Here some of the comments from the people who attended our Total Immersion Service Contractor Sales Summit training in Boston in August, 2011. I love how hvac, plumbing and electrical service techs and sales people can feel so good about themselves after the event. That is what we at ContractorSelling.com live for is to unleash the potential of these powerful people.
Fear can disable the best of us. Many times the fear we face in service and sales situations start to make us create assumptions that lead us to dysfunctional behaviors. Sometimes the fear begins with finding a huge problem that the customer didn’t expect on a typical call. The problem is viewed as small or routine by the client but after you diagnose the whole system you find the problem is bigger than anyone anticipated. The fear that the client may think you are trying to sell them something they don’t need may paralyze some into covering up the problem instead of solving it.
Indeed service or sales people who fear things like the economy, high prices, their ability to sell, close or handle objections usually blame the fear itself which stops them in their tracks, instead of trying to sculpt an effective response to it.
“The problems of today cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created those problems.”

How many times in the service contracting business have you ever had a challenge that just went away by waiting? One of the secrets to being successful in the contracting industry no matter what job you do is to muster the courage to take action.
For instance, think about an installation crew walking around in circles thinking about the job instead of just doing some of the basics that need to be done regardless of the difficulty. Things like protecting the home with floor mats or drop clothes, unloading materials or even removing the old materials and equipment. Sometimes we think too much or try to be an “Einstein” and those thoughts can impair our ability to act.
In this interview, ContractorSelling.com CEO, Joe Crisara shares his thoughts about the state of the service contracting industry and their importance to society. He also talks about his commitment to helping those who need help.
This e-book which was first released in 2006, shatters the myths that has been perpetrated on contractors and their employees for decades.
If you are an average Technician or salesperson then I’m sure you know all the myths and excuses that there are to know.
But with these myths and excuses you will only achieve average or below average results.
If you want OUTSTANDING results then then you must read the special report called the “Lost Contractor.” Although the book was first released in 2006, the principles and fundamentals are more true today than they ever were.
This free report is a must read for all service contractors!
Total Immersion students who attended a recent HVAC Plumbing & Electrical sales training summit discuss a range of topics starting with their greatest challenge, their expectations from sales training and what they thought of the training and “Uncle Joe.” In the end, everyone is asked to rate the training on a scale of 1 to 10. Watch and enjoy the excitement of these students.
“Every so often, someone comes along and completely changes your life for the better. For me Joe Crisara is that person.
I attended a Total Immersion Sales Summit that he was teaching and to say the least it immediately changed my results the week following the meeting. Joe teaches you how to listen and be a student of the customer so that you have the ability to create solutions that completely differentiate you from your competition.
Here I thought I was going to sales training to here the usual “blah, blah, blah” type sales trainer. Instead I came back with a life changing experience and much easier way to sell that completely recharged my batteries.
