  4. SALES AND BUSINESS MANAGEMENT CLASSES HVAC BUSINESS MANAGEMENT Two days of tips, exercises, statistics and formulas, designed to give you the edge over your competition. Included in the discussion are flat rate pricing, job pricing, labor rates, business growth, collections, gross margin vs. markup, labor burdens, overhead control, cash flow, sales commissions, service agreements and other topics to facilitate the growth of your bottom line profits. Stop losing money when pricing labor intensive jobs. This class is not a lecture, worksheets and examples will help you solve “real life” business problems. Start making more profit tomorrow by investing in your future today! TUITION $ 275 CLASS DATES: Oct. 28-29, 02 / Jan. 13-14, 03 April 7-8, 03 / May 22-23, 03 Aug. 4-5, 03 / Oct. 27-28, 03 DISTRIBUTOR SALES Long term relationships, not one time selling, is the key for successful distributor sales people. Be-come a Sales Consultant, and have your dealers looking forward to your calls, rather than avoiding them. The distributor sales class explores territory management, selling beyond price, handling com-mon objections, understanding problem customers and developing a meaningful sales presentation. A segment of the seminar also deals with helping your established dealers sell more, so you can sell them more! Get more, lose less and increase the sales of the dealers you have, are the focal points of this class! TUITION $ 275 CLASS DATES: Nov. 21-22, 02 / Feb. 13-14, 03 May 19-20, 03 / July 31-Aug. 1, 03 Nov. 20-21, 03 RESIDENTIAL DEALER SALES Once you learn that simple objections such as “I want to think it over”, “Your price is too high”, and “I want to get more bids” don’t end the sales presenta-tion, you will close more sales. The successful HVAC salesperson must let the customer know that a higher price represents more value for them. Learn how to get this point across in every step of the sales presen-tation. This is not a high pressure sales class! This is a class that helps you show the customer what they are getting for a little extra money. Think of how much time you would save if you could just close 10% more sales! TUITION $275 CLASS DATES: Oct. 31-Nov. 1, 02 / Jan 16-17, 03 April 10-11, 03 / June 2-3, 03 Aug. 7-8, 03 / Oct. 30-31, 02 COUNTER SALES In most cases, the person that has the most bearing on the customers attitude about the distributor is the counter person. Their abilities directly affect repeat sales, accessory sales and referral sales. This class is designed to hone the people, and selling skills of the professional counter person. Handling irate customers, overcoming price objections, building add on sales, dealing with difficult customers, determining hidden needs, getting the most from your time, and stressing customer service are among the topics for discussion in this hands on, two day workshop! TUITION $ 275 CLASS DATES: Dec. 9-10, 02 / April 14-15, 03 Dec. 8-9, 03 TRAIN-THE-TRAINER If you are responsible for leading meetings, train-ing sessions, or group presentations your future stu-dents will benefit if you attend this class. For 4 1/2 days you will learn the tips that facilitate adult learn-ing and reduce classroom boredom. Many instruc-tors make the mistake of imitating their high school teachers when teaching adults. The result is a boring lecture where little learning occurs. Difficult students, student participation, visual design, and using student knowledge are among the topics of discussion. Come prepared to show your stuff to a simulated audience! TUITION $ 525 CLASS DATES: Dec. 2-6, 02 / Feb. 24-28, 03 June 16-20, 03 / Dec. 1-5, 03 CUSTOMER RELATIONS FOR SERVICE TECHNICIANS If a tech makes 5 calls per day, 5 days per week, 48 weeks per year, they have 1200 opportunities to: * Explain why a higher price might be a better price. * Save an irate customer you would have lost. * Sell accessories to customers who want them. * Get your company a ton of referral customers. ARE THEY READY? TUITION $ 275 CLASS DATES: Dec. 12-13, 02 / June 5-6, 03 Dec. 11-12, 03
