Healthy homes and indoor air quality are widely viewed as one of the key emerging drivers for whole-house home performance retrofits.

In-home selling is different. In the unique world of in-home selling, you are not calling on a business where, since the decision makers are at work, they are expected to make business and financial decisions.

This session is not to miss for business owners, sales managers, and selling professionals.

Is there a greater challenge than working on the front lines of an organization and dealing one on one with customers daily? Much hinges on this critical role - from building strong customer relationships, to uncovering their ongoing needs, establishing loyalty, and even continued sales growth.

In this session, we'll take a close look at what customers really want, and then examine what we can do to meet and exceed those expectations. We'll also explore what makes up a customer focused culture, and how that impacts what each person does in their every day roles and responsibilities.

Do your prospects and clients see you as a wizard? If not, Mike can propose a solution. Wizards make more money.

During this webinar, you'll learn to:

  1. Use technology in business operation and management
  2. Understand the decision-making process of your prospect
  3. Produce loyal and satisfied customers
  4. Program the client for referrals
  5. Understand consultative sales

Contractors who can estimate more quickly can often sell the job for more money. Faster estimating begins with a streamlined system of pricing.
Mike can show how to create a list of job-related activities for your company. These job-related activities define the processes required to complete some or all of the jobs you perform. Or, beg, borrow or buy a list (often referred to as a database) that lends itself to the type of work that you do.
With practice, you’ll find that you can do the impossible in less time.

Through this webinar, you'll learn the following:

  1. How to use technology in business operation and management
  2. An estimating system is a tool, and sometimes it’s the tool that gets used more than any other. Depending on your business, this tool might be computerized.
  3. Simple checklists can often be developed into a quick and accurate estimating system.
