Brian talks about at what size should a company hire a sales/business consultant

[15:42-16:54] "I would say as early as starting your business off from the beginning… There's no real sweet spot…," says Brian Grainger

Brian shares, the #1 Most Important Part of Building a Million-Dollar HVAC Company

[21:14-23:25] "When I'm with a technician, the process is #1 most important… It's a process they have to follow. The reason that most of these companies are growing several million dollars a year, that I'm working with, it's because they're learning the process," says Brian Grainger

How long should they be on the job before they start taking pictures?

[00:26:00] "Service techs… they really should be having a conversation with the homeowner for at least 20 minutes before they're down in the basement because how do you build rapport, ask questions, find out what's going on, and really know what the customer's looking for if you go right down to the basement and start looking at the furnace?," says Brian Grainger

Brian further talks about the why financial startegies is important and how to go about it.

[00:33:00]"I like to go through financials a couple of times during the month just so I know where I'm at and if I have to make changes, I can make changes now versus waiting 'til the end of the month, and then it's like, crap I lost money this month," shares Brian Grainger
