2. Problem Solution – Communicating and Providing the appropriate solution
There are two segments to providing the proper solution, communicating the solution in a way that resonates with and is understandable to consumers and then delivering a viable solution in a profitable and affordable manner. We will learn what contractors are doing both in terms of communication and delivery as they continue to thrive in this new normal.

5. Marketing Plan – How are you redefining yourself during this time
Who are you? This is a question philosophers and marketers alike have been asking since the beginning of thought. With every major disruption comes a time of discovery and redefining of one’s self. Here is how HVAC contractors are redefining their business, roles within their business, and the solutions that they deliver.
6. Customer Reaches Out – Where are you
Consumer behavior has changed drastically and all the things that had worked in the past to attract customers most likely are not as effective today. Hear how other contractors across the country are thriving in attracting customer segments that historically were not doing business with them.
7. Appointment Made – Momentum
The thing about momentum is that it starts off slowly and begins to pick up speed and sometimes mass as well. Many HVAC contractors have made changes within their customer service approach and those changes are starting to build momentum in those organizations. Learn what changes HVAC contractors are making and how these changes are beginning to build momentum within their organization.
