This topic has long been shrouded in negative perceptions within the trades community, with many technicians, contractors, and industry professionals viewing it as a taboo or uncomfortable subject—so much so that some even refer to it as a "dirty word." These attitudes are often rooted in various factors, including past negative experiences, misconceptions about the sales process, or a general mistrust of sales tactics. Gil emphasizes his intention to cut through the stigma by examining the facts about HVAC sales and encouraging an open, honest dialogue. He invites live viewers to share their perspectives, fostering a space for constructive discussion. While acknowledging that not everyone in the trades adheres to high ethical standards, he underscores that sales and customer interactions are integral components of the HVAC industry’s functioning.
