| 6/19/26 |  39: The 2026 HVAC Outlook: What's Working, What's Dead, Where the Money's Moving | In this episode of The Contractor Compass, Colton Bjornson is joined by Thomas Murphy and Broc Fletcher for a mid-year breakdown of what’s actually happening inside HVAC companies right now.Summer is heating up, lead volume is moving, and contractors are starting to see where their systems are strong — and where they’re leaking money.The guys talk through what’s working in HVAC lead generation right now, why more leads don’t automatically mean more sales, and how comfort advisors can hurt their own close rate by cutting corners when appointments start feeling easier.They also get into financing, average ticket sizes, tech turns, marketed install appointments, and why the companies that finish the year strong are usually the ones that maximize every call while demand is high.In this episode:• What Colton is seeing across Meta, PPC, LSA, and HVAC appointment costs• Why summer demand can make weak sales habits worse• The mistake comfort advisors make when they start rushing the process• Why smaller HVAC shops struggle to sell higher-end systems• How to use premium options without racing to the cheapest quote• The difference between tech-turn opportunities and marketed install leads• When repair calls make more sense than install appointments• Why financing has to be framed without making the customer feel broke• Thomas’ take on payment-focused selling and pricing around financing• What HVAC owners should focus on heading into the back half of 2026• Broc’s strategy for turning monthly payments into daily numbers• Why contractors shouldn’t put all their lead flow into one channelIf you own or operate an HVAC company, this episode gives a real look at the three areas that decide whether summer turns into profit or just more chaos: marketing, sales, and financing. | — | ||||||
| 5/26/26 | 38: Why Your Leads Aren't Closing — The Click-to-Close Breakdown | Most HVAC owners think they have a lead problem or a sales problem. The truth? It's almost always a handoff problem — and it's happening at every stage between the click and the close.In this episode, Colton Bjornson (Tier 1 Clicks) and cohost Brock (Limitless HVAC Sales) walk the entire customer journey stage by stage — from the moment a lead comes in to the in-home close — and break down exactly where deals leak, stall, and die along the way. Marketing meets sales, and the two sides finally hash out who's actually to blame when a "good lead" doesn't turn into revenue.What you'll hear:• Speed-to-lead and the 2-minute window that makes or breaks a lead • What a genuinely good lead looks like — and what sales wishes they knew before the call • Where leads die before the appointment ever happens • Why prospects ghost, and how to actually cut your no-show rate • What separates an $8K in-home ticket from an $18K one • The marketing vs. sales blame game — and where the line really gets drawn • The one thing each of us would fix first in a $2M HVAC shopIf you're tired of pointing fingers between your marketing and your sales team, this one's a roadmap for finding the exact spot your pipeline is breaking. | — | ||||||
