEOS for streaming. Refurbished units can save even more. Speaker System: RSL CG3M 5.1 home theater system ($850 Direct from RSL) We splurged a little on the speakers. The CG3Ms will not disappoint! We have been fans of RSL since we had Joe Rogers on the show about 15 years ago. He is a musician and understands what music is supposed to sound like and has designed speakers with that in mind.  This compact speaker system will put you right in the middle of a concert or movie! You really can't get better at this price. The 300 watt 10” subwoofer is plenty for your small to medium sized family room.   Speaker Wire and Cables: Monoprice ($50 Budget) Pretty much from day one we have been saying buy good cables but don't spend a lot of money doing so. $50 at Monoprice goes a long way for your Speaker and HDMI cables.   Streaming Device: ($150 Budget) A streaming device enhances your home theater by providing access to all kinds of entertainment options, including Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+,and YouTube. These dedicated streaming devices offer faster performance, regular software updates, and broader app compatibility. They also support advanced features like 4K HDR, Dolby Atmos, and voice control, elevating your viewing experience with superior picture and sound quality. Additionally, devices like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, or Apple TV are portable, affordable, and easy to set up, making them a versatile upgrade for any home theater, regardless of your TV's age or brand. Sales Tax: $90 - $150 Unfortunately we can't forget the tax man. There are a few places in the US that do not have a sales tax and other areas range from 6% up to 10%. Total Cost: ~$1,640-$1,700 This leaves ~$300-$360 for a programmable remote, Atmos, or height speakers. Or a year of a new streaming service.  This system balances cost, performance, and future expandability, delivering an elevated experience for your new home without breaking the bank.

This one's personal, Justin's been a client of mine for years, and in this episode, we finally unpack the horror story we've been sitting on for two years. What started as a killer commercial deal turned into a sewer line lawsuit with a surprise twist… and a happy ending (yes, with beer). We talk due diligence, problem-solving under pressure, and lessons from navigating the unexpected.

Ross from Houston faces a common challenge in channel sales: how do you create brand preference for your product when you're selling through distributors who carry multiple competing lines and competitors who undercut your price? His company builds industrial dust-collection equipment and ducting, but they don't sell direct—meaning they rely heavily on distributors, contractors, and engineers to choose their brand over cheaper alternatives. Below, you'll find key insights on how to drive more “pull-through” sales to your channel partners and convince every stakeholder—from designers to installers—to pick your product. Why Pull-Through in Channel Sales Matters When you sell through distribution, you lose a lot of direct control. Your product is on the shelf (literally or figuratively) alongside competitors, and the distributor or contractor can often steer buyers toward any brand they choose. Pull-through happens when the end user, contractor, or engineer specifically requests your brand—making your distributor the middleman who fulfills the preference you created. Educate & Collaborate With Specifiers Ross' sales team already does lunch-and-learn sessions with engineering firms. Those engineers create the specs that contractors must follow, so if your product is “baked in” early, that's a massive advantage later when the contractor goes shopping. But the real test comes when the contractor or installer sees a cheaper alternative on the distributor's line card. Key Steps: Educate engineers on the deeper value and functionality of your product, so they'll insist on it in their specs. Collaborate with contractors. Even if they're not the final decision-maker, they can heavily influence whether your premium line or a cheaper knockoff is chosen. Brand Preference vs. Price Objections The toughest hurdle for a premium brand is the classic price objection. If the competitor's line undercuts you, how do you prove your extra value? Unearth the Real Cost of Going Cheap. Show specifiers and end users the Total Cost of Ownership—that cheaper or less-robust solutions can lead to higher maintenance, safety issues, or inefficiencies down the line. Highlight Success Stories. Gather testimonials or case studies from buyers who saved time, boosted reliability, or lowered total cost of ownership by choosing your brand. Create Tools and Guides. Develop clear documentation or ROI calculators that help buyers see beyond sticker price—especially useful if the distributor's rep isn't fully equipped to present your value. Dealing with the Distributor as a Gatekeeper You can do all the contractor or engineer training you want, but if the distributor's inside salesperson steers a buyer to a cheaper product, you still lose. That's why building the distributor relationship is non-negotiable. Action Items: Train the Distributor's Sales Reps. Show them exactly how to pitch your brand's advantages, from installation ease to long-term reliability. Reward Them for Advocacy. If possible, offer spiffs or incentives when they successfully sell your line. In some cases, highlight how your product can reduce their support headaches and returns, making their life easier. Co-Sell on Big Deals. Bring major opportunities to the distributor, or volunteer to go on key calls together. When you help them close deals, they become more loyal to you. Get Proactive and Strategic One pitfall in channel sales is that your rep can become just a “help desk” for the distributor—always fixing problems instead of actively driving new deals. But a proactive approach can turn that support into a competitive edge: Offer On-Site or Virtual Coaching. Whenever the distributor or contractor hits a snag, your rep steps in, demonstrating expertise. This builds trust and brand loyalty. Balance Support with Hunting. While your reps should help,

