During session 1, we covered the importance of developing a plan & Leadership
In session 2, we covered the tools and resources available to you to help you thrive in a new normal by going virtual.
In session 3, it’s all about people! This is not a weather driven business, a comfort business or about furnaces and air conditioners. It is all about people, it is about the people in your organization connecting with people in your community in order to help one another out. When you help enough people get what they are looking for, you will ultimately receive everything and more of what you are looking for.
Before the world changed you have heard there’s a talent shortage! You heard it from almost everyone you talked to in the HVAC industry. The only thing worse than not being able to hire people is when you pair it with the inability to keep the employees that you have.
The world has changed! Simply put, your business needs a finely tuned talent engine to survive and thrive in the future.
Transactional benefits let your customers feel smart, where experiential benefits let them feel special. Both have an emotional impact.
In the 1950s, marketers used to tell people how they should feel about a brand. Today, that brand promise is the experience. Often, the experience precedes the messaging. A loyalty program that combines experiential and transactional elements gives consumers a greater stake in the brand.
The balance between transactional and emotional benefits helps a brand attract and retain more customers.
Material benefits are certainly important to customers, but they also want to receive special treatment. Since the power has shifted from marketers to consumers, listening to and understanding your customers is the most important thing a brand can do to develop true and lasting loyalty.
In today’s loyalty landscape, if you don’t show your customers that you value them, they will look elsewhere. It’s that simple. Combining transactional benefits and experiential benefits is the best way to engage the most consumers with your brand. There isn’t a choice anymore. You must do both.

Suppose you were to come upon someone in the woods working feverishly to chopping down a tree. “What are you doing?” you ask. “Can’t you see?” come the impatient reply. “I’m cutting down this tree.” “You look exhausted!” you exclaim. “How long have you been at it?” Over five hours,” he returns, “and I’m beat! This is hard work.” “Well, why don’t you take a break for a few minutes and sharpen that ax?” you inquire. “I’m sure it would go a lot faster.” “I don’t have time to sharpen the ax.” The man says empathetically. “I’m too busy!”
