3 Signs It’s Time to Hire More HVAC Employees 1. Current HVAC Technician Workloads Reach Full Capacity After finishing preparations to launch a marketing campaign or sales push, consider what the health of the business will look like if the campaign is successful. 2. You’re Turning Down Profitable Jobs The concept here is simple: if you’re turning down profitable jobs because you don’t have enough technicians, then it’s time to hire more HVAC employees. 3. There’s No Bandwidth to Promote Top Talent Even if you have enough technicians to complete jobs and grow your business, it’s pointless if there’s no bandwidth to promote top talent. Since amazing HVAC technicians are difficult to find, it’s essential to keep them happy in the business by establishing a dependable career path. #FieldEdge #hiringplans #hvachiring #hiringshortage #hiringtips

We didn’t have service managers a year ago. Now we have four and it’s been the revenue hack I wanted. It’s a system that took time to hone, but we’ve done it four times now by asking the important questions. What is their workflow? How do they gel with the team? What type of person are they and does that equal leadership? Can they handle our call-by-call system, where that service manager is in touch with the technician each step of the way to talk sales and service options? That org structure is just so big that we need that kind of constant contact for all of this to work as intended. But it's been an amazing system for everyone involved. Customers get service and treatment specific to their needs, technicians learn and grow from each call, and managers get their finger on the pulse of day-to-day work. #HVAC #Plumbing #Electrical

Your field technicians ARE speaking with your clients so they must have great and professional communication and customer service skills. They will be speaking with your customers, they will be communicating with your management and your office coordinators. Want to hear another benefit of working with a recruiter? This week, I was helping a client fill a couple of openings for a field #HVAC technician. In one of the candidate calls, I literally got yelled at for 5 minutes and told how to do my job 🤣 . He had a lot of missing information on his resume and I asked a couple of very basic questions related to the job. He got angry during the call. In contrast, another candidate I spoke to was simply amazing. He spoke about his work experience, answered all the questions in a very friendly manner, was professional and respectful during the entire phone call. When submitting a candidate's resume to hiring managers, I do include "soft skills" observations such as " He has great and professional communication skills as well as follow-up skills". I understand that for most of my clients, their technicians are in a client-facing position, so communication/ customer service skills are equally as important as hard skills. #constructionjobs #hvacjobs #recruiting

HVAC Contractors, can you imagine training someone technically for months ...and then finding out they can't sell? Any sales manager will tell you that one rep can sell 5 of 10 opportunities, while another can only sell 1 of 10. That's why you hire sales professionals and teach them just enough HVAC to sell... Salespeople can take measurements and photos like big boys and girls. The most profitable home-services businesses operate this way. Or you can listen to a smug technician tell you he knows how to sell, it's really that the leads are bad... 🤪 *I do know a FEW technicians that are excellent salespeople. However, you cannot scale unicorns. #hvac #familybusiness #salescoaching

Ever wondered why HVAC Technicians are the backbone of Facility Management? 🤔 In the US, HVAC systems account for nearly 40% of a building's energy consumption (source: U.S. Department of Energy).
