Industry-wide, I saw a huge incentive to push technicians and other employees to sell things that customers didn’t need.
I remember one specific time I was sitting in a training meeting of a different HVAC company. One of the things they said that was when a customer took out their wallet, try to take a look inside and, if you see money in there, you try and to get it all – try to take every dollar. This same company taught me, when you try and sell a system – sell it for as much as you possibly can. You will be surprised at how people will pull money out from all sorts of places – they have money, don’t let them kid you. These meetings were trying to teach us how to take advantage of people.
I had never looked at the world that way before. I had only ever sold people what they needed and, as a result, that particular company felt like I was a lot less profitable than they wanted. Read more…

I had been working as an installer in another trade for years. I was used to working with customers and loved figuring out troubleshooting equipment problems. My favorite part was seeing the relief of the customer after I was able to help.
It was time for a change. I was nervous about learning about HVAC systems. After starting, I was amazed at how great everyone was to work with and how I was able to transition so seamlessly.
I should have made the change years before.
I worked hard to obtain all my certifications. I wanted to work with a company that would value my unique ideas and perspectives.
I was also nervous about working for a company that would use shade sales techniques to push customers into systems they didn’t need.
Sammy’s was the right choice for me! I love the ability to help people and turn my customers (and fellow employees) into friends.
Right now, our technicians average 2-4 years with us. We have an environment that is honest and where you can really feel like you are apart of a family. Because of that, most people like to stick around.
Many technicians get tired of the pressure of constantly having to sell as part of their job. Additionally, many companies promote techniques and incentive structures that can feel dishonest and hard to work for.
At Sammy’s, our technicians don’t have to sell. We pay hourly (rather than piece-rate) so you can stay until the job is done right.
For those that are the right fit, these differences are attractive and exciting!
