How to present your tactics and action plan

Tactics to affect the Three C’s.

Tactics are your route to delivering your strategy and achieving your objectives.

They are specific workflows and go into detail on how you will deliver your energy strategy over its relevant period.

This should be the chunkiest section of your document and should form a logical roadmap to achieving your objectives.

Presentation is important. Often, tactics are displayed in a large downwardly flowing table with the objectives along the top and chronological processes flowing beneath them.

However, this can sometimes make it difficult to present.

Tactics can be presented creatively. Perhaps in the style of a development roadmap or stops on a train track to your ultimate destination. But it is essential that they are communicated effectively and the presentation does not detract from the emphasis you put on the key channels and actions.

This is the engine room of your strategy. The day-to-day tasks and any associated costs they will incur.

Include a budget page within this section, but ensure any spend is justified and you know how NOT spending this money would affect your ability to deliver your objectives so you can explain its importance. Ensure the link between spend and objectives is clear.

Smarter business switching.

Just like comparison websites, Procure Smart earns commission as a proportion of your spend for each referral we make to a supplier.  For most service types, we will not bill you directly.  More detail can be found in our terms and conditions.

Procure Smart is a distruptor in B2B switching.  We are doing things differently to put more power in the hands of UK businesses and make switching faster, simpler and more transparent.

We will reach out to contact you and establish your needs without pestering you excessively.  From there, we’ll present prices and explain our recommendation.

Our Procurement Solutions Managers are experts at what they do with decades of experience in contract negotiation.

We do much more for customers than simply provide great deals.  From advice on the market to negotiating plans with suppliers, Procure Smart has helped many businesses access contracts who would otherwise have been left on out-of-contract rates.

We’re always pro-actively engaging with suppliers and the market, meaning we can advise on the most advantageous time to switch contracts.

As with most procurement processes, larger purchases can result in improved deals via economy of scale.

However, this can lead to incredible levels of complexity.  That’s where we come in, taking a painful task off your hands and handing it to an expert with access to systems and relationships to accelerate the process.

You can negotiate a new contract no matter the stage of your deal.  New deals can concurrently run automatically following your current contract.

It is important to note that agreed contracts are legally binding and must be honoured.

Switch Savvi is smart enough to handle out-of-contract customers.

The system will set your live date to the earliest possible date with your chosen supplier.  This is usually approximately 5 days from now. 

This is all subject to lock-in confirmation with your chosen supplier.

NOTE: switching suppliers can be blocked by your current supplier even if you’re out of contract in the event that you have unpaid debt on your meter.

The best way to reduce costs is to reduce usage!

We can help you create a holistic energy strategy, which will assess all commercial options, including energy management.

From technology to monitoring to renewable generation, we can help you plot the most efficient way forward.

Not immediately, but soon.

Once your contract has passed our quality checks, it will be sent to the supplier to be “locked-in”.  This process takes less than one business day.  If you have completed your deal on Switch Savvi Mon-Fri, we will contact you within 24 hours with any issues. If it’s a weekend, we will contact you on Monday with any issues

Once a supplier confirms a deal is locked in, Procure Smart’s Quality Team will email you with confirmation.  At this stage you have legally agreed the contract in line with Procure Smart’s terms and conditions.

At this point, you have switched savvi!
