Elemental Energy Saving

There are so many simple, easy ways we can become energy savers. It does not need to be a fairytale!

Why not be a hero and save energy today, in your lifetime, for your family and children in their lifetime. We all need to make the effort and changes necessary to put this into action.

Why not start by replacing your light bulbs for energy efficient ones. The amount of energy this can save will also save you money. Replace any older, less energy efficient appliances. Most new appliances now come automatically energy efficient and labelled with the energy star system or another local energy rating.

We understand at Enigin that this is a skill that always needs developing and hence I would like to share the main points with Enigin Distributors and Enigin employees.

In the last post we looked at how not to negotiate, here are several recommendations to increase the potential of success:

Negoiating Pit Falls

CBS News business website had an interesting article last month about negotiating - an important skill for all sales people at whatever level.

We understand at Enigin that this is a skill that always needs developing and hence I would like to share the main points with Enigin Distributors and Enigin employees.

Here are three sure-fire conditions to create failure in a negotiation process:

Transparency and Honesty the new Buzz Words?

From politician salaries, honest journalists through to calorie counts on menu items, “transparency” is a buzzword for many in government and business circles. Calls for transparency and honesty are ever increasing.

In business it is the same - honesty and opening up yourself for all to see, with the obvious necessity of certain factors and processors remaining private, is seen as the way ahead.

Enigin Distributors are always pleased when they come to the Enigin HQ in the UK, as they always wonder if they smart websites are actually all run by someone form their bedroom!

Enigin.com - Facing the Music!

Last night I had the pleasure of attending a friend’s social event at a local venue, however I was forced to face the music in respect of the disco that was hired for the event. Why is it that musicians and record companies go to great lengths to produce first class sounds from their records balancing each instrument carefully with the vocal content when almost all so called DJs have the tremendous aptitude for reducing weeks of work into two distinct sounds that can almost cave your chest in with the volume turned up full blast.

ENIGIN - On the right road

The time for change came when I decided that the old car had to go!

Travelling in to Enigin every day certainly puts the miles on the car.  In my bid to “Save the planet”!! I have reduced my cars engine size from 2000cc to 1600cc which in turn has reduced my insurance costs and my road tax costs.  Its quite painless really just like saving energy the Enigin way.

ENIGIN - Mackerel - Simple

Following the last week or so of superbly hot weather there is a reasoning that suggests that its Too hot to be stuck over a hot stove preparing meals for the family.  Here at Enigin we believe in trying to keep things simple and easy to understand.  Strike up the Barby comes the cry and why not!   Get down to you local Fishmonger or supermarket if they have a decent fish counter and look for local freshly caught Mackerel.  Look for bright eyes and a shimmering skin which will tell you that the fish is fresh.  Ask the Fishmonger to fillet a couple of good sized mackerel and pin bone them..  When you get them home put them straight into the bottom of the fridge.  Light up the Barby and while you are waiting for it to go to white ash prepare nice fresh salad with lots of different elements.  Put about 4 desert spoons of extra virgin olive oil in a bowl and add 2 -3 dessert spoons of Red wine and stir well.  Add salt and pepper and mix well.   Enigin.

Ok lets bring this together for a terrific easy and great tasting meal.  Oil up the fish with olive oil and place skin side down on the BBQ.  It should not take long and you will see the fish cooking through.  Once the colour change id about two thirds of the way through the fish carefully lift the fish and turn it over.  Give it anothe minute and remove from the BBq and hold on a hot plate.  Plate up the salad, Cut a wedge of lemon and lay the mackerel fillets over the salad placing the lemon wedge on the fish.   Spoon on a little of the red wine dressing and serve with crusty bread.  A glass of cold cider goes well with this light meal.  Summer on a plate.  It works just as well with quality smoked mackerel just warmed.  Mackerel is one of the best superfoods just like Enigin is one of the super energy savers.

MAYDAY - Summers a time for saving at Enigin

Its official, here at Enigin summer is jus around the corner.  The jackets and overcoats are being left at home as the temperatures rise to a comfortable level.  Its now that we should all be thinking about saving energy as we turn down the heating and use less lighting as the daylight lasts longer.   Get out in the garden during the week end and avoid sitting in front of the TV, in fact why not switch it off rather than leaving it on standbye to gether with the DVD player, Sky box and Surround Sound system.  If you were lucky enough to have an Enigin Eniscope installed at home you would be able to see the saving this could make for you.  

The time also came for change came when I decided that the old car had to go!  Travelling in to Enigin every day certainly puts the miles on the car.  In my bid to “Save the planet”!! I have reduced my cars engine size from 2000cc to 1600cc which in turn has reduced my insurance costs and my road tax costs.  Its quite painless really just like saving energy the Enigin way.

Enigin - Counting the Beans?

Here at Enigin Its that time of year folks when the beans have to be counted so to speak!  Stock taking is a routine  activity that we all have to undertake to ensure that we know exactly  what is on the shelf.  Maybe it is because the key products of Enigin are really fast movers that we have to keep on top of the  process more often than normal.

Because of the Christmas holidays in the UK this activity which would normally take place at the end of the month has been brought forward to make it easier for our customers by minimising the off-line time we are going to do it before Christmas.  Hopefully the Enigin Ecos system will be back on line by Christmas Eve for those of you that are working over this period.

Enigin - Customs Issues

The winds of change are being felt here at Enigin with international customs clearance agencies becoming more critical with physical checks of imported products. Whilst the increased awareness for security and illegal trafficking heightens the upshot unfortunately means delays in clearance for the customer. Sadly Enigin has no control over these activities. Over the past few months we have been striving to bring all of our systems up to date to ensure that we can ensure that we have done everything possible to smooth the clearance process for our customers. Sadly this does not always work and you can almost guarantee that when a customers order is urgent, the customs clearance agency will intervene and slow up the process.

Customs import duty and taxes are payable by the customer to the customs clearance agencies where applicable. Delays in making these payments can also cause delays in receiving your order. Enigin must point out that we have absolutely no control over how much duty is payable in your particular country for the products you may order.

To these ends, Enigin is undertaking discussions with our own customs and revenue service in an attempt to smooth the service we offer to our customers even more. Hopefully the results of these meetings will clear up any grey area’s we may have. If you do experience problems or you require assistance with issues in your particular country please contact us and we will do what we can to help, as long as it is legal.
