Last issue, I focused on “The Next Big Thing” – the home
performance industry – that many contractors were planning for at the
ACCA Convention. This issue, I’ll discuss what I observed regarding
“The Big Shift” that many HVAC contractors are already involved in,
and it’s changing the way they communicate, the way they sell, and the
way they market their businesses. Chances are, you’re already
partaking in “The Big Shift”. Read on for a glimpse into how other
HVAC contractors are leveraging this shift.

AMERICAN SPORTS LEGEND TO DELIVER KEYNOTE ADDRESS AT HVACR WEEK
Come celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the “Miracle On Ice” with an
Opening Keynote Event at HVACR WEEK like no other. U.S. Olympic hockey
team Captain Mike Eruzione will captivate the audience with uplifting
stories on overcoming the odds, the benefits of hard work, and the
belief that anything is possible. HVACR WEEK attendees will walk away
inspired, moved and ready to take Mike’s message right back to their
own businesses.
Mike Eruzione is an American sports legend and icon. As captain of the
1980 U.S. Olympic “Miracle on Ice” hockey team, Eruzione led the
Americans past the heavily favored Soviet Union and Finland to capture
the Gold Medal. Sports Illustrated rated the U.S. upset of the Soviets
as the “#1 Sports Moment of the 20th Century”.
