The Future is Your Decision

Alan Beaulieu, Keynote Speaker

ITR® President and HARDI Chief Economist will be presenting the economic outlook for our industry and the global economy with the clarity that business leaders have come to expect from ITR®. Beaulieu will be taking a look at what is happening in our world and how it will impact attendees.  

 

Attendees will gain confidence in navigating the economic waters that await us and receive a list of which indicators should be watched and which can be safely ignored. This meeting is a must for leaders looking to prepare for changes that are coming over the next few years.

 


Mike Workman

Realizing 2006 Profitability with a 2012 Mind-Set

Wouldn't it be great to return to 2006 with a booming market and record profit? Unfortunately, economists are predicting it will take many years to experience a similar economy, so how do we replicate it in today's market? Mike Workman has drawn from his vast experience in distribution consulting and education to create a road map for a 2012 mindset that can deliver 2006-like results.

 

Know the Road...Set the Course
Now that you have the road map, it's time to find the most effective and efficient means for you to achieve the market and profit objectives for your company. Mike will lead an interactive discussion to determine the obstacles and roadblocks you may face while setting a clear path for success. Can you afford not to be a part of this journey?

 

Contractor Panel

A Detour Down the PCH…Profitability Collaboration Highway- A Road to New Business Opportunities

2012 and beyond will be about growing share and opening new markets instead of relying on expansion of traditional markets. This session will feature two aggressive, forward-looking HVAC contractors who used innovative partnerships with their distributors and manufacturers to enter into completely new markets for their businesses. Greg Gill of Action Air Conditioning in San Marcos, CA, will describe how his suppliers helped him enter the solar market. Dave Kyle, II of Trademasters in Lorton, VA, will then outline how creative and collaborative partnerships with his distributors enabled him to create a new Government Services Division.

 

This session is about the power of collaborative channel partnerships for creating new business with solar and government contracting as examples. The lessons will translate to any new channel partnership regardless of the specific products.
