Just got this from John Hall.

“The Next Contractor” Available in Early 2006

A new book about starting or re-starting a small business based on real-life experiences from heating & cooling (HVAC) contractors, will be available to the public in early 2006. The book, an accumulation of true stories set to a fictional backdrop, is written by John R. Hall, Business Management Editor for The Air Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration News, the leading publication for the HVAC trade. Hall has eight years of reporting experience covering the HVAC contracting trade and is a 20-year trade journalist.

Hall recounts interviews with over 100 contractors in weaving this tale of a small businessman, intent on buying an HVAC service & replacement business, who goes on a fishing trip with his friend, Robert (also a successful HVAC contractor and consultant), and learns about the do’s and don’ts of running a small business.

Readers will learn what other contractors have experienced when it comes to such things as employee hiring and retaining, marketing and advertising, how to choose a software program, customer service tips, what mistakes to avoid, etc. There are also bonus chapters containing “sage advice” and profits tips. Learn what it is like to work “on” the business instead of “in” the business. You don’t have to be an HVAC contractor to enjoy the book – only a small businessperson.

Further information will be available in early January 2006 at the book website (www-next-contractor.com) or by calling Hall at 734-464-1970. If you’d like to be put on the pre-order waiting list (no deposit required) e-mail Hall at ideaperson@sbcglobal.net.

We do pipe and heat -

not widgets. We hired a business coach last spring - so that we could learn to work on the business not in it. This sounds like the perfect book for those of us in the HVAC bus. Sign me up - send two.
