All distribution businesses are sales driven, which is why HARDI’s Marketing & Sales Optimization Conference is the biggest focus conference of the year. To learn and discuss specific marketing and sales practices specific to HVACR distribution is such a unique opportunity, and I encourage you to send someone from your company to this event, which occurs June 3-5 in Miami.

If you’ve got some young, talented people at your company, you should encourage them to get involved in HARDI’s Emerging Leaders program, which includes the Emerging Leaders Summer Conference, July 22-24, in Columbus, Ohio. The conference is highlighted by its mentor-led roundtables, where it’s old guard meets new blood. While I normally get to share my experiences with our up-and-comers, unfortunately this is the one event I can’t make it to this year.

Lastly, HARDI is revamping our committee and council structure. If you’ve been looking for a way to get involved in HARDI, this is a perfect opportunity. Whether you’re a subject matter expert or you’d like to gain some expertise as part of your professional development, check out the list of roughly 15 committees and councils on the HARDI website.

You have so many valuable resources available to you as a HARDI member, so if you ever need to hear more about them or need a refresher, your HARDI team is ready and waiting to talk with you at any time. Give them a call today.
