Top managers typically have a hand in every aspect of managing the business, from deciding what brands and products the firm will represent, to the many products and services they will buy. If you can’t persuade the boss, you’ll never sell your products.

READER ACTION METRICS

In July 2022 we commissioned a readership study with Harvey Research Inc.

As with all research, data and reference points aid greatly in understanding the information being presented. To that end, we asked Harvey to provide us with results from other B2B publishers on an anonymous basis so that we could better understand the percentages and rankings of our study.  Harvey provided us with statistical averages over a four year period for both B2B and consumer titles - over 500 research projects. Based on the percentages below you can clearly see how well HVACR Business performed against a substantial baseline of data.

Two of our favorite slides from the Harvey study clearly illustrates the relationship our readers have with HVACR Business. On average, readers spend 30 minutes with each issue of our magazine. And, one of the most impressive statistics about HVACR Business is the length of our relationship we have with our readers. The average is 5.6 years. 47% have been subscribers for 7 years or more and even more impressive is 30% have been subscribers for ten years or more. If you’re looking for a publication that can help you build your brand and continuity with the customers over time — it’s an easy choice — HVACR Business.

A you know, businesses that manage teams of heating, air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics and installers rely on smart dispatching. Whether it’s assigning the team member with the most suitable skill set to each job or simply working out who can get there the quickest, it’s essential to have real-time information on hand. According to one study looking at 2022 field service trends, 55% of fleet managers and executives reported that the pandemic had negatively impacted their business, while 44% of fleet managers saw increasing costs as their top challenge. To drive efficiency savings, many field service SMBs have implemented specialist software for contractors designed to improve accuracy and take the guesswork out of the scheduling and dispatching process. We chatted with JG van Graan, Director for ThermoGrid on the importance of smart dispatching and how it can help your business stay on track—and even scale! How can finding the right software improve routing, scheduling, and dispatching? A complaint always hear how emergency calls and last-minute jobs mess up technician’s schedule. Most heating and cooling business owners aren’t aware how contract scheduling software can fully automate tech scheduling. This reduces downtime and even helps plan out the best schedules and fastest routes for their team. What’s the importance of keeping your whole team on the same page with one software? Your team in the field needs to stay connected, not only with each other, but with the folks in the office as well. When everyone is using and updating single system together, then they’re all on the same page. This means your techs won’t need to make as many phone calls to chase down parts availability, or equipment records. Everything available on their phone or tablet. And if you need to dispatch someone quickly, you’ll be able to easily locate the tech who has the skill and availability to jump on that job. One of the biggest issues field service businesses face is identifying the right technician for every job. How can software help with accuracy? Nothing worse than a wasted trip. It costs you money and frustrates your valuable customers. If you have service call for boiler, you want to make sure you’re sending someone who is qualified to repair boiler. Dispatch software will actually store your tech’s skills, qualifications, and training so that you can easily match the job to the best tech. You’ll improve call times and first-time fix rates, all while keeping your customers happy. What about emergency work orders? Imagine one of your customers calls you on the hottest day of the year, complaining that their A/C isn’t running. You will keep that customer for life if you can respond quickly and make sure they are sleeping in cool house that night. Dispatch software can automatically assign the nearest or next available tech. You don’t have to scramble to arrange routes or schedules. And since the team all synced into the process, communication and productivity are not interrupted.
