Business Description: In many ways, the Apex Energy Solutions story is a classic entrepreneur story--the tale of a young man who one day sat down in a coffee shop and sketched out a vision based on a little experience and a lot of belief that there had to be a better way. For Michael Foit, Founder of Apex Energy Group, that caffeine-infused inspiration came from the belief that there had to be a better way to help homeowners improve their homes. An aspiring actor and part-time bartender, Foit had taken a "temporary" job in replacement window sales, and, while he liked the work, he didn't care for the industry's sales practices, quality standards or approach to customer service. He saw opportunity...to set himself apart by delivering high-quality, energy-efficient products...to distinguish his company by offering cutting-edge technology and time-honored craftsmanship...and to differentiate his firm by not simply selling to homeowners, but by educating them to make sensible decisions. To support this vision, Foit landed on his now-trademarked "flipside" sales technique that eschews conventional advertising and traditional marketing approaches to focus instead on a more credible approach that targets carefully selected markets and seeks first to build reputation and then to recruit customers.6 Foit backed that innovative technique by offering only the finest products-products such as the Alside Signature 8000 Series Window. Already capable of meeting label requirements proposed for the 2012 ENERGY STAR program, the Signature 8000 blends state-of-the-art technology with old-world style to give you everything you should expect from a fine window, form advanced triple-glazed glass packages to hand-soldered leaded stained glass. It's been only a little more than a decade since Foit sat in that coffee shop sketching out his vision, but that's all the time Apex Energy Solutions needed to become a leader in the home remodeling trade and one of the fastest-growing companies in the nation. With it's mission of "Realizing Energy Efficiency through Education" and a dedication to the best products, installation and service, Apex continues to pursue the lofty vision reflected in it's name. *Recognized by Window & Door Magazine as "Dealer of the year" in 2007 *Opened "Living Showroom Concept" in 2008 *Recipient of Alside's " Dealer Excellence" Award in 2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009 and 2010 *Opened Minneapolis location in 2008 *Opened Charlotte, NC, Denver, CO, and Kansas City, MO, in 2009 *Opened Nashville, TH, and Washington, DC in 2010
