This Week At Contracting Business
Interactive October 22, 2008 |
This is the first of nine articles written by Matt Michel. This
article can be read in its entirety on the Service Roundtable website
(www.serviceroundtable.com/freebies). The article gives advice of what
to do and what not to do at home shows.
Home shows represent great selling opportunities for all sorts of
companies, but are especially attractive for home service companies.
Yet, few companies take advantage of the shows like they should. This
is a quick primer on ways to maximize your home show potential.

I’m fortunate to count as friends some of the top consultants in
the industry. These folks stay booked all year, doing individual
consults, speaking to packed houses, and getting to “correct” the
business sins of the masses. They help draw the “straight line” to
success, dodging much pain and misfortune, while collecting worthwhile
and hefty fees. They would not be busy unless every dime was worth it.

Before replacing HVAC equipment, how many of us take time to assess
the performance of the existing duct system? Although the number is

Emerson Climate Technologies, a business of Emerson, announced the
launch of their new contractor rewards program, 1st Choice Rewards. When
registered contractors purchase Emerson thermostats and White-Rodgers
products through participating distributors, they will now accrue points
that can be redeemed for reward options.
“Contractors are a huge part of our success, so we are always
looking for new ways to show our appreciation for their support,”
said Ken Perkins, director, Contractor Support Team, Emerson Climate
Technologies, White-Rodgers Division. “We have tried to make this
particular program as interesting and accessible as possible by
including an array of great rewards and by making the registration and
redemption process quick and easy.”
Many contractors have already begun to register for Emerson’s 1st
Choice Rewards program. “I like Emerson thermostats and have been
using them in my business for a long time, so I was really excited to
hear about this new program,” said Jack Ostertag, Zipper Air
Conditioning and Heating, Louisville, KY. “I’m a big fan
of the selection of rewards and ease of use associated with the
program.”
Contractors can join the 1st Choice Rewards program by simply signing up
with a participating distributor. The 1st Choice Rewards program does
not require contractors to gather invoices, fill out long forms or fax
documentation to the manufacturer. For more information about the 1st
Choice Rewards Program, contact your local White-Rodgers sales person or
call White-Rodgers headquarters at 314/553-3175.
