Your HVAC Connection

Meet Joe & Matt

The right HVAC hire needs more than “HVAC” on a résumé. Talk with Joe and Matt about your equipment, applications, sales channel and customer base so we can identify the experience that matters most to your business.

What We Evaluate

Equipment knowledge. Application understanding. Commercial strength.

The strongest HVAC professionals understand more than a product category. They know how equipment is selected, specified, sold, installed and supported — and how those decisions change depending on the customer and channel.

01

Product experience

What HVAC, building-system or air-handling equipment have they sold, supported or helped customers specify?

02

Application knowledge

Do they understand heating, cooling, airflow, filtration, controls and system performance?

03

Customer relationships

Have they worked with distributors, mechanical contractors, engineers, OEMs, facility owners or end users?

04

Sales approach

Have they succeeded in specification selling, channel development, territory growth, project sales or strategic account development?
