Sales Lady

 I had one of your sales rep knock on my door and invited them in as it was very hot out and she was friendly and said she was just there to help me understand my utility bill better. She asked for my bill which I didn't mind getting since she said that is why she was here and she broke down my bill for me and showed me what all the rates are and meant, I found her very helpful. She then went on to explain to me what SFE energy offers and that I had options when it came to utility rates which I didn't know until now. I decided to sign up as it looked like it would help me and she said we would have to do a verification call to complete the enrollment and other details to confirm my account which was reassuring . Overall I found my experience with her very helpful and she was straightforward, very patient explaining everything to me and wasn't trying to push me to sign anything which I found comforting.

Seamless transition

 The account manager revisited my account history and was able to satisfactorily pinpoint my dissatisfaction with my exorbitant billing Upon joint review we were able to arrive at a fair price moving forward and he was also instrumental in a review of an additional utility account. This was my very first person to person contact with this company and I did not go away disappointed nor unsatisfied.
