INSTALLERSUPPORT MEET THE CONSUMOS – HERE TO HELP YOU WIN MORE BUSINESS Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s the consumos. Get a competitive edge with new knowledge hub » » THE FENSA KNOWLEDGE Hub (FKH) is a new, revolutionary web- based management and marketing tool. It processes all the information installers input during the notification process on the FENSA website – and offers it to them as easy to understand, informative data, much of which is graphically presented. It is available for free to FENSA members only. FENSA installers will be able to evaluate their performance and prices against the market average, identify sales and marketing opportunities, view their inspection history, compare performance over the previous year and much more besides. All the knowledge held on the FKH comes from the notification process, so is information already supplied by FENSA installers. This is then combined with local government information on population, housing stock etc. Each installer will be able to see only their company specific data – and will not be able to view any other installers’ information. But, installers will be able to view industry aggregated data by Local Authority area or nationally. Jon Vanstone, FENSA director, commented: “The FENSA Knowledge Hub will provide a vital insight for our members.” The FENSA Knowledge Hub went live on 4th April. The FENSA Knowledge Hub will be demonstrated at the FIT Show on the FENSA Stand (No 30, Hall 8). www.fensaknowledgehub.co.uk 144 » MAY 2017 » CL EARVI E W- UK .

We settled on the consumos and hope that installers will love them as much as we do. “We are also asking installers to name the latest addition to the family, so get in touch with your suggestions.” Yuki and Akiko were launched as part of the CPA’s popular Together Stronger campaign, which brought a 25% increase in CPA membership over nine months and a 400% increase in enquiries.

The top reason why new members joined was for our customer service levels and our friendly, helpful staff. “Of course, all the other aspects of Certass membership such as designing the product around our customers, the way we structure our fees and the simple to use ‘mobile first’ IT platforms are important. But, these stem from our single overriding principle of delivering the best customer service we can. “So, after hearing this it should be no surprise that the biggest source of our new business leads is our existing customer base and partner programs. We thought it’s about time we said thank you in helping us grow to be an award-winning certification body. ‘thank you in helping us grow to be an award- winning certification body’ “From May 2017, where a new company joins Certass and they are introduced by an existing member or partner, we will give both parties a £25 shopping voucher. We will be notifying all our existing members via the members’ area how to start receiving vouchers shortly.” www.certass.co.uk
