Earlier this year at the Aquatherm National Dealer meeting Eric Howarth, from EGIA, presented an opportunity for all of you to sign up for their financing programs. Not only is financing a great way to offer homeowners additional options for payment with the CSI program looming in California, there are thousands of smaller commercial pools that could benefit from financing options.

Eric spoke about the <strong>Geosmart Financing Program</strong> that is available to all of you. The cost to join is only $250 per year and Master Dealers may use their coop funds towards membership. EGIA offers multiple programs to suit your needs including unsecured loan programs with financing of up to $40,000. Please contact me directly if you are interested in financing programs and I will connect you with Eric.

Aquatherm regularly sends out <strong>press releases</strong> to promote new projects, announce new products and happenings to the industry. It is also an opportunity for us to promote your noteworthy commercial projects as well. They do not need to be large projects to be considered for a press release so please send us any and all projects that you are proud of and we will consider them for a future release.

On to the numbers, amazingly enough the top three in each category were the same!<strong> Mark Naylor</strong> is the top salesman and Dealer in the country for March with 52 sales and 392 collectors sold! Amazing month Mark! Coming in 2nd with 25 sales and 294 collectors is <strong>Bill Long</strong> from Stilwell Solar. Fabulous job Bill and the entire team at Stilwell! Rounding out the top three is a tie between <strong>Bill Park</strong> from Central Florida Solar and <strong>Dennis Esposito</strong> from Performance Solar with 23 sales and 161 collectors each for March. Marvelous March, Bill and Dennis!!
