Sales

Project Sales took place December 10th-14th in Charlotte, NC.



The objective of this program was to provide an industry-leading training program for Project Sales Representatives focused on developing long-term client relationships within local markets.



The training emphasized project selling skills utilizing the full breadth of company capabilities (i.e. capex planning, account management best practices, energy services, etc). This program required sales associates with the capabilities of developing solutions and presentations up to and including the “C-Suite Level” within a client’s organization. Associates utilized a team selling approach including management, maintenance sales representatives, and energy expertise of the organization, along with strategic account selling concepts. Central to this training was an understanding of Service Logic, encompassing its operating companies, culture, tools, training, and resources available to selling individuals, all of which served as the cornerstone for ensuring their success.

ThermaClear Announcement

Webinar

Host: Don Clark


ThermaClear® is now available to all Service Logic Business Units to help our clients achieve energy reduction and sustainability objectives.



Service Logic Strategic Services has signed a Preferred Partner Agreement with ECM Technologies (ECMT), the manufacturer of ThermaClear®. ThermaClear® is a proprietary nano-fluid formulated to optimize refrigerant performance by addressing the problem of oil fouling, which causes efficiency loss in most HVAC systems resulting from oil buildup in the condenser and evaporator coils.

 

This refrigerant additive is easily installed in DX and Chiller systems and has been independently validated by 3rd party professionals to reduce operating costs by 15% - 20%.


ThermaClear® has been installed in over 25,000 tons of air conditioning condensing equipment ranging from 1-ton air-cooled split units to 1,600-ton water-cooled chillers. Their most notable client to date is the City of Phoenix, which awarded a $2.5 million contract for full-scale ThermaClear® treatment of the city’s estimated 12 million square feet of conditioned space including Sky Harbor Airport.

 

Service Logic’s partnership enables all business units the ability to purchase ThermaClear® at ECMT’s best price and to be part of a Preferred Supplier Network (PSN) that can resell and install the product. In addition, it is anticipated that leads will be forthcoming as a result of ECMT marketing. Initial marketing will highlight ThermaClear® recently receiving the prestigious International Facility Managers Association (IFMA) Innovation Award.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Professional Service

Coordinator

What to Expect:


Successful service companies are constantly striving to increase their business, raise customer satisfaction levels, and improve profitability. One highly effective way to do this is by raising the skill level of the Professional Service Coordinator or Dispatcher. This often-overlooked role may be responsible for more after-market contact and customer satisfaction than any other single position in the company. Effective Service Coordinators can improve company operations with optimal resource scheduling, reduced callbacks, improved staff and customer relationships, and increased renewal or referral business. To be most effective, however, Service Coordinators need a broader set of skills than just telephone and technical strengths which are often the basis for their initial hiring and job training. 



The Professional Service Coordinator training class addresses that need with a comprehensive training program designed to improve understanding and raise their skill level in four key areas relating to the Coordinator’s job: Sales, Customer Service, Operations, and Technical awareness. Enhancing skills in these important areas will help Service Coordinators graduate to a higher level of effectiveness and professionalism that can raise their job satisfaction and dramatically increase their contribution to the organization’s continued success. 


Who Should Attend: Service Coordinators or Service Dispatchers


The Professional Service Coordinator will take place in Washington, D.C. on February 27th - 29th, 2024.


Formal registration along with hotel and travel recommendations will be sent out on January 12th!
