In 2019 she took over as the Sales Manager and have the good fortune of helping 5 sales people find the same satisfaction and success that she has had in HVAC sales.Women In HVAC And Selling With Care   It's time to raise the standards in the industry! it's time to embrace our society and just take this industry to really make a dent into this century because we all know that the HVAC industry is a big old slow ship that's very slow to turn and move so everything that we can do to speed up the process to bring it current, gets us where we need to be is part of that journey. Today,     So im super excited about our guest today, we have a woman which Is awesome.
