With more than 34 years of experience in the HVAC industry, I have grown a passion for working with distributor Territory Managers (TMs). My training philosophy is that the TM is the key factor in helping a dealer grow and become profitable. It is the role of a TM to help their dealers succeed, which in turn helps them succeed. All my courses are designed from a TM’s perspective to create value and differentiation. My classes emphasize open dialogue, real-life distribution issues, and dealer-focused solutions.
