Overcoming Price   Recently, we've gotten a few questions asking how to overcome the Price Objection. If you've viewed any of our training or gone through the curriculum of the HVAC Sales Academy, you'll notice that we speak very adamantly against dropping your price to get a deal unless under very special circumstances. It's hard to stick to your guns and refuse to drop your price when you see all of your competitors doing it, especially on the higher-end equipment where the markup is even higher. A common concern people run in to is "Am I pricing myself out of the game?" Although this is a legitimate concern to have, the short answer to this question is "No." Your sales process, when run correctly, should take care of the price objection for you.   Premium EGIA Members: Log-in at the link below and click on the HVAC Sales Academy box in the Contractor Portal to watch this week's training to learn more about overcoming price.     EGIA Member Log-in

Contractors Given Never-Before-Seen Access to Industry Leaders and Their Roadmaps to Success as EGIA Officially Launches Contractor University Conference Tour and In-Person Educational Workshops   On February 9 and 10, the Electric & Gas Industries Association (EGIA), a nonprofit organization serving a nationwide network of home services contractors, officially kicked-off the 2017 EGIA Contractor University Conference Tour in San Diego, its first of five stops nationwide. The conference publicly marks the launch of EGIA Contractor University's in-person events, which offer contractors heretofore unheard-of access to some of the industry's most influential thought leaders and educators.   The San Diego conference brought together hundreds of contractors committed to growing and improving their businesses, along with many industry experts, including keynotes Mark Matteson and Ellen Rohr. Each shared strategies targeted to improving particular pain points in a contracting business – as well as big picture growth opportunities – all set to the backdrop of peer-to-peer networking, vendor exhibitions and the historic Hotel del Coronado. After a day-and-a-half, attendants walked away with a wholly reinvented business strategy and were primed for transformational business growth.   "What EGIA has provided is really a great service," said Kenneth Gibson of Gibson Heating and Cooling, an attendant in San Diego. "It's very rare that you can get all these people into a room together at one time -- and really interact with them outside of the breakout sessions. So if you do have a question that's specific to you, you can get an answer."     View Full Press Release
