Course Objective:

In this live Q&A session, exclusively for Loyalty Rewards qualifying members, Contractor University faculty members will start by answering some of the most frequent questions we receive from contractors around the topic of residential service department profitability. Questions such as:

  1. How can I ensure my service labor rate is properly set?
  2. Should I be using flat rate pricing?
  3. What should my target gross and net profit numbers be?

These are a few of the many questions we get every day when it comes to profitability in service. HVAC contractors know they need to strive for profitability in their residential service department, but they also understand how difficult it can be thanks to seemingly endless factors: escalating labor costs, fringe benefits, call-backs, improper pricing, and so many more.

After answering questions around service department profitability, and as time allows, we’ll open it up for Q&A on any topic attendees would like to discuss. Don’t miss this opportunity to receive real-time answers and expert guidance from Contractor University faculty members on the biggest challenges or issues you are facing in your business today. So bring your questions. We’ll provide the answers. The help you need is just a call away.
