Send us a text

We had a fantastic time at the Service World Expo, talking with industry veteran and current president of Service Nation, Tom Peregrino. 

From his early days as a sales rep to owning Daffron Mechanical and now leading one of the most innovative service-providing organizations, Tom shares in-depth insights from his journey in the HVAC industry. 

Quick takeaways from our enlightening conversation:

1. Adapting to Changes: Transitioning from an entrepreneurial role in a mechanical business to a corporate environment demands a mindset shift. It's about embracing new systems and terminology and often being the least informed person in the room. All of this contributes to personal and professional growth.

2. Focus on HR Practices: For any business, hiring is crucial. Having a proper hiring and recruiting model can yield massive benefits. Tom reminds us of the importance of behavioral assessing potential employees, such as using DISC assessment and even including spouses in the hiring process to assess compatibility.

3. Explore Exit Strategies: From the perspective of a business owner, Tom talks about exploring exit strategies. While private equity could be a good exit strategy, understanding it is paramount. It's important to preserve company culture and prioritize customer service over profit.

If you're a contractor or just someone with a vested interest in the world of HVAC services, this episode is a must-listen!
