Your green business success starts here.

The impact of not having a local Certified Eco Consultant travel back and forth to your office can be substantial, ranging from wear and tear on their vehicle, keeping another car off the road, less gasoline being consumed, and other travel-related costs including lodging (depending on how far they may have to travel).

A Certified Eco Consultant is qualified to evaluate your operation, offer marketing, management, and purchasing advice, and will have numerous ideas to help grow your business in a more sustainable way.

Unlike a typical “inspector” who might want or need to walk through your office or facilities with white gloves and a clipboard — perhaps secretly hoping to find hidden problems that may make you defensive — a Certified Eco consultant can easily email you a “Green Practices Assessment” that you can honestly fill out at your convenience and then send back to him or her.

Once done, a Certified Eco Consultant can review it and provide you with time and money saving suggestions and an Eco Action Plan to help you reach your goals.

Sure, there are naysayers out there who have such a low opinion of humanity that they think that anything less than having some stuffed suit personally inspecting your business or organization can and will lead to “green washing.”

However, the fact of the matter is, most business owners and managers would not go out of their way to hire a Certified Eco Consultant and spend their valuable time filling out a Green Practices Assessment, and then provide false answers simply so they can hang a “Green Certification” on their wall. For the same time, money, and effort, most business owners and managers would be interested in telling the truth, while revealing all the dents, warts, and imperfections, in view and out of view, with the knowledge that a Certified Eco consultant will provide them with an Eco Action Plan to help them fix problems, resolve issues, and ultimately help their client go green.

Another benefit to hiring the best Certified Eco Consultant you can find — no matter where they are — and receiving your consultation via phone or video conferencing is that all communications can be recorded. If someone on your team has an inevitable conflict, they can still hear a tape and feel connected, and you can refer back to the suggestions from your Certified Eco Consultant at your convenience.

So when the time comes for you to hire an Certified Eco Consultant, don’t be fooled or impressed by companies claiming to have “the largest army” (or whatever terms they choose) of Eco or Green Consultants, and that you can find one in a town near you. The fact is, you can easily go on line, find one of the best, interview them for the job, find out their experience, get references, and hire the best — even if they are far away. After all, you deserve the best, and now you know that hiring a virtual Eco Consultant is earth friendly.

Partnership create training program to educate designers on green home staging techniques and strategies to identify and create green features in homes that are for sale.

April 26, 2010

NAPLES, FL — The Earth Savers Institute (ESI) and Envision Eco Solutions announced today that they have formed a long-term agreement to offer The Green Staging Professional™ training program to Designers, Eco Entrepreneurs, Green Realtors, Real Estate Investors, and Homeowners.

Green Staging has the potential to give homeowners the marketing appeal they need in today’s challenging real estate market. Green staging is the process of identifying and creating green features in homes that appeal to homebuyers who want to save money, reduce their carbon footprint, and desire a healthier home to live in. The idea has recently gained traction in the real estate market. Homebuyers are becoming increasingly attracted to the features that green homes offer. As a result of this demand, home stagers are now incorporating sustainable principles into their staging work.

“Our students can learn the entire process of becoming a Green Staging Professional today with this new course,” said Frank Buday, CEO of Envision Eco Solutions. “Students will learn which home features will reduce energy and water consumption and how that translates into economic benefits for the homeowner. They will learn about materials and products in a home that may be polluting indoor air and which alternative materials and products to use that are healthier.”

Jam-Packed Course

Examples and pictures of sustainable decorating ideas prepare students to adopt a new mindset when staging. The course offers ideas for alternative products and materials that can be used for decorating that are environmentally friendly. Students will learn why these products and materials are better for the home and the environment. The Instructor explains how green homes are marketed and why green features in a home will differentiate it from other homes on the market. Also included is where to find information on tax incentives and rebates for specific product purchases.

“We were planning on offering a Green Staging Program in Fall 2010, but then we became friendly with Frank and determined that his course was just what we were hoping to create, so we teamed up to be able to make a bigger impact in this industry,” said Scott Cardinal, Founder of the Earth Savers Institute. “This fabulous course give students everything they need so they can launch their Green Staging Business within days of completing this program. To further entice students, the Earth Savers Institute has packaged this course with a few valuable bonuses, including an eBook and a FREE Membership to their monthly Bright Green People program.”

