Ted Konyi commented "I am very excited to be working with these two marketing professionals and their team. Based on the discussions to date CoolSave should bring significant sales momentum to the existing sales team in the UK. Currently the pipeline from CoolSave is growing exponentially. In fact, many of our recent successful client installations are directly a result of introductions by Matt and Colin. Having them on the team should result in unprecedented sales acceleration. This should be viewed as a very successful long term partnership. I am looking forward to working with these highly motivated professionals."

Colin and I thoroughly investigated the successful implementations of Smartcool in existing client environments and concluded that this offering can have significantly greater sales. We feel that this is something we can bring to the Company. We will be focusing on bringing these products to our wide range of existing customers and should have substantial success. Smartcool could become a standard for Energy Efficiency in the commercial environment."
