First impressions are important. And the first impression in your HVAC, plumbing and electrical company is your Customer Service Representatives (CSRs). They are the first person who makes contact with prospective customers and can single handedly be responsible for success or failure of your current marketing campaign you spent thousands promoting. They deserve ongoing training just like the pro’s no matter how long they have been doing this. There is always room for improvement in this critical position. And if you don’t put his position as one of your most valuable assets, you are missing the most important area of success you can have.

It’s a Tough Job That Requires Intensive Training
In the HVAC business the first line of success for your company is the Customer Service Representatives (CSRs). They are the people who handle the desperate phone calls and emails from people who are freezing when the heat goes out in the winter or sweating when the AC goes out in the summer.
It’s a difficult job to manage all the various calls made daily, and its why Duffy Marketing places a huge premium on proper CSR training as part of the marketing services it provides for HVAC CSRs at companies across the nation.
Small Changes Can Mean Big Gains

Duffy Marketing has its own in-house trainers and a training program specifically designed to meet the customer service needs in the heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical industry.

- Problem solving
- Benefits statements