A Green Staging Professional will help make a home appealing to homebuyers without the need for expensive remodeling. They will also educate the homeowner about improvements that often result in a direct return on investment at sale and how to effectively communicate the value of green features to buyers.

An expertly green staged home has features that reduce energy and water consumption, improve the indoor air quality, reduce the home’s carbon footprint, and inhibit a natural, eco-friendly look and feel in accordance with sustainable principles. Many of the green features that Green Staging Professionals advise homeowners to create will result in cost savings for the new homeowner without the need for reduced comfort. A Green Staging Professionals also practices sound recycling and waste reduction methods and the furniture and staging props they use were chosen with sustainable principles in mind.

“The Earth Savers Institute is currently the largest green virtual company of its kind, but quality means more to us than anything,” said Cardinal. “That is why we are working with Frank Buday. In addition to being a LEED® Green Associate, Green Staging Professional™, and Green Business Strategist, he is an authentic, honest, and passionate individual. It is a pleasure to have him aboard the Earth Savers Institute.”

The Benefits of the Green Staging Professional Training Program

Students get everything they need to become a Green Staging Professional. This program is based on Frank Buday’s actual experience in the field over the last 5 years. In addition to learning about green decorating, ideas for advertising a new green staging service will also be discussed. The course closes with a chapter on eco-friendly lifestyle changes that can be given to homeowners so they may prepare for a new eco-friendly lifestyle in their new home.

There is compelling research that shows home staging will often result in a higher sales price and faster sale of the home. Green staging now offers the opportunity to create additional value for the homeowner and strengthen the home’s marketing appeal in a challenging real estate market.

Online Training Is Eco Friendly

The Earth Savers Institute offers its services Online, which is very appealing to individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses everywhere; particularly those outside of major cities or where there are no Instructors offering “green collar” courses and training.

“It will be a long while before local colleges and universities offer these types of courses,” said Cardinal. “Until that day, interested individuals should consider going the virtual route. The Earth Savers Institute is at the forefront of this trend by working with clients throughout the U.S.A., Canada, Europe, and most recently South Africa, China, and Australia.”

WHAT IS GREEN STAGING?

Green staging is the process of identifying and creating green features in homes that appeal to homebuyers who want to save money and desire a healthier home to live in. Green staging adds a new element to the home staging process. In addition to the aesthetic, economic, and functional considerations taken into account when prepping a home for sale, green staging emphasizes sustainable practices that consider the long term consequences of products and practices as well.
A Green Staging Professional™ will view the home from a whole-house approach understanding that factors such as environmental and health considerations must be examined in addition to what is appealing. The result is a home that reflects not only beauty and allure but environmental stewardship and occupant health.
A green staged home brings many benefits that may not otherwise have existed. Realtors gain a significant marketing advantage for the home, homebuyers are informed of the health, environmental, and economic advantages of the home, and the home’s carbon footprint is decreased, which is beneficial to us all. All of these factors are intended to increase the value of the home and/or sell it faster.

Most green homes are new construction homes. Since new homes are built from scratch, builders have the opportunity to create many green features in the home, including the use of rapidly renewing materials and double-paned windows. In addition, they are able to strategically build the home to yield the most amount of daylight, which will reduce energy costs. However, existing homes can embody many green features as well. While the structure of the home can not necessarily change, there are many strategies and products that can be integrated into the home to make the home “greener” and reduce its carbon footprint. Many of these changes do not require a significant investment. Green Staging Professionals™ are utilized for their expertise on which features to create and how to create them.

Emerging demand for green homes is changing the way all homes are designed, built, remodeled and sold. All professionals involved in the home selling process need to adapt their skills and knowledge so they are familiar with the green home features that appeal to homebuyers. A Green Staging Professional™ possesses this knowledge and is skilled at presenting their client’s home in a way that emphasizes the green features that homebuyers desire.

WHAT DOES A GREEN STAGING PROFESSIONAL™DO?

