BAS modernization and migration planning

Key Responsibilities

1. BAS Service Agreement Sales

• Develop and close new recurring BAS service agreements within the assigned territory and customer base.
• The objective is to build long-term recurring customer relationships, not simply generate individual service calls.

1. Existing KBS Customer Conversion

• A major focus of this position is converting existing KBS customers into formal BAS service agreements.
• The CSR should help customers understand the difference between reactive support and proactive BAS lifecycle management.

1. Kelso Connected & Remote BAS Services

The CSR will position Kelso Connected as a key component of the KBS BAS service strategy.

1. Customer Discovery & Consultative Selling

Use a structured discovery process to understand the customer's:

• Facility portfolio
• BAS platforms
• HVAC equipment
• Operational requirements
• Current maintenance practices
• BAS staffing capabilities
• Existing service providers
• System reliability issues
• Comfort complaints
• Energy concerns
• Alarm-management challenges
• Cybersecurity concerns
• Capital-planning requirements
• System obsolescence
• Reporting expectations

The CSR should ask questions that uncover the business impact of BAS problems rather than focusing exclusively on technical deficiencies.

1. New Customer Business Development

• Develop BAS service opportunities with organizations that do not currently use KBS.

1. Service Agreement Renewals & Retention

• Own or support the commercial renewal process for assigned BAS service agreements.
• Renewal should be treated as an ongoing account-management process, not an event that begins shortly before contract expiration.

1. Account Development

• The CSR is responsible for growing the value of assigned BAS customer relationships.
• The objective is to become the customer's long-term BAS lifecycle partner.

1. Repair & Small Project Opportunities

• Work closely with BAS Field Service Operations and the BAS Parts Coordinator to ensure deficiencies identified during service are addressed.
• The CSR maintains commercial ownership of the customer relationship while technical and operational personnel provide the necessary technical support.

1. Project & Warranty Conversion

• Work with BAS Project Management and Field Service Operations to transition completed BAS projects into recurring service relationships.
• Engage customers during the warranty period to demonstrate the value of our services.

1. Customer Business Reviews

• Conduct periodic customer reviews based upon account size and service level.
• Use these reviews to reinforce KBS value, strengthen customer relationships, and identify additional opportunities.

1. Coordination with KBS Operations

• The CSR is the commercial relationship owner but must maintain close coordination with Operations.

1. CRM & Pipeline Management

• Maintain accurate customer and opportunity information within KBS CRM systems.
• Sales activity should provide leadership with reliable visibility into the BAS service pipeline.

1. BAS Platforms

• The CSR does not need to be a BAS programmer but should develop sufficient technical knowledge to confidently discuss BAS service requirements across major platforms.
• The CSR should understand that KBS's value is its ability to provide a system-agnostic service approach across diverse customer portfolios.
