Free Articles written by Ron for HVACR Business Magazine
Very early in 2006 I met with the executives of HVACR Business Magazine learning more about their product, intention, goals and most importantly their focus on management challenges facing hvacr contractors.
It was clear to me after that meeting that HVACR Business would be providing contractors with exactly the kind of information they needed and filling a niche no other publication had focused on. Specifically, leadership, business strategy, employee recruitment and retention, sales, marketing, finance, training and much more.
In my opinion addressing these topics has been and continues to be the most pressing need in our industry. That's when I decided to join the Magazine as an Editorial Advisory Board member as well as to write exclusive HVACR Business Magazine articles.