A Green Staging Professional™ aids a homeowner in creating the green features in their home that buyers are looking for including energy and water efficiency, quality indoor air, and a lower carbon footprint. Green Staging Professionals™ know which existing features of the home to distinguish as “green” that will ultimately enhance the home’s marketing appeal.

WHY BECOME A GREEN STAGING PROFESSIONAL™?

Due to rising demand for green homes and green features, existing home owners need to create and advertise the green features of their home in order to remain competitive in the housing market.
Homebuyers are becoming more aware of the benefits of green homes such as their energy efficient features, which yield cost savings for the homeowner. Buyers desire these green features as the benefits become more obvious.
Due to this demand, homeowners need expert guidance on how to cater to this rapidly rising market when they choose to sell their home. If homeowners do not adapt, they may find it increasingly difficult to sell their home, especially in today’s competitive housing market. Green Staging Professionals™ service this market by providing the service of green staging to their clients.

We have created a training curriculum and support structure to aid you in providing this service. The Green Staging Professional™ designation is a standard in the industry that proves you are knowledgeable in green staging and are able to create green features in a home that will ultimately add value and / or reduce time on market.

Becoming a Green Staging Professional™ will add a competitive edge to your staging business by giving you the knowledge to advise your clients on how to make their home eco-friendly. Even if a client is not interested in investing in upgrades or products to make their home environmentally friendly, many existing homes already have features that can be marketed as green. They may just be difficult to recognize. We will teach you what to look for when staging a home so you can recognize these existing green features for the homeowner. We will also teach you ways you can reduce the carbon footprint of your staging business. Reusable materials, recycled and salvaged props, proper waste reduction practices, and green decorating strategies are just a few of the topics we will cover in the training course to help you make your staging business sustainable.

Upon completing the course, we will also provide you with the following resources as a supplement to your training:
A green staging checklist that can be used as a guide during your staging consultations. It will provide you an itemized list of green features to look for in the home.
A press release template to communicate your new Green Staging Professional™ designation to clients via your website, e-mail or other media outlet.
A template report to present to clients with your recommended green changes.
A “Green Report” to give to homebuyers highlighting the economic, health, and environmental advantages of the home.
A profile page in our Green Staging Professional™ directory so clients can find you via our website. Your profile will also allow you to network with other Green Staging Professionals™ by sharing pictures, videos, joining groups, and exchanging ideas, tips, and other information.
Subscription to our newsletter which includes updates and news to keep you informed of the latest trends in the green home and green staging market.

Green business expert, Glenn Croston, the author of “Starting Green” and “75 Green Businesses”, can help you succeed with practical and innovative solutions. The question isn’t if you can afford to go green, but if you can afford not to. Whatever question you have, whatever challenge you have encountered, get in touch and we can get started finding cost effective solutions that move your business forward.

Finding the Right Opportunity to Start Your Own Business

If you’re looking for new opportunities, the green business world is full of them. Green business is one of the most important business trends of our time, and you don’t have to be an environmentalist or an engineer to be a part of it. The question is not whether there are opportunities you can pursue, but which opportunity is best for you. As the author of “75 Green Businesses” and a widely recognized green business expert, Glenn Croston can help you find the green opportunity that works for you using the Resource Inventory Self Evaluation (RISE) to walk you through five simple questions:

1. What professional experience do you have?

2. What internal resources do you have (skills, talents and knowledge)?

3. What external resources do have (time, money, equipment, car, office)?

4. Where do you live and how does this shape opportunities for you?

5. What do you love?

There are green opportunities for people from almost any background, including your unique blend of experience, knowledge, talents, skills, and interests. Glenn Croston will work directly with you to find the business opportunity that fits you best. The initial consultation by email is free to see if the RISE evaluation is the right tool for your current needs.

Partnership Helps Create “Eco Rock Stars” Who Can Make Positive Impacts In Their Communities

April 22, 2010

NAPLES, FL — The Earth Savers Institute (ESI) and Simcoe Consulting announced today that they have formed a long-term agreement to offer Green Consultant Training and Coaching, and to create exclusive eBooks, Presentations, tele-seminars, comprehensive courses to Eco Entrepreneurs, Green Real Estate Investors, and to provide winning strategies for businesses and organizations.

