Magical Quotes:

“Oh, education. That’s specific to a certain path, like the plumbing path. That’s what they should call it. Path.”
 We’re getting some diversity in this group because, honestly, 
when I started,, and they were interviewing me, one of the first things they said is, we want to encourage the next generation of the younger people because that’s what we’re missing. 
 women specifically.”
 we have an auxiliary, which is based, you know, 
the auxiliary is basically it used to be the Wives Club, but it’s now, like all of the  individuals, spouses or,  people that work for a member, companies that want to give back and support our members and support the trades as a whole. that’s o
your auxiliary.
 If you own an HVAC company or a plumbing company, or an 
electrical company, for that matter, then you need to understand
the benefits that some of your customers can take advantage of. Because if they find out that they had this opportunity 
and you didn’t tell them about it, I promise you, you just lost a customer for the rest of your life, and that will be a lot.
 Educate your sales team, and educate your service technicians. 
Educate your CSRs, because if you can recognize these opportunities before you get to the house, then you know exactly how to   
position yourself before you get there. But that’s all. Doing some homework.
 So even if you miss them because our schedules are insane, you 
can always log in as a member to the PHCC National website 
and see all the recordings.”
This is why you join your association. So you know about all of the 
things coming down the pike, and you also know about the legislative Association
Our families grow up together.
TAssociationhebestthings about
businesses are generational. And so their families have grown literally up together and watched their kids, and other kids take over and
grandkids. It’s insane and awesome.
