Searching For Sales
For the last 18 months I have been spending most of my time working on a product to help businesses and schools to save money by controlling their Air Conditioners. The device works by controlling mostly Split System A/C units via IR, making the entire system rather affordable. We believe that most businesses will see a payback in 1-2 years. The company is Redshift Wireless. The thing is that I now need your help, my Facebook Friends.
Right now I am looking for sales and sales leads. I am an Engineer, not a sales guy. I have what many people believe is a great product, and it will only get better over time. So, that is where you, my Facebook Friends come in. I now need your help. What I am asking for is that you look around for businesses and organizations with at five or more Split System Air Conditioners or Heat Pumps that are looking to save money on their energy costs.
This might include schools, business parks, retirement villages, some shops, offices and factories. A future product will target hotels and motels. In order to operate, the Air Conditioners must have a remote control. I know that this limits the market a bit, but it is an area of the market that no one is meeting. We are concentrating on businesses, since they are often heavier users of Air Conditioners, and also so that the install cost can be reduced by installing multiple units at once.
The hardware itself is designed to look innocuous when it is mounted on a wall. A lot of thought went into this design, and there is a huge amount of technology embedded into it.
Once installed, the Air Conditioners can then be installed via a Web interface on smart phones, iPhones, Android, Tablets, iPads, PC’s and laptops. Basically, anywhere that internet access is available. The really cool thing is that the interface will work with almost any Air Conditioner on the market without needing to replace what is there. And if you do replace what is there already, we can simply reconfigure the unit to control the new unit.
Now that you know what we do, how can you help. Firstly, we would love some referrals. If you or anyone you know runs a business or organization that could benefit from this technology, please let me us know. I know this is a strange time to be talking about Air Conditioners, but the device also works with heating too. You can also join the Redshift Wireless Facebook page, and share this post. Alternately please feel free to copy and paste the information in this Post into email and forward it on. Below, I have included the text of an email that I have been sending out to friends which contains a heap of information about us.
Thanks for your assistance.. Darryl

As you might be aware, I have recently set up a company called Redshift Wireless. The idea for the first product is to cloud control almost any IR controllable Air Conditioner as a way to save energy. Whilst existing manufacturers of AC units have some units with WiFi, they are focussed on new units. Our focus is on existing stock, and also allowing units to be controlled when the cheapest quote is chosen by another party. The device works by installing a little WiFi module in the same room as the AC unit, and telling it what A/C unit is being used. We can put limits on settings and turn all or groups of units on and off at the same time.
I have a short video explaining this:

I am now needing some help finding people who might be interested in buying such a system, and also people who might be able to assist us with sales and installation. Our ideal market for the product is businesses and institutions (schools) who have at least five split system air conditioners with their own remote controls. Whilst we really do not want to get into the home market, we are happy to provide the solution for our family and friends.
We are working on some other products in the background. One of those is doing this for hotels and motels. In this case, the A/C will be replaced with one of ours that connects to our unit and will provide the same functionality of being able to fully control the Air Conditioner remotely, and override the in-room remote. This would also be useful in properties offered through web sites like AirBNB allowing energy usage to be managed.
I have attached a documents about the hardware and software. The software is cloud based, and constantly evolving it is designed so that we can upgrade it with the features that you need. The idea is also that a manager can monitor all sites at once, and zoom in on what is important to them. A future feature will be an emailed report indicating how many devices were used for how long, what the settings were etc.
