The Ignite Organization
Stream Energy created a separately-branded marketing arm, Ignite, designed to implement a multi-level marketing strategy. Substantively employing the model first pioneered within the consumer services sector by Excel Telecommunications, Ignite associates earn commission through the gathering of energy customers. They also earn income when the sales agents they recruit into the business gather a required number of energy customers. All money paid through the Ignite sales organization is solely attributed to customer gathering activities.
During 2011, the average annual income of associates was $692.58, which represents 89.49% of all associates who are Qualified Directors.
Local meetings known as “Business Presentations” are held to introduce invited parties to the Ignite concept. These meetings are conducted throughout Texas at more than 80 venues on a weekly basis. Independent Associates also maintain Ignite internet-based "homesites" that serve as informational web forums for the education of recruits.
Since its first promotional event held on 27 January 2005, Stream Energy has attracted through this Ignite organization hundreds of thousands of independent associates which, in turn, focus on primarily recruiting individuals from within their "warm market" (family, friends and acquaintances) as prospective electricity customers and future sales agents.

Famous quotes containing the words ignite and/or organization:
“Rice and peas fit into that category of dishes where two ordinary foods, combined together, ignite a pleasure far beyond the capacity of either of its parts alone. Like rhubarb and strawberries, apple pie and cheese, roast pork and sage, the two tastes and textures meld together into the sort of subtle transcendental oneness that we once fantasized would be our experience when we finally found the ideal mate.”
—John Thorne, U.S. cookbook writer. Simple Cooking, “Rice and Peas: A Preface with Recipes,” Viking Penguin (1987)
“The only thing that’s been a worse flop than the organization of non-violence has been the organization of violence.”
—Joan Baez (b. 1941)
