NCI Idea Meeting

---

Attendees have the opportunity to join fellow contractors and share their latest and greatest ideas AND have a chance to win CASH prizes!

All contractor attendees are invited to present their ideas. ALL participants were winners, whether they choose to present an idea or not, as they benefitted from hearing all of the ideas shared in this learning environment!

TAKE LOTS OF NOTES!

The Idea Meeting this year is divided into three consecutive sessions, each taking about 30 minutes. Each session focuses on one of the following categories: Lead Generation, Sales Approach and Product Delivery – The key elements of your success in Home and HVAC Performance. Contractors present their best ideas on company practices, marketing, departmental processes, etc., in each of these categories!

This high-energy meeting is a perfect chance to hear fresh ideas from other successful contractors. It certainly stimulates additional conversations between peers.

The $20 cash entry fee, per attendee, is used to reward presenters of the best ideas! Three First Place Winners, one from each category, are voted on by all attendees in the Idea Meeting.

All cash collected from entry fees are split among the winners!

Generate High Quality Leads With Performance Testing

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! Speakers: Mike Hartman and David Richardson

Turn High-Performance Leads Into Appointments

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. Speakers: Nancy McKeraghan and David Holt

Performance-Based Selling in 12 Steps: From Test to Proposal

A Performance-Based sales call is quite different from the typical industry sales processes that focus on just selling “boxes.” When executed correctly, it can be highly effective in closing more sales and delighting your customers. The key is doing the right things at the right time. Speakers: Michael Hyde and Rob Falke.

The Handoff Can Make All the Difference

When sales closes a job, the next step is to get it installed. Do your install guys “roll their eyes” when they get the “work order”? Are they getting the right information to ensure a successful and profitable completion? The handoff can make or break the quality and profitability of your installations. Speakers: Dawn Vickers-Mroczek and John Puryear

Become Your Local Carbon Monoxide Evangelist
