Generate High Quality Leads With Performance Testing

Mike Hartman

Most homeowners (and competitors), are unaware that the average HVAC system performs at 57% efficiency. Static pressure testing and a few other quick measurements during service and maintenance visits are the best way to expose these poorly performing systems. Learn how to share this critical information with your customers to help them discover and understand the hidden problems that rob them of the comfort and efficiency they should be getting!

Done right, a few simple tests will generate high quality leads with virtually no competition and very high conversion rates. In this highly interactive hands-on session, Mike and David will demonstrate proper testing techniques and how to explain test results, gain customer interest, and hand-off the lead.

Turn High-Performance Leads Into Appointments

Nancy McKeraghan

While it’s true that “nothing happens until someone sells something”, no HVAC service or installation sale is ever made without first setting an appointment. When the customer has been handled well and properly prepared by the office staff, your sales and service team are better positioned to hit a home run during each appointment.

In this session, Nancy and David will share methods high-performance contractors use to ensure their frontline office team consistently creates “wow” experiences for customers that result in more appointments and increased sales.

Dawn and John will take you through each step of a well-oiled process to minimize frustration, reduce mis-steps, and ensure success for all. Discover how a sales team and installation team can better communicate and work together to produce amazing High-Performance System installations