For fleet managers, timing is everything when it comes to vehicle replacement. Wait too long, and maintenance costs spike while reliability plummets. Replace too soon, and you could be throwing away thousands on a vehicle that still has life left in it.In this episode of The Fleet Code, we explore a third option: remanufacturing. Jonathan Carr, President of Vehicle Reman, joins us to break down the numbers behind replacement vs. remanufacturing, which fleets benefit the most, and how to minimize downtime while maximizing cost savings.View a transcription and show notes for this episode here →Takeaways from this episode: Use data to determine when a vehicle is costing you more than it's worthIf your vehicles are highly upfitted, replacement might not be the best optionThink long-term and decide where remans could fit into your immediate–, future–, and even transitionary plansGuest: Jonathan Carr, President, Vehicle RemanAdditional Links and Resources:Learn more about Vehicle Reman (website)How to Calculate the Total Cost of Ownership for Your Fleet (blog)Developing a Fleet Vehicle Replacement Strategy (white paper)

Health plans often underestimate the full financial burden of their core administration systems. This episode shines a light on the hidden costs buried and spread throughout the lifecycle of a typical core admin vendor contract. We will discuss what total total cost of ownership is, how to evaluate it, and what to do when costs are unexpectedly higher than you anticipated due to spread-out expenses, complex integrations, and recurring upgrades. Listeners will learn how to identify the operational “patchwork” that keeps plans tethered to legacy models and discover why taking a shorter, more honest view of long-term costs can reveal hidden savings. The conversation explores how integrated ecosystems provide stability, transparency, and scalability, positioning plans to invest in growth rather than wasting unoptimized resources.

Send us a text message.With U.S. manufacturing facing a potential shortfall of 7.5 million skilled workers, how can we bring jobs back and build the workforce to sustain them?In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with Harry Moser, founder and president of the Reshoring Initiative, to explore the critical intersection of reshoring manufacturing, workforce development, and technological advancement. With decades of experience in manufacturing and workforce advocacy, Harry shares actionable insights for educators, policymakers, and business leaders aiming to strengthen America's industrial future.From addressing workforce shortages to overcoming supply chain risks, Harry explains the importance of apprenticeships, hands-on learning, and reshoring strategies like total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis. He also reveals why countries like Switzerland excel in workforce preparation and what the U.S. must do to compete.Listen to learn:How reshoring addresses a 45% cost gap with China to protect U.S. supply chains and economic security.Why FAME apprenticeships produce $98K earners within five years, rivaling or exceeding college degree outcomes.How TCO analysis helps manufacturers uncover hidden costs, making U.S. production viable in 50% of cases.What the U.S. can learn from Switzerland, where 60% of students enter apprenticeships & fuel their industrial workforce.How reshoring has grown U.S. manufacturing jobs 25x since 2010—and the critical steps needed to sustain it.3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Reshoring is essential for U.S. economic and national security in an era of global uncertainty.The U.S. faces a 45% manufacturing cost gap with China, but Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis shows that 50% of cases favor reshoring when hidden costs like tariffs and geopolitical risks are factored in. Harry Moser emphasizes the dangers of supply chain disruptions and reliance on foreign manufacturing for critical goods.2. Apprenticeships are a high-earning alternative to traditional college degrees, with faster results.Graduates of programs like FAME earn an average of $98,000 annually within five years, far surpassing many degree holders. They also start earning earlier, graduate debt-free, and enter the workforce with advanced technical skills in high demand.3. The U.S. must address a projected 7.5 million skilled worker shortfall in manufacturing.Harry Moser highlights Switzerland's apprenticeship model, where 60% of students gain hands-on skills through advanced training programs, as an example the U.S. could emulate. Building similar pathways could help meet workforce needs and drive manufacturing growth.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about the Reshoring Initiative, visit: reshorenow.orgTry the Total Cost of Ownership Estimator®Instagram - Facebook - YouTube - TikTok - Twitter - LinkedIn

The discussion highlights maternal health as a critical area of focus, with successful interventions shown to reduce NICU admissions and overall healthcare costs. Andrews emphasizes the role of self-insured employers in driving systemic changes that align financial incentives with health outcomes. This encore is very relevant after the shows with Cora Opsahl (EP452), Claire Brockbank (EP453), and Marilyn Bartlett (EP450). Getting better health for the 160 million Americans covered by commercial insurance is all about rates, rights, and power. 07:34 How did Rob get to his current role? 09:08 The problem of maternal health and mortality rate, and how self-insured employers wind up directly and indirectly paying for this. 10:27 Why economic consequences move the needle, and why sometimes they don't. 12:26 Why the best way to address costs isn't to re-shift costs but to address them directly. 13:22 Why compensation that isn't dependent on outcomes is a problem. 16:23 “Strategy's not what people say; it's what they do.” 18:21 How do you operationalize saving money with better outcomes? 26:26 How do employers turn conflict into collaboration? 28:20 What is the win-win-win structure among employers, payers, and providers in Rob's eyes? 30:53 To whom should the task of risk adjustment fall? 34:43 “Better contracts do improve outcomes.”

