Webinar: The Numbers Tell the Story: Analyzing the 2024 Energy Industry Survey

Presented by: Marty Kirshner, Gray, Gray & Gray, LLP Overview: There is no easy day for an energy marketer. The challenges facing heating oil and propane companies in Pennsylvania – and across the country – are many faceted and seem to be growing by the day. That’s the takeaway from Gray, Gray & Gray’s 2024 Energy Industry Survey, a nationwide poll which has taken the pulse of energy dealers for the past 33 years. Nationally recognized management advisor Marty Kirshner will review this year’s survey results, what they mean for dealers in Pennsylvania, and what guidance they can deliver for strategic planning.

Among the issues to be discussed are:
•    Workforce development – What works in hiring and retaining qualified employees?
•    Electrification – Where will liquid fuels fit in tomorrow’s energy spectrum?
•    Diversification – Can a broader base of products and services build financial stability?
•    Inflation – Despite assurances to the contrary, high costs continue to squeeze margins. What are some effective cash flow management techniques?
•    Technology – Can advanced technology help streamline operations and reduce overhead?
•    Cybersecurity – The targeting of smaller and mid-size companies by cyber thieves is impacting the energy supply chain. What should you be doing to defend your business?
•    M&A – For those interested in buying or selling, what does the market look like?