Green is the biggest opportunity for any business or real estate investment company

“Billions in rebates/incentives and skyrocketing consumer demand make green a gateway to increased profits, new customers, and can elevate any brand,” said Jim Simcoe, Green Business Strategist and Speaker. “It’s arguably one of the most fashionable new careers to get into. Right now, the demand for green-consultants is much greater than the supply. If one is ambitions, he or she can have a successful career by helping people go green.”

Eco Entrepreneurs can learn the entire process of becoming an eco-consultant today with a new course that covers everything from home audits, marketing a green business, green sales skills, and more. Students can start a green-consulting business within 3 days of completing this program. The Eco-Consultant Training Program gives students everything they need so that they can launch their business immediately.

“The Earth Savers Institute is currently the largest green virtual company of its kind, but quality means more to us than anything,” said Scott Cardinal, Green Lifestyle Designer and Eco Educator. “That is why we are working with Jim Simcoe. In addition to being experienced, authentic, and passionate about helping others go green and become more sustainable, he is a truly bright and kind gentleman and good friend. It is a pleasure to have him aboard the Earth Savers Institute.”

Online Training, Coaching and Certification Is Eco Friendly

The Earth Savers Institute offers its services Online, which is very appealing to businesses everywhere; particularly those outside of major cities or where there are no Eco Consultants or Coaches.

“It will be a long while before Eco Consultants and Coaches are as common as local Realtors or Interior Designers.

Battling Green Washing

Simcoe Consulting and other high quality programs can get lost in the deluge of green washing “green training” companies that are becoming more and more prevalent.

“It is troubling to think about, but there are websites out there, promoting themselves as the biggest or the best ‘green trainers,’ and charging exorbitant amounts to take their courses that, in the end, have little to no value real value,” said Cardinal. “It is repulsive that these snake oil salesmen can get away with this these days, but many operate under different domain names, with different websites and blogs, and travel around the country, and move on quickly, leaving a wake of disappointment behind them. To battle these green washers, the Earth Savers Institute’s mission is to partner with the best of the best, such as Jim Simcoe, Glenn Croston, and others. Our mission is to exceed expectations. We want people to get more than their money’s worth.

Consulting With The Best

The Internet has had a positive impact on the consulting business. No longer does a business have to settle for working with a local consultant, in any line of work.

The Magick Cleanse is the first course offered through the School of Rawk. “Our bodies are constantly being bombarded with things to process: from food to environmental stress and toxins,” Said Raw Foods Witch and Instructor, Nathalie Lussier. “One way that has been used all over the world to give the body time and space to heal and detoxify is through fasting. The Magick Cleanse, commonly known as the Master Cleanse, and the Lemonade Fast is one of the most widely practiced fasts.

This course will help you understand the process of cleansing, as well as what to expect during and after the cleanse. You’ll have everything you need to get started, and you can return to watch the videos during your fast if you need more support or clarity. 

Most people who complete this fast feel a sense of increased confidence, energy, and vitality.”

The School of Rawk is a division of The Earth Savers Institute, which is the largest Green Virtual School of its kind in the world. “Our original courses were strictly devoted to training eco consultant and sustainability specialists,” said Earth Savers Institute founder Scott Cardinal. “But we started offering courses on vegetarianism, veganism, organic food, and now raw food because those areas are so closely linked to environmentalism, which is part of the core mission of the Earth Savers Institute.”

The School Of Rawk will continue to add more educational courses that appeal to the green, earth-friendly, socially conscious, healthy living crowd, including eBooks, live workshops, and free raw vegan recipes.

About The Raw Foods Witch
This Raw Foods Witch is Nathalie Lussier. Raw food has been a transformational tool in her life: it got her from being addicted to junk food and meat to loving vegetables and rocking the kitchen. She makes a mean green smoothie.

The Raw Foods Witch is all about taking a holistic approach to healing yourself and your relationship to food. The Raw Foods Witch believes raw foods can heal you on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level because she personally experienced it herself. The Raw Foods Witch site is full of recipes, how-to videos, and articles that will deepen your knowledge of health, wellness, and eating raw foods. Check out the website: http://rawfoodswitch.com/