The energy storage market is truly moving faster than ever, and with it, the complexity of building and managing these projects and products that serve our need for 24/7 renewable power. It does, however, raise a number of interesting, if not troubling questions:How does this rapid change impact the Total Cost of Ownership for battery energy storage projects?Are there hidden costs to this pace of growth?As we watch the industry scale, it has started to feel a bit like companies are rushing projects (and products) to market in a race to meet market demand and be “first” in a number of key areas, not the least of which is power density and battery size. So we have to ask, “how big is too big?”And, as sites begin to move closer to population centers, what do we do about the inevitable concerns surrounding noise ordinances? Is Noise the next challenge in front of the industry?I asked these and many others of today's special guest while we were live on our PowerUp Live stage recently at RE+ 2024.With over 12.5 gigawatt-hours of contracted storage systems, including 8.5 gigawatt-hours already in operation, Wärtsilä Energy Storage & Optimisation (ES&O) is rapidly expanding its global footprint across key markets, from the US and Canada to Chile, the UK, and beyond. With the market moving faster than ever, Wärtsilä is tackling both technical and logistical challenges, ensuring that its battery storage systems are ready to meet demand.Andy Tang, Vice President of Wärtsilä ES&O, brings nearly two decades of expertise in battery storage and grid edge development to the table. And in our conversation, he addresses head on the impacts of rising energy density on Total Cost of Ownership (TCOE) and the hidden costs associated with larger, more complex systems. Expect to learn:Whether the race to greater energy-density batteries is really “good” for the market.The emerging challenge of noise and how Wärtsilä is addressing it through advanced design and site planningTang's advice for procurement managers in vendor & product selection.Watch this and other insightful conversations recorded live at the PowerUp Live Podcast Stage over at www.suncast.live!If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!SunCast is proudly supported by Trina Solar.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 730 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling:

“Passer en SaaS ne veut pas dire qu'on a plus de dette technique. On l'a juste mutualisée”. Dans ce quatrième épisode de la série spéciale Tech, Laurent Kretz demande conseil à Kévin Couvet, le CTO de CosaVostra, pour optimiser et anticiper au mieux sa dette technique. Un site e-commerce sera toujours contraint d'évoluer avec son écosystème, en ajoutant des couches de développement, des interfaçages et des plugins. L'ensemble de ces éléments constitue la dette technique qui, à terme, devra forcément être refondue. Kevin nous explique comment anticiper au mieux ce chantier inévitable et ainsi maîtriser au mieux le Total Cost of Ownership de son site. Dans cet épisode, on parle de :00:04:55 - Passer en mode SaaS pour mutualiser sa dette technique ; 00:07:00 - Se faire accompagner par un dev pour éviter que les nouvelles couches ne fassent régresser le site ;00:09:55 - Anticiper les mises à jour en SaaS ; 00:12:25 - Développer son site open source de manière à ce qu'il puisse évoluer facilement ; 00:17:00 - Scaler grâce à la bonne architecture serveur.

It's a common misconception that pre-construction consists solely of estimating costs based on drawings and coordinating subcontractor bids. Pre-construction might begin with feasibility studies and initial concepts, which help determine what is financially viable. It comprises a wide range of tasks until building begins, with designs finalized and budgets secured. The pre-construction phase involves a large amount of work. Today, we are joined by Steve Dell'Orto, the founder & CEO of ConCntric, a cloud-based construction software platform for pre-construction and construction cost estimating. With 26 years of experience in the construction industry, Steve is well-equipped to drive digital transformation in this field. He is dedicated to using his expertise to enhance innovation and technology in real estate and construction. Together with his team, Steve aims to make the built world more affordable, predictable, and sustainable, positioning them to significantly impact the future of the industry. He joined us today to discuss ways to maximize pre-construction success while also improving collaboration, affordability, and outcome certainty. Steve starts the conversation by explaining what pre-construction is and how people mistakenly view pre-construction as merely estimating costs. Steve then kindly shares the importance of the alignment of all stakeholders around common objectives, saying that successful project delivery relies on effective communication and collaboration, ensuring that everyone understands the value being provided and works towards the shared goal of a high-quality outcome. We also talk about the role of technology in renovating the construction industry. By integrating workflows and automating procedures, you may improve communication, save time, and allow skilled workers to focus on their strengths. Collaboration and transparency in gathering ideas from many stakeholders can result in substantial advancements and innovation throughout the industry. As we continue our conversation, we focus on the following aspects of the pre-construction process: the primary problem, the non-linear nature of pre-construction, risk mitigation prior to construction, the black-box approach, and the role of AI in the construction industry.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [01.56] Steve's career journey at Clark Construction Group.

He has been on The Washingtonian's list of most influential people for four years in a row. Today, we talk about why people think the American healthcare system is “free market” and the role of prices in determining health outcomes--- and how unfettered markets improve the lives of everyone in need of healthcare.
