AmeriSpec held an in-person meeting on April 12 for all energy advisors in Canada. The meeting focused on aligning new and experienced energy advisors on the AmeriSpec data collection and data collection form process. Topics included pony walls, foundations, heat pumps, PV systems, water heaters and more.

Key meeting takeaways included:

• The pre retrofit and post retrofit data collection forms have been updated to clarify required information
• A reminder of required photographs
• And a demo on using the ccASHP and PV system azimuth calculator spreadsheets provided by NRCan

We'd like to extend a special thank you to those who participated. Owners in attendance were Chris Hill, Andrew Laroche and Blair White. Energy Advisors on hand were Jamie Fluker, Chris Germann, Jordan Hardie, Josh Kelly, Steve Swaisland, Linto Thomas, John Walker, and Sean Zimmer.

Energy Advisors from across Canada also joined virtually.

BDC William Hawkins recently had the privilege of meeting with AmeriSpec co-owners Lance Ellis and James Parra in Albuquerque, NM. He was impressed with their operations and how they conducted team meetings.

As a result, you'll find some of their of top tips here:

1. Set a goal for your team meeting: Think about your business goals and how your employees can help you achieve that success. Try to incorporate at least one technical aspect into every meeting. For example, James and Lance's team learned all about Orangeburg piping at one of their meetings and how to spot it.

2. Get ASHI credits for your team meetings: If you're hosting these meetings, why not get ASHI credits for your inspectors?

3. Choose the right location: Lance held it at his house and made an awesome home cooked lunch!

4. Collaborate on a team meeting agenda: Your team might have some things that they’d like to discuss as a group.

5. Discuss marketing and asking for reviews: There are opportunities for both sales and customer reviews. Consider doing a fun related role play activity at your meeting.

6. Stick to your agenda: Prepare the agenda of main points beforehand and pass it out at the meeting.

Thank you to Lance and James for sharing this with the network!
