HVAC Owner Increases Monthly Revenue from $40,000 to $96,000

I started out as a one-man operation, kind of went through a couple of things a few years ago, where I was trying to grow, trying to scale and I hit a lot of road bumps. There were a lot of things that I didn't know. I started reaching out to some business coaches because I never had any type of processes or procedures. I was just kind of winging it. My coaches actually, we started. Having the conversation of not necessarily that I'm doing anything wrong, but maybe I'm not getting enough leads or I'm not closing enough sales. And he actually referred me to Sam to close it now. I reached out, actually was actually able to get in contact with him within a day. I was really surprised to see him answer the phone and have a conversation, let him know where I was at my business, kind of what I wanted to do. And he said that he thought he'd be able to help us out a little bit. I'm Steven Probus. I'm with Performance Heating and Air. We're out of Shepherdsville, Kentucky. I'm a full-time owner operator, still out in the field, primarily looking to focus on growing my business, doing sales, and some service. Before I found Close It Now, I had really been struggling since the beginning, trying to start a business, and get to a point where I was hiring people. They weren't necessarily great fits, not having processes or procedures set in place. not having a full sales process necessarily. It led to a lot of inconsistencies with trying to stay busy, trying to keep cash flow, and things of that nature. The monthly price jumped out at me. was like, man, I don't know if I feel like spending this amount of money on this. I've spent thousands of dollars in marketing and lead gen, ran television commercials, spent 30 grand on that, and didn't get a dollar back. But I'd actually been referred to Close It Now from one of my business coaches. And I was like, you know what, if I can spend that kind of money on some marketing that didn't do anything, we can afford to try out this investment and see if it helps us. Talking with Sam, breaking things down, it's like, hey, you know what, if we can sell an extra 600 bucks a week, we're covering that expense easily. The number one benefit that I've seen from using Close It now is that we're consistently closing jobs. It took me a couple of months. It's a process and it takes some practice to really get the ball rolling. I was hoping it was going to be real cut and dry, but we were also to a place where in my training with Sam, I wasn't all the way through my process. So it took me about a solid two months of building the entire process to actually put it into use and to actually see the results. And once you're really about three-quarters of a way through it, you start to realize like, Hey, This works. Once you actually sit down and start talking with homeowners and figuring out their concerns is where you build those benefits at. Actually, December, which is typically one of my slowest months of the year, was actually my busiest month this past year. My average month before working with Sam was 40,000 and that was on a pretty good month. We just closed out December at 96,000. It's not just the sales process. Working with Close It Now has helped me in so many other ways outside of just sales in general. Being a small business, I have a lot of questions regarding hiring guys or margins set right, pricing structures. It's not just a sales course. It's pretty much whatever you need. They have a good playbook to go by to help you in whatever direction you're shooting for. If you're sitting on the fence debating on if close it now is for you or not, my best advice is going to be if you're going to put to work the lessons that you're taught. If you're ready to go out and actually put the process into place and work towards setting goals and realizing what it's gonna take to achieve them, absolutely. If you're willing to go through the process, practice it, and learn it, it's a no-brainer. It will absolutely help you and you will see results.
