5. The Pain – The Race
Nowhere, including the current
distribution model can emerging
integrators find in a 1-stop-shop:
•business mentoring
•leveraged national branding
•brand agnostic product distribution
•brand-agnostic
•on-going training
•best of breed education
•support beyond product,
including sales and business coaching
By all accounts, the current
distribution model is broken, with no
on-going business, non-product
based support or specific vesting in
the success of the downstream
supplier/integrator.

We are vested in the success of our Ambassador Energy Agency
family, deriving g

through recruitment and growth, positively affect more
entrepreneurs and families while growing the returns for AE

in most situations, revenues generating relatively high-margin income. On average, renewable
energy companies which offer installation services, can expect to achieve 20-30% gross margins.
