When I created this blog, Mr. Ian Wrigley sent me a letter telling me that I was not allowing others to also give an opinion about his "business". That is simply false. Anyone can see that this blog is open to anyone's comments.
I invite anyone who wishes to publish a comment to do so...either negative or positive.
I only ask something to anyone posting comments positive towards Enigin and/or Best: please provide links on the internet of companies successfully developing Enigin's and or Best's business model (*). If someone could prove that this business model works fine (which no one will be able to prove, as it simply doesn't work except for Mr. Wrigley's pocket), then I would admit that I was in error (which I'm not!).
I encourage readers who have had an experience with Mr. Wrigleys business proposals to let his/her comment!
(*) Do the following test: Google "Eniscope". You'll get dozens of entries of web sites, blogs and news containing theword Eniscope published by Mr. Wrigley's online marketing team. But you won't find entries from companies successfully selling Eniscopes. You may only find very few entries from companies who are still trying to sell these products, which they will remove after a couple of years of unsuccessful promotion, as it happend to me and other Spanish entrepreneurs who invested in Mr. Wrigley's proposals.
This is my experience since I got in touch with Enigin (now called BEST), a British company proposing entrepreneurs to start an energy efficiency business
Jose - thanks for sharing your experience. It is an eye opener. You have saved my time and money upfront :)
ResponderEliminarJose - Thanks a lot for your experience. Now, I have been in conversations about to use this technology in my country, around 2 times and by e-mail. I almost make a deal with this people, you have saved my time and money.
ResponderEliminarThank you very very much!
Best regards,
Edwin
Many Thanks for saving my money Josh. I was about to lose my money to BEST but thankfully came across your blog. Later realised that same product is also claimed by another company in Neatherland.
ResponderEliminarGod bless you.
Hi Jose: We were considering doing business with BEST technologies, is it truly a scam? Tom Jordan, Senior Project Manager, Energy Solutions USA.

Hello Sir:
ResponderEliminarI too am a paying member of Mr. Wrigley's scam, having been milked in summer of 2017. After they had my cash, I found out that the one product I was interested in selling (3 phase motor controllers) were not approved for sale in Canada. Nobody would risk installing them since they were illegal to use - not to mention the potential liability all around of doing so. Of course when I was being sold on the idea of forking over my cash I had been assured that their products were all CSA approved.
Once they were informed otherwise, BEST sent me a link to a testing agency regarding supposed pending approval for these devices. The pending approval was listed under the business name "Somar International Ltd" of Cornwell, UK. (another name to go with the bunch - Somar, Enigen, Suresense, BEST and who knows what is next). I did a little research on Somar and found that that company had been dissolved in 2013.
Meanwhile, I tried to promote the controllers in anticipation of approval. These units could pay for themselves IF THEY ACTUALLY WORK. Then I ran into another situation. I had gained two very good prospective customers. One was an industrial company who used many high horsepower motors and could benefit substantially from the energy savings. The other was a control systems manufacturer who saw the benefits for their clients. I met in person with the one and by telephone with the other on numerous occasions. Proposals were drafted and information provided. The numbers were a no brainer and all seemed positive en route to substantial orders - UNTIL suddenly ALL communication with both entities ceased abruptly. They would not answer my calls, return calls after leaving messages, respond to texts or answer an e-mail - NOTHING. I tried for several months before dropping the effort.
It is my opinion that one of two things happened. Either both companies had the good sense to do their diligent research on BEST in time to avoid getting caught and pretty much at exactly the same time OR the good leads I was submitting to BEST (for MY protection, no less) were quickly being signed up as "Partners" so that sales could be transacted directly at wholesale cost. I suspect that my good prospects are now BEST partners. Nobody can compete with their supplier.
At this stage I am not prepared to risk actually selling these products to anyone. Imagine the financial pain of supplying a large order (prepaid to BEST, of course) and then ending up with the customer refusing to pay for something that won't work or is not approved for use. As for the Eniscope contraption, if I were to install the one unit I have in my own home, the monthly service fees to BEST would increase my electricity bill by more than 10%.
I am cutting my losses.
Jim Buhr, AGS Sales Ltd.
I am currently the founder and owner of EnergyCloud an energy monitoring company where have successfully deployed over 200 BEST Eniscopes in complex installations including Airports, banks, buildings, industry and supermarkets.
ResponderEliminarThis business is not easy, but reading these remarks I just had to chime in and shine some light that there is nothing wrong with the products. I see more of a problem of someone who does not have the skills to setup a proper management company. We employ several engineers which is what is required to provide value for clients and use the tools (that what monitoring is) in order to achieve results for our clients.
I call out Jose, to explain to me what he knows about IPmVP, ISO50001, LEED, or any energy management methodology to explain how it is that EMS systems are supposed to be deployed.
Kind regards,

Dear Mr. Flores: I see that almost half year after your post, your website is still inoperative, with the message "WE ARE WORKING HARD ON WEBSITE DON’T MISS THE LAUNCH OF OUR NEW,MODIFIED WEBSITE". I Am amazed to see how your company has already sold 200 Eniscopes but your corporate web still is nonexistent...Regarding energy saving methods, I'm Senior Industrial Engineer since 40 years ago (I'm now 64) and I learnt many things during these years so if you wish, I'll be glad to teach you everything you wish to learn.
ResponderEliminarThankyou for your information much appreciated.
